Another tough day with issues to deal with and a lesson or two learned in my #Letter365 project. But I have got through in one piece and offer this Tidelines related work as my #arteachday piece on Twitter

Another dotty one for my #arteachdaypost. It has a certain calm serenity with a little prickle of vibrance and I have posted it because it is the exact opposite of my current state and the running of the last few days, which have been challenging to say the least.

A challenging day

I’ve had a difficult day. Busy and demanding for the most part and deteriorating to “challenging” to put it mildly. The biggest culpits were technology and the fact that four of my pieces at the framers in preparation for Dorset Art Weeks have got damaged – one at least irreparably and two other fair-size works I have doubts that they can be returned to their pristine state, So I wait anxiously till tomorrow. I had hoped to work on getting this and my other websites into better shape and uploading mor images, but my time has been eaten by woes!

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.
