Newdrawing and some obliterarty.

Tuesday:

Above is the drawing I completed last night, it took some time but I made it. I did start another involved small drawing which for once I haven't taken a pic of it half done so I will reveal in tomorrow's blog.

Today I did an art tour around town for one which was nice but not very profitable, I thought I would have 4 more but they didn't turn up, Oh well. It was a nice tour though and managed to show quite a lot of hidden St Ives gems.

This afternoon my wife did quite a lot of painting and then we went out around town for a while, popped in at The Sloop Craft Market to drop off a ceramic tile I had drawn on to Caroline Kelley-Forman. She had donated some ceramic tile to us at The Barnoon Workshop and I worked a tile to say thanks, below is the tile before it was baked and changed colour somewhat but it still looked really good and Caroline seemed very pleased and asked me sign it on the back.

After going to the Sloop we then went back through town and I did a small art drop and since then have been cooking dinner and doing some admin so below I am sharing a number of images from my last 'Obliterarty Volume 2 Whole Sketchbook'.

I am off to draw and complete a little biog about my art.

Cheers!

New drawings and stuff.

Above is a new drawing I did last evening and one I really enjoyed doing it too.

Above is another new drawing, I like the relaxed effect it has its imperfections that bring it some sort of life. Well that's what I think at this moment, it might change but I doubt it. We will see in the future, I am sure I will get in with a critique before the first anniversary of this blog, which is now just under two months away.

When I started this blog last February it was for many reasons, of course in a small way it was to make my art a little more visible but I also thought it would be such a good bit of discipline writing about what I do with my days whilst following my art and it's production and what the ends are. So I think that I have certainly accomplished that. I am sure it has helped me order my thoughts and I have gained a comfort in sharing them for all to read.

Above is another drawing I finished in yesterday's session. I must admit to liking this one a lot but hey I do like to varying degrees most of the work I have produced. I am not saying that it is one of my best but I don't know what is I just kind of get attached to them as I do them and like finding works I have not looked at for quite a period and normally I get to feel that again and sometimes I even like them a lot more than at the time of conception.

Today has been a bit of a slow holiday kind of day although I have come down with what is turning out to be a stinking cold but that hasn't stopped me/us from enjoying the day. It is the last one we get to spend with my wife's daughter until the summer, so we went for an afternoon walk out to Clodgy an the way we saw a beautiful Barn owl in flight not long after I took this pic below. I was too much in awe such good views of it that trying to take a phone pic would have ruined the moment and not done justice to this stunning bird.

Above a view of the Island with Godrevy and The North Cliffs fading into the distance, The sea was so still and flat today with a very silver quality that you don't often get.

While we were out walking I did a little art drop of these two that I still had in my pockets from the other day.

Above looking west towards the setting sun, the colours seemed to be standing right out which sadly you don't quite get on this pic but what a beautiful sight anyway.

Well as nearly every other evening I am off to draw and see what appears on the paper or whatever else I can find to draw on.

Cheers all!

Ceramic Wotnots, new drawing and work in progress.

Above is the drawing I finished in last nights drawing session, I will be working on the bleeding narrative version tonight. Sharpies, Uni-pin and gel pen.

Today, we had no workshops to do so myself and Zoe my wife went up to it anyway to do some art work. While Zoe seemed to be making headway with a couple of paintings I did nearly two hours on this, below is a close up and below below gives you an idea of how much more is to do until I am satisfied.

bit fuzzy 

After this mornings 'art' work we popped into town and picked up some pottery that we at last have fired so below are ten ceramic Wotnots that I did early this year that have finally been glaze fired.

I still think that these fall under my remit of 'contemporary abstract drawing'. I don't know what you think, do feel free to open a discussion on the topic with me if you wish.

I think they are very me after looking at the all again.
