Why I draw…

October 26, 2016October 26, 2016 KateLeave a comment

I have a secret. Actually, it is an old one. It has to be. You see I've been doing it for ages, even in public... I do it on the grass, in my workshop, in front of my family, in front of strangers. And all anyone says is - wow. That's good. Or - I… Continue reading Why I draw…

Transformation

October 25, 2016 KateLeave a comment

I turned up yesterday with two large plastic boxes. Both are ordinary... Both have black lids. I went back to the car and picked up a striped fabric bag about 3 ft by 3ft. I walked into the blank space and yelled hello to everyone. I got shouts and waves back. People started to arrive… Continue reading Transformation

Artifical

October 23, 2016 Kate2 Comments

I have issues that mean I find it difficult to read other peoples expressions and feelings. What can seem like a fake smile to a someone else I will see as genuine. I can't see it. I have tried but it is difficult. I have very little facial recognition and have lost friends because I've… Continue reading Artifical

Patreon

October 21, 2016 KateLeave a comment

I had a choice - get a paypal button for the blog so people can 'donate' or a Patreon page. I decided to go with Patreon... It feels better. I offer rewards for what people pledge. Some will get physical artwork and some digital art. Have a look... Money is something I hate to think… Continue reading Patreon

Millions

October 21, 2016 Kate2 Comments

There has to be that many artworks I have produced. Some are lost... Like the line of kingfishers I drew on a twig, all fluffy and sulky looking. I moved to Wales and forgot that the picture was in a shop. There they remained and now I have no idea where it is. Did it sell? Did… Continue reading Millions

Ancient

I was out walking with a friend in the New Forest and we were looking at an iron age hill fort. Of course it is in the New Forest so all we can see are trees and maybe a slight rise where the ring had been. "You know if my mate were here she would find… Continue reading Ancient

Underground

October 19, 2016 KateLeave a comment

Imagine a town under the ground... There are shops and people living. Small cottage industries like seamstresses and tailors make the place a bustling town. Everyone is working and the place is a hive of activity. Everyone is poor but they are all in the same boat. Now, imagine that a disease hits, it's nasty.… Continue reading Underground

Getting fit

October 19, 2016 Kate2 Comments

Really! I decided to. Let's put it this way, a friend wanted me to walk to the top of a hill. It was a fairly steep slope... It took me about 12 stops and I lot of time. He coached me all the way up and I made it. I was so proud... But this… Continue reading Getting fit

Urgent

October 17, 2016 Kate2 Comments

This morning I woke up with a feeling that wouldn't go away. It hung in the air and made me feel like I was missing something. The last few weeks have been one of change. I have picked up a troll, and my artwork and writing is taking a slightly different turn. Normally one of… Continue reading Urgent
