WOYWW 177 - A big fat messy mess mess....

(Can you believe this is taken with a flash at 11am??? October in England, heh?? *sigh*)

 

Well, not much drawing going on, is there?? Maybe it's all aversion tactics, but a dear friend helped me sort out piles of books and art supplies the other day, but we ran out of steam before we tackled the desk... But, at least now I can reach the desk!!

 

This is clearly my task for today... *heavy sigh*

 

But, there are highlights, such as these colourful ribbons dear Debbie sent me, after I admired the gorgeous creations in her etsy shop.

 

 

She even included a pretty wired bead, so I could make a necklace

 

What a sweetie :)

And other highlights?

The sky the other evening...

And this bush in our back garden...

And, of course, globe-trotting to meet all the other lovely WOYWWers over at Julia's Stamping Ground :)

The skies may be dank and grey, but there's colour in my heart!!

Have a happy Wednesday xxxx

 



WOYWW 174 - Figuring stuff out...

I've been using my lap desk a lot recently...

Trying to think things through... which, for me means reading and writing...

The art course is in the background, as I figure out exactly want I want to do...

I'm using this little book The Mindful Writer: Noble Truths of the Writing Life... The principles apply as much to the visual arts as the literary...

Here's a close up

I'm trying to figure out what I have to say in my drawings...

I want to 'make an honest offering', not just a representation of the object in front of me...

I know that if I am to do this course properly, honestly and truthfully, I have to think about such things...

I'm sure others' desks are much more exciting and colourful, but I'm in a serious, thoughtful mode of being at the moment, and I hope you'll forgive my lack of exciting pics...

See you all over at Julia's Stamping Ground for the worldwide trip around our desks :)
