After a long hiatus from this blog I'm returning with some art. The long break, at least partly due to ill health, has me a little ashamed but glad to be back sharing some of the pages of my art journal.
I finished another painting for Suzi blu's class which I am pleased with. I have neglected to embellish it with transfers and rub ons and fabric but struggled to find suitable materials to do so. Instead I left it simply painted and coloured and a little sanded. The text says "bliss can be found in tiny things". The scanner does seem to bleach out a lot of the colour in the face but I don't have a digital camera at present. I like the colours and the expression on the face though.
In addition to this I have continued to do Sharpie drawings for Illustration Friday.
"Germs"
and "Flying".
I like both of these drawings although I have not been brave enough to put up a link at Illustration Friday. There are some seriously talented artists taking part over there. They are very inspiring.
And so as the nights draw in I have finished a crocheted lap blanket for snuggling under on chilly evenings. I love autumn and the desire for nesting that comes with it!
Unfortunately I lost my job last month which left me reeling with fear about to manage the festive season with so little money. I do have a little job one day a week which brings in a little money but due to a long term health problem I'm unable to take on anything else at present. On the positive side I have plenty of time to create some simple Christmas cards and for drawing when I am feeling good.
Ok that's me for now.
I'll be back soon with another Illo Friday!
