I’m not great at taking a break from thinking or working. I’m always doing something! In fact, I have been thinking about what rest I should take on this Creative rest challenge. It’s probably why I end up with anxious thoughts running round my head. So, after much thought I have drawn a cartoon forContinue reading “Creative Rest”

I can sing a rainbow
‘Write down a list of songs that connect to colour’ As an artist I find this challenge, quite challengeing. There is hardly any room for art! And so I have decided to do a collage of album sleeves of songs I love. Hospital Radio Reading has just gone completely digital and the albums and vinlyContinue reading “I can sing a rainbow”
Colourful voices
‘Colour in your singing’ This is a great challenge to paint while listening to music. Not worrying about anything other than what colour takes your fancy. I am using a old school techinique of a line creating shapes to colour. I am going to use watercolour and allow it to cross the lines and mergeContinue reading “Colourful voices”
Imperfect Creations
‘Use a spillage, stain or tear to inspire your creativity’ I saw this on an Instagram reel and thought I must try it. Splashes of watercolour to create people, trees or clouds. Watercolour is unpredictable at its best and splashing adds more chaos into the mix! I felt my splashes were people with umbrellas inContinue reading “Imperfect Creations”
Odd Poetry
Day 10 – write a 10 line poem about an odd item around you. I suffered with anxiety in 2022. It became so bad I was unable to drive or ride my bike. There was no rhyme or reason to the blockage in my brain. I am happy to say that I managed to getContinue reading “Odd Poetry”
Twist
The object of today’s challenge is to add a unique twist to a family recipe. I have a story to tell today. When I was about 11 and I was staying with my Nan, she was cooking custard to go on top of a sponge pudding. Nan’s house was old, built in 1911-ish. There wasContinue reading “Twist”
Pick me up
Experimenting with watercolour! What’s your pick me up? I’ve been a fan of Ann Blockley for years and I have several of her books on my art shelf! Ann has a lovely loose technique. I love watercolour and I can spend hours painting and loosing time. It’s a pick-me up I use in hospital whenContinue reading “Pick me up”
Found it first
The colours of Autumn are hard to replicate! Day 7 of the 64 Million Artists January challenge. I’m lucky that I have been collecting and pressing leaves in shades of Autumn for a different project. I wanted to create a natural palette for Procreate sampling the colours from nature. Today is a real experiment stickingContinue reading “Found it first”

Day 6 of the January 64 Million Artists challenge. – Glorify an everyday object. Speak as if it’s the best thing you have ever owned! Nothing scares me more than writing poetry! I apologise for what is about to happen. Ode to the Mince Pie It’s the seasonal festive treat, Which none of my familyContinue reading “Glorious”
Hello.
I love today’s challenge – ‘Add a face to an everyday object, what is the story?’ I’m reminded of my nan who worked as a Nanny in a stately home. To entertain the children, she made up stories of coins who only wanted to get back to the bank. They would go out and haveContinue reading “Hello.”
