Drawing – ink on paper 152mm x 220mm
Today’s #arteachday post this morning was a little drawing in ink on paper collaged on to Khadi paper. Apart from my #Letter365 piece I havenot been able to work much today. I’m concentrating on preparations for Dorset Art weeks which is only 17 days away now. There’s lots to do and i will have to settle to the fact that a lot won’t get done. C’est la vie! I’m off up the studio now for a little bit of planning and prep work.
Still a bit dotty
Dotty experimants – MT masking tape in paper
My #arteachday post on Twitter was this experiment using masking tape. I was just testing out some making tape on various papers with my field drawings in mind and this spotty MT Washi tape my son gave me as a present started producing some interesting results so I started playing before reverting to the original ideas and purposes.

Today’s #arteachday post was this “field” drawing from a week or two ago that I have just today managed to get a fairly good photgraph of.

Today’s #arteachday piece to gather in the May-o is this little A5 drawing of ink on Somerset paper glued onto a stiffer watercolour paper. Goodness knows where the title came from. It originally had a quite different title but then I started to think about the word gap and its connection to gate and how gate is the Norwegian for road and that a gate was originally the gap, the gateway, rather than the thing that closes the gap and Maypoles and…
I changed the subject
Dinghy hull
Last night’s tweeting about decaying walls and woodwork continued but this morning I changed the subject to marine craft under repair and maintenance and posted this photo I took at West Bay in January

Decaying plywood structure
There are a group of us on Twitter who love the semi-abstract patterns of decaying structures and the like. My contribution was this image of the rotting interior from our old solar wax extractor.
I never stood a chance
Drawing experiment (detail)
Ink on handmade paper
A busy day today where it was clear form the start that I wouldn’t get much time in the studio to actuall create anything, but I did some important work selecting pieces and delivering them to the framers in preparation for Dorset Art Weeks. I also spent a long time at the opticians where I had an eye test (all healthy and only the tiniest of changes in one eye) and got my favorite specs fixed (I sat on them!). They also adjusted my other specs that I got elsewhere and advised me on lenses for some studio specs. Absolutely excellent service from the team at Robert Frith in Yeovil helping to keep a visual artists equipment in top condition!
The piece illustrated is my #arteachday piece, a detail of some drawing experiments on watercolour and printmaking paper that i was fiddling about with this evening.
Today the dots have it

If you have followed my #Collage365 project or seen any of my “Personal Reflections” photos, you will have seen that I have a bit of a thing about dots and circles. Well today they turned up in one of my abstract drawings.
I will aim to get some of my photos up on this site soon but here is one to give you the idea:
