It did start out a bit silly though when I decided to go out wearing my new fake sheepskin jacket. I got round the corner and met someone wearing a tee shirt. Felt uncomfortable and went home. I’m not sure if I’m scared to go out and use any excuse not to, or I just like staying home.

So I sat down and watched this week’s episode of ” Have I got news for you.” I’m sure laughter was as good for my mental health as a walk up town. ( Well, maybe….)

Today I spent quite a lot of time watching short videos of artists living on Hornby Island. I think it’s in Canada.  I liked best the ones with older women artists. I’m always looking for role models. It was very inspiring.

So much so that I set up my phone and a black canvas and took photos of myself with scarves.

Then I edited all the photos and transferred the best ones on to my tablet.

I wasn’t going to start today, but I ate a Twix and felt that I’d better use up the extra calories.

My plan is to draw on round black canvases using my neocolour 11s.

It was fun.

I’m pleased with results so far. Next step is to add detail etc with acrylic paint.

Just before I began I had watched a short video on how perfection isn’t good. That imperfection is what makes you feel. I’m good at imperfection.

I think I’ve finally finished the olive pickers painting. I might have said this before,  but I signed it this time.

Wine time now and I’m pleased with my day so far. I’ve got another 4 photos of me with scarves to use. That should keep me occupied this week.

Cheers🍷🍷
