Ronaldo does it again!


I'm glad all that Easter nonsense is out of the way, i'm not into festivities and bank holidays, reminds me of Sundays years ago, when everything was closed and it was impossible to do stuff.
A bit fed up of the pen at the moment, inquisitive people who act like donkeys don't help...making unreasonable demands, and of course they know far more than i do about what i'm doing. Ho hum, bit grouchy today, i should be ok later...this computer is really slow to work with if i'm doing my colour stuff, thats annoying too, i think i'm going to lie down in a darkened room and meditate or snore...whatever happens first!

...Stitches out!


I'm much better now. I'm back drawing and painting, and feeling creative and inspired and everything! I've made 10 colour paintings, in a very sketchy style, i'm still not too convinced as to what i'm doing with them, but after a little more consideration i'll be a lot more ruthless. The pen sketches are not as grotty as i'd like to them to be either, so i have to work more on that too!

Health and safety...pah!


I've done it again! I've been exceedingly clumsy and damaged my drawing hand. I really must learn to use the other one in times like this, its becoming a regular occurrance and i'm becoming more frustrated. Its only 2 rather complicated stitches, but still... I've decided, my word for today is Ambidextrous... I should really take classes or get a book. Here's a couple of the colour portrait pics on the right somewhere, i'm going to try to make them much more detailed, but i'm liking the random-ness so far!

Slip, slap, slop...


Well, the painting is underway, and its looking alright i suppose...well, it changes every 10 minutes, but i've always been the same. I used to be like this after a haircut! I'd strop for half an hour then i'd find a way of making it look descent and then end up thinking things were pretty cool!! :)) Yes, i know its sad, but do you want me to smile ALL the time? Hee, hee. Back to the pics. I'm still doing the faces, but with the paint, and its a lot more uncontrolled/childlike, but i'm liking the effects. One will be displayed soon, but i want to finish another few, before they get looked at. I'm fussy like that.

Today is painting day...


I've got a few things to do yet, but i'm determined to make this evening the start of my painting stint for the month. I've got about 10 small canvases that i want to blitz, so when i'm happy with the results, i'll post one or two here. If i don't feel confident with them, i'll continue to work them until i'm satisfied...this could be really very messy! Its either that or the bonfire!

Happy Mothers Day...


Its March, a new month, new opportunities, a new start, better weather, a brighter outlook...New drawings! NOT! Only joking, of course. I've got loads of really creative, mindblowing ideas and avenues to investigate, but i'm also stuck! I'm definately going to start painting this month, maybe even this coming week, i've got ideas i want to try, i'll show you if they look ok. I want to start drawing other stuff, i'm fed up of faces and corners of rooms, small comic strips sound good, but i'm not very confident with em! Anyway, Happy Mothers Day all, not too many chocs now!
