32/365 16 x 20 inches... going crazy with this one! I don't normally use gels and pastes, so I suppose I label this an experiment! . #dailymarksanddrawings #abstractlandscapepainting #acryliclandscapepainting #acryliconboard #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2021

31/365 #dailymarksanddrawings First drawing, not exactly Picasso, but I really wanted to pick up my pencils again, so this is a Zoom doodle, and then I added fire and smoke with my Photodirector app. That was an extra dose of delight! . #dailypractice #dailyartpractice #dailyplay #creativeprocess #happyartistmovement #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #photodirectorapp #photodirector

30/365 THE END OF THE JETTY . Inspired by childhood holidays in Orford, Suffolk. We spent hours and hours catching crabs with meat scraps on a piece of string, lining them up to play schools... and then putting them back. . Textured paper and charcoal, kind of perfect. In "Texture for nothing and your posts for free"... and that song is going to be an earworm all day! . #dailymarksanddrawings #dailypractice #dailyplay #dailyartpractice #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2021 #happyartistmovement #fishinglife #suffolk

29/365 FORTITUDE That's not a word you hear very often anymore. When I was a child my favourite author was Violet Needham. In one of her books this was the password that the young hero needed to remember. It's not quite resilience, nor is it exactly determination, not even courage, Something like a combination of all of those. If you need it in your life right now then I gift it to you with this little collage. . #dailymarksanddrawings #dailypractice #dailyplay #dailyartpractice #mindfulmarkmaking #fortitude #artforsalebyartist #smallworksonpaper #mixedmediaonpaper #mixedmedia #collage #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2021
