I had great plans of having a productive day yesterday
but it kinda didn't happen that way.
I have a new routine (which is set to change again!)
It goes like this:
5.45 am Alarm wakes me...I hit snooze.
5.50 am Alarm wakes me again...I hit snooze. Again.
5.50 am alarm gets me up. Coffee!!
6-7 am Paper Runs but tomorrow is my last day..yay!
7 am More coffee..and walk the dog.
7.30 am Wake Cam for school.
Have breakfast with him.
Make his lunch while he's showering etc.
8.20-8.30 am drive Cam to school
9 am Do dishes, put laundry on
Put rabbit/guineas out in run
Feed/water birds/cat etc
Water garden
Dry dishes
Hang clothes out
Vacuum house
Check emails
10.30 am SIT DOWN TO DO ART
My Dad arrives for a visit...
His youngest sister has passed away
My Auntie Margaret *sniff*
We talk...and reminisce
No art until he goes
Very happy with how this turned out.
Love the colour combo
The Colour Pink
Brighter
pinks are youthful, fun, and exciting, while vibrant pinks have the
same high energy as red; they are sensual and passionate without being
too aggressive. Toning down the passion of red with the purity of white
results in the softer pinks that are associated with
romance
and the blush of a young woman's cheeks. It's not surprising that when
giving or receiving flowers, pink blossoms are a favorite. Pink is the
color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted. For women who
are often overworked and overburdened, an attraction to pink may speak
of a desire for the more carefree days of childhood.
How the color pink affects us physically
- Bright pinks, like the color red, stimulate energy and can increase
the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate. They also
encourage action and confidence.
- Pink has been used in prison holding cells to effectively reduce erratic behavior.
Blue
is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy,
dependable and committed. The color of sky and the ocean, blue is
perceived as a constant in our lives.
As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the
body to produce chemicals that are calming; however not all blues are
serene and sedate. Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and
dramatic, an engaging color that expresses exhilaration.
Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring.
Blue is the least "gender specific" color, having equal appeal to both
men and women.
How the color blue affects us physically and mentally
* Calming and sedate
* Cooling
* Aids intuition

I came across a book in my bookcase
I've had for years. I think I brought
it before the kids were born, with the
intentions of learning to paint and draw
Flipping through the pages
inspired me to try a bit of drawing
now I was " warmed up" with the art
journalling over the past few days
So I got a cucumber
photographed it as I had
trouble "seeing" the tones
Grayscale Cuke...
My humble attempt at drawing.
Needs a bit more texture
but not sure how to go
about it...
While looking into space,
and thinking..
My eye saw these pieces of fruit.
Half pieces. And a whole...
I think I could draw these.
And like them. Maybe.
So that's my plan for tomorrow
Time: 3 hours (Thursday 7 Feb)
