Pulled three ways
Abstract digital finger painting I have called ‘pulled’…
Tension twangs
Pulls me three ways
How can I help?
Who needs me more
Stress hold my hands
Pulls my heart out!
How to split
Yourself between
Three different problems
Three people stuck?
If I’m pulled one way
I’m lulled into
Security,
But then it comes again
Another pang of guilt.
So show me a way to help
Them..
But me too!
Three legs?
No, just the way he’s sitting! He is such a big cat and he looks so strong. He’s so big he can barely get through our car flap. He battered at the flap when I tried to shut him in at night and split the actual flap part into three. I bought a new cat flap. But because it’s a different shape and would need new holes drilling, I took the old bit out. Then I sanded bits off the new flap and managed to get the new bit fitted. The trouble is it’s very slightly smaller so it’s a bit drafty, and if this cat goes through it roughly he knocks the flap loose. But no – he is fully legged!
Two cats?
No, just playing with mirror images again. But she is cute. And two heads are better than one? She was lying in the sunshine on our bed, happy and purring. I tilted the camera to fit her in the photo, which is why her head is at an odd angle. She is small and beautiful. She has gorgeous green eyes, she loves being stroked and purrs loudly. She makes me happy! Sweet cat x
Cheddleton Station sketch
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was Station. Very quick sketch of Cheddleton Station from a photo. I used a picture as its probably not open to the public till Easter but we’ve been there and on the train several times.
Trees
Multiple image, one tree duplicated. Winter image, steely blue sky. The whiter areas could be teeth, the trees gums? The indentations from the chimneys are also tooth like. The trees could be capillaries or veins. Cold and icy. Lots of thoughts.
Trentham Rushes
Rushes on the edge of Trentham Lake. Black ink fine line pen in my sketchbook, then filtered in Photodirector.
The filter has modified the image. It has made it more homogenous, less natural, more stylized. The ripples seem more dynamic, the heads of the bullrushes are more like candle flames. The trees could also be on fire. I may colour the image in. I see red or orange as the flood fill choice. Like a fiery sunset. Greens for the rushes, blues and greens and orange for the water. Maybe….
Cat on bed
She’s sweet
She’s neat
She takes her seat
On the bed
Queen of all she surveys
So she stays
On the bed…
Purr and poddle
Life’s a doddle
On the bed..
Bring me food
My happy mood
On the BED!
Beat
I finally decided to draw something different to a whisk which was what other artists in the group had done. I’ve drew a bird beating its wings to take off in the garden. This is for Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt Beat.
Summer house doorway
May 2020. This is an urban sketch because its ouside drawn in real time. I’m pleased with some of the details I added, like our plastic garden chair with the cut out curves in the back. When I sat and drew our then outside cat sitting by the summerhouse door. I haven’t been in the summer house much since then. I guess things got to me a bit. I didn’t shake then… I need to start feeling like I can be less isolated. But because my balance isn’t as good I always feel like I might tumble over. My hubby is good at leaving things in the way and I’m rubbish at bending over to move them. How did I get like this? It’s easier to hide away in the house. I need to try and sort myself out, but just getting doctors appointments is difficult. Anyway enough feeling sorry for myself. X
