A Full Week of Drawing as it Turns Out...

I woke up this morning in a mild panic

that I had to balance the normal Sunday morning 

which is best described as haphazard

and that is on a good day

with getting a drawing complete and a post done

 for Sunday Sketches

hosted by the courageous and always inspiring Alex.

I love Sunday Sketches and

I did have a mild freak out at my lack of finished product

which has not been helped 

by being gassed by Sinus and his deodorant

which always gives me a bit of a head spin.

His bathroom is next to my studio and that stuff is strong

and yes he has his own bathroom

which is the secret to a happy 20 years marriage

in my opinion

except for the deodorant gassing that is

everything has one down side...

Once the gas settled and my head cleared of the manly scent

I realised that I had  had a very full week of drawing

starting with drawing up six canvases last weekend

four of which are now painted and down at The Collective Store

I also got heaps of outlines done for my zine

I like to work in a frenzy once I have a clear idea of what I want it to look like

and I have drawn and discarded pages for the last few weeks

but after being inspired by some pages that the lovely Fran over at Wethree

sent to me from her upcoming zine

I started afresh and actually have a clear idea of where I am going 

and managed to get eight pages planned and outlines drawn

and I am excited to get working on them

so this week is going to be filled with lots of line drawing

which will be therapeutic 

after the painting marathon of the last week

I also managed to draw up some sunflowers on a card 

that I want to paint in for a card for a friend out in the bloggy world

as a thank you for just being her

so all in all I am thinking I have had a great week of drawing

and looking at all this it is no wonder

the floors are unwashed

the ironing pile is looking like it could bury a small child

or unsuspecting dog

the kitchen vaguely resembles a bomb zone

and the fridge is bare of all but inevitable manky lettuce,

three types of mustard and five million jars of jam

So the time has come to leave the studio

and venture back into family life

and domestic duties

or maybe I could just squeeze in a little drawing first...xx

PS here are some pages out of Phantom Steve's sketchbook

can you believe how wasted this child is on a Maths Science load

it is criminal that she doesn't do art isn't it ...
