Can you change your ways? Today’s 64 million artist challenge should have been a dream from me as it was playing with paint. I’m stuck in my ways. The brief was to spread paint without any plan…and that didn’t go to plan. Brush in hand I couldn’t stop myself from painting in a sky fromContinue reading “Playing with paint”

Capture your day
Does your day run on time? I wonder what dogs really think. I started collecting photos of Luna from the day we brought her home. Following Luna around the house has been a fun exercise. She is into everything, and every experience is new. There are no limits to her curiosity. Luna’s face has manyContinue reading “Capture your day”
High Five
What brings you joy? Today’s 64 million Artist challenge is to draw round your hand and illustrate it with items that make you smile. There are so many things that I enjoy, today is about Luna our puppy. She came home to us in November last year and made her mark immediately. Establishing her favouriteContinue reading “High Five”
Dance, Dance, Dance, everywhere!
Dancing is not my bag, but I like the rhythm of music and a good beat. I felt inspired to create an abstract collage piece today based on the classic floor maps used by dance teachers. I’m not particularly fond of dancing but I think I have managed to get the energy of movement withinContinue reading “Dance, Dance, Dance, everywhere!”
Pranayama
Breathing is something we all take for granted. Having Cystic Fibrosis makes todays challenge quite difficult. Breathing can be a source of anxiety. Each morning and evening I have to do a series of breathing exercises to help remove any mucus build up in the lungs. Over the years these exercises also known as physioContinue reading “Pranayama”
(re)Imagine
Day 19 of the 64 million Artists January Challenge. I feel like I’m really getting into my stride now with these challenges. I have been reading about sustainable art and creating inks from natural dyes. (Re)Imagine made me think about my art materials and how I could create natural ways to mark making. I decidedContinue reading “(re)Imagine”
Geiriau Newydd
Frottage:- the technique or process of taking a rubbing from an uneven surface to form the basis of a work of art. This is a technique I have not used much. I created a textural background to begin my work using cardboard, string an tin foil. I like text in abstract images so I found some oldContinue reading “Geiriau Newydd”
4 Inch collage
I’ve been collecting autumn colours and old envelopes from Amazon. I love the solid lines of the bard code on the bags. I find with collage and abstract painting that I end up with an annoying horizon line in whatever I produce. This small collage was no different and I was contemplating creating a landscapeContinue reading “4 Inch collage”
Tell me something about family
You always assume your family is normal. But what is normal? During Covid when we couldn’t mix, family became more important, and we all went the extra mile to support one another. This is an image of Debs playing Tetris with her brother’s family online in our lounge. A very competitive game which often resultsContinue reading “Tell me something about family”
Creative Rest
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”
