New paintings and regular art updates.
Faces drawn in a nice app I used to use a few years ago. But I had to delete it because I don’t have enough memory on my phone. Maybe when I finally upgrade it I will reinstall it. I think it was called sketcher app. I think I still have it on another device but that’s not linked to the Internet very well so I have to mess about trying to link things. Maybe I should get more organised. I quite like this.
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was pack. I’m not sure I got this right. It started with some squiggled lines then I worked on it in the sketch app on my phone. I should have added a card like the ace of hearts but I cannot get neat straight lines so I’ve abandoned it at this stage. X

You may not see as many blogs, but I’m still here, lurking! I’ve got a college project that I need to finish and other work to get done. Other things are also going on so life is a little stressful at the moment. I just had to get work done on my car too. Its a good car, but spare parts are hard to come by now because it’s so old. They just don’t make some of the parts anymore. But I will watch your posts and see what is happening. I’m still here!
Layers of ink, using three coloured pens held together. Then another layer with three more felt pans. By using different dark and light colours you get an effect that makes the paler colours recede. I wonder if I should fill in some of the gaps in bright colours. I might try doing that digitally….
I was asked to paint some script onto a wall several years ago ( the script was an edited version of the quote in the photo) I think it came out OK ( emulsion paint used). This was before my arm started shaking, when I still had a steady hand. I think I try and follow the words on the wall, some days more than others. X
Dear Russia. Do you know that your country has flattened and demolished several towns and cities in Ukraine?
That ten MILLION PEOPLE mostly women and children have fled Ukraine in fear of their lives? ABOUT A QUARTER OF UKRAINES POPULATION!
That children and babies have been maimed and killed?
That an art school where 400 people were sheltering was destroyed yesterday?
That Russia is boasting it is using hyper sonic weapons and other vile technology to bombard its way to victory.
Why? Would you be happy if your women and children were fleeing? Your grandmother’s and grandfather’s being attacked. Put yourself in Ukraines shoes.
Putin must stop.
Round the back of Westport Lake is a wilder area which is being looked after and tidied regularly so overhanging branches and growth is turned into little layered fences to improve the habitats. I thought it was being done by the local wildlife Trust but it turns out it’s being done by a couple of elderly volunteers, except its now down to one man as his friend has been ill. I had to thank him for all his hard work. It seems he’s not getting much support and that’s a shame. Anyway I thought I would say something.
Your paws are white,
Your nose is black
You like cheeks rubbing
You arch your back
You purr
You poddle your paws
Kneading my knees
You twitch your whiskers
Wash your face
You are my good friend
I love you.
I did this drawing four years ago, it just popped up on my Facebook memories. I can’t remember what app I used. I think I deleted it off my phone because it took up too much memory. I must have been thinking of pigeons or parrots? Anyway it was fun to draw.
