Feeling very tired and achey of late...deflated and totally underwhelmed. Struggling along with the day job (boring me senseless). Despite the fact that i've loved my art since i was a child....i'm still looking for my 'thing'. I tamper in most things....but i feel i fail in whatever i create.

Today....i don't feel all that well.

A description of what i am today

Two new paintings

Two not so good new paintings.  The first one 'The darker side of me' was kind of a sub conscious painting.  The second....a little fantasy painting....i guess i felt a little brighter in the afternoon.

Work in progress

This was work in progress.  I'm struggling with the small area i have to work in.  On one side of my small room i have my art materials and desks and on the other side i have boxes and boxes of clothes, stuff i want but no long use...and general rubbish.  Putting it all in storage may be the way forward...then i can have the whole of the room to myself :)  

My Room

As any arty farty will know....a room full of goodies is like a sweetie shop!!  See above!

Sketchbook

I'm trying to keep a sketchbook, but like a diary it is something i always forget.  I bought a lovely little moleskine sketchbook and carried it around with me for a while....even in the bath....as above!

This was my second painting today.  Childish....very....but with pencil in hand this is what i came up with.  

A painting or drawing a day is what i intend to achieve from now on.  Even if a quick sketch/painting...i want to get my passion back!

This water colour painting entitled 'Emerald Pixie' was drawn and painted in less than an hour.  Now i know that speed is not the key....but what is in my head is...and if i don't get it down quickly....its gone!
