My poor neglected blog. Fortunately, I have done a little painting in the last month – the results are below. I’ve been playing around a bit and am looking forward to more experimentation with dark outlines.




My drawing a day project is going reasonably well – another 31 days completed.
For June, I’ve decided on two rules:
- All of my drawings will consist of a few items selected from 21 still life props with the addition fresh produce I have on hand if I choose to add it. I’ve photographed all the props together to better illustrate how distant the resemblances in my drawings are to their real-life counterparts.
- Any medium goes – as much variety as possible – it’s about being experimental and knowing that some (or most?) of these drawings will be atrocious! This is my chance to play with all of those art supplies I was so enamoured with when I saw them in the store but I really have no idea how to use.

Lovely fruit.

enjoy the softness of the vases and love the wild background of pears in a storm.
Great concept – pears in a storm. Wish I’d thought of it. x

Thanks! It wasn’t planned, but I’m glad I gave them good strong outlines to withstand the wildness of that particular storm too – truly good luck for them. I would love to see what you might create with the concept of pears in a storm as a starting point – I have no doubt it would be pretty amazing!

Yes. I have no doubt your pears will withstand that storm. And ahh. You’ve thrown me a challenge. Might just have to take it up. x
