New paintings and regular art updates.
Urban sketchers Stoke-on-Trent challenge today, Light. I had got some new permanent markers so decided to do something colourful. I did use a fine liner pen and a 6b pencil. Also used an almost dried up pale blue felt pen to add some shading to the window frame. The standard lamp has a lampshade covered in sequins. (speckles on the drawing). There will be another challenge in a couple of days. I wonder what it will be….
Today’s challenge was ‘Entertainment’,
I could have drawn the TV or a computer or phone screen, but I just love the way the cat stares out of the window at the birds, he can’t go out, so he likes watching them. Yesterday a couple of pigeons were perched in the cherry tree. Sometimes when he’s washing he’s really comical because he sits on top of our bird food box, he only just fits. The windowledge is too full of houseplants. He likes eating some of them. This is his spot, he entertains me.

Draw something cheerful?
The challenger challenged,
so I coloured in a Robin
as something to do.
Red of breast, brown of back
white underbelly,
bright eyed beauty,
feathers fluffed up,
keeping warm on the page,
a ruffled bird
singer of songs,
find your nest,
for spring will come.
