The epic studio clean up of earlier in the week
led to me rediscovering all sorts of parts of my studio that were interesting
and inspired me to get in and sketch some
I had grand plans of doing a really detailed sketch
but that got lost in a haze of tea, chocolate, gossip magazines and crap tv
which is great for the soul occasionally
there is something so therapeutic about seeing stars without makeup,
hurling snorts and scorn at reality tv
and complete wonder at the sheer magnificence of the Great British Bake Off
but it does take up sketching time
I felt totally justified in having that trashy lazy afternoon
because I had documented evidence that the studio had been cleaned and sorted
and it appears from lots of comments for a Tuesday post
that plenty of you like having a good old sticky beak at other people's studios
I know I stalk those studio boards on Pinterest like a mad woman
but it got me thinking what other things I would like to have a sneaky sticky beak at
Scarily I couldn't really think of anything exciting
Ok studios... any studio
that goes without saying
but my lack of curiosity pulled me up short
Of course I would love to set up a nanny cam and see what the mutt gets up to while we are out
especially as when we get home he either looks like he has been dragged through a swamp backwards or he is very sheepish and can't look us in the eye
and I would also love to take him in the car when we go through a car wash just once
it would completely do his head in I think
but those sort of things are a given
I have to be curious about more than mutt antics though
after all how can a brain that shares a scary resemblance to a hoarder's front room
not spit out more interesting things to sticky beak at
so I am going to contemplate it while I get into some more perfume bottle paintings
plus I am also attempting to write up a post for Tuesday about how I drew my pen container
in the photo below
which I am hoping will be more interesting than it sounds written here...
Happy painting all... xx
