On Saturday I woke at 4 am in anaphylaxis... I have a tree nut allergy and I had come into contact with walnuts the day before. I had thought it was under control. It had felt bad but I was fine. Coughing a bit but my parents are both full of cold so I thought… Continue reading Devastation

Aesthetic
I have a project on the go. In fact, it has been in planning for ages. But I have just not been able to decide on a theme. Until now that is... I have booked myself into a fairytale fair so I have decided that my colouring book will picture popular tales and mythological creatures.… Continue reading Aesthetic
Marathon
I've been lazy... I took a couple of days off to reassess what I needed to do. I found that there was one thing I hadn't done! The artwork I have left over from Christmas was still languishing in a drawer... I hadn't uploaded it! So today I have just done a marathon upload... So… Continue reading Marathon
Capable
I think I'm capable. I think I'm practical. But at the same time I'm a creative and can spend the whole day working on something I have dreamed about. Last night I met up with a couple of mates and I got talking with another creative friend. The odd thing is that although we make things… Continue reading Capable
Someday
People say to me that someday they will have time. Someday they well take the time... It doesn't matter what they are going to do, it just that they are waiting for the time to do it. In the distant past, when our ancestors sat around a fire and shared stories and food do you… Continue reading Someday
Cling
I am not sure why but I cling to the fact I will make it as an artist and writer. Stubbornly so. By my fingernails most of the time. I refuse to give up. Some say that I ought to have made it before now... But I maintain that there is just myself to blame.… Continue reading Cling
Uneven
My art is becoming uneven... It doesn't seem to matter what I draw. I'm going away from this: To more this: My art is becoming looser and somehow free. It is becoming uneven. There is a huge part of me that screams, no! But the rest of me wants to laugh and throw paint around...… Continue reading Uneven
Shine
The world has to shine... For me anyway. Last year ended on a bad note. I was left broken, both physically and mentally. I knew that there would be triggers. That I would be doing something I usually do and then I'd be hit by panic or anxiety, either a feeling or a physical symptom.… Continue reading Shine
Float
I did my first degree in Derby University, and as part of it I got to visit Majorca. Not the commercial side but the hills, mountains and beaches. I was studying art and biology, an odd mix but one that I loved. One walk we went on I remember the heat being overwhelming. I mean… Continue reading Float
Tempted
I have just been contacted on Facebook by someone wanted to learn to draw... I'm tempted... I mean I would have to get the log burner into the workshop... I don't mind working in a slightly cold workshop, but if I was bringing anyone in they would have to be proper heat. The workshop is… Continue reading Tempted
