I’ve had a blog on Blogger.com for years but I’ve had enough. I feel totally uninspired, Google are not supporting it anymore. I can’t even publish my art via the Blogger app on the iPhone.
So this is the day I move and I hope that I will get inspired again and blog more often. I’d love to post everyday, maybe I will. Let’s see if I do!

Lunchtime watercolour

I am trying to paint everyday,  it doesn’t matter how good it is – the most important thing is just to do it. I’ve noticed that it takes days to get to that desired unconscious painting state if one has had a break for a week or more. A painting a day keeps mediocrity away! 🙂

Back to lunchtime sketching

I am back at work after my two artist weeks. Trying to get back into my watercolours. I had an in forced break because of my exhibition which was a success I thought. I’ve ticked that box so now I can move on and find new challenges.

Saturday’s life drawing.

Venue: Basis, Stockholm 20160409

It was a different model, not as dynamic as the week before or maybe it was just me, who knows. It was most probably just me.

Cheap palette

This is the last time I buy a cheap palette to hold my expensive watercolours. It lasted a year,  it was the palette I used at work for my lunchtime watercolours. Live and learn 🙂
