Joy Crashed In

Got the sheets washed, duvets clean and aired, ready for spring to make its mind up and stay.
Or summer.
Whatever.

The last few days have been pain days, but I’ve still managed a lot more than I thought I would.
Watched lessons and zoom calls.
Maybe even understood most of them! 😆
I keep the laptop off on Sundays (except, very rarely, if there’s a deadline I need to meet), so I try to catch up by Saturday night.
Rest (and recharge) time tomorrow – yay!

I have refreshed my memory of beauty encountered on our getaway last weekend…

Fresh flowers by the bed 🙂

This giant on the patio!

A wealth of patterns, and textures, and shadows…

My studies have shown me interesting things.

…like the building blocks of creativity.

And I’ve been listening to music, to let the joy in…

I’ve had the lyric video for this on the blog already, but here’s the people version…
Rainbows and sunflowers!
(Of course, in my head, I will always hear Kermit ❤ )

This one came out of left field, but it’s something to think about.

May joy be unconfined!

Of Skulls And Sketching Places

Feels like this week has gone fast 🙂
Morning has decided it’s committed to winter, but the rest of the day hasn’t quite made its mind up…
Still keeping up (I think) with my lessons.
One of the assignments was to “draw an animal skull”.
Coles doesn’t stock those…

I was starting to worry that I might have to start hunting (or at least keep my eye out for roadkill!), but we found a friend who had a spare skull (sheep? goat?) I could borrow.
You never know what you’ll find in an artist’s shed.

Only got around to it yesterday – the bigger assignments can take hours rather than minutes. I also decided to use charcoal, a medium I probably haven’t touched for years.

Probably not my best work, but it’s going in as the final image.
It was more enjoyable than some of my other assignments (one was just…a very large rectangle. It was for practising measurement).
And my art/sun room is slowly getting arranged into a more useful configuration.

It’s been a good week.
Even my roses had a last hurrah for the summer.
