Choir sketch

Posted on Posted in Memories, Sketching, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

I was at the village hall finding out about what groups were doing there (woodcarving, yoga, slimming world, writers group, theatre, and more) when a flash mob of choir members came in singing the Spice girls song “if you want to be my lover” in a really choral way. All their voices were beautifully integrated. They were called ” In Harmony” and really were.

As they sang I sketched them, I did a biro drawing in my notebook. I could only draw their backs because of where I was sitting. I showed them the drawing  and they were very pleased. I’m so glad I have this talent.

More work

I decided to try and improve this painting because it was too reflective and the metallic copper sheet it was painted on was showing through too much. I seem to have worked reasonably well but it took effort to get the acrylic paint to stick onto the surface, but that was the problem on the original picture. Acrylic on a metallic surface.

Not an image of me but a finger painting of the side of a face. I used both Artrage and Sketchbook apps to do this. It’s a while since I drew something in one app and completed it in the second one. If I like I might use another app to do some more work to it. It’s definitely a finger painting, no stylus used.

Let me draw again

Give me inspiration

Let me take charge of my dreams

Create new images

Restore my life

Secure my vision.

Help me to be free

And end fear.

Dazzle myself as well as others.

Imagine anew what I drew before

(this digital drawing is eight years old and was drawn in Artrage, I wish I could remember how I did it,)

Quick sketch, crafty group, I wasn’t well so just did this. Pencil on cartridge paper. I think I still have my skill in drawing but Parkinsons makes it harder. I still hope to get better medication and reduce the dopamine breaking down in my brain. I love art and hate the way this disease is making me “stick”, or  shaking uncontrollably.

I’m trying hard to keep going, I do not enjoy how things are. But I realise my life is a lot better than some peoples lives. I’m lucky to live in a country with a universal health service. My eternal gratitude goes to the NHS., without which I would be stuffed!
