A galaxy in your eyes
Or underwater gaze
Blue and sublime
Comforting and caring
The volume of peace
Encompasses the world
Finds tiny thoughts
Trapped in your mind
A nonsense poem
But liberating
How can I answer?
Eye see you?

Don’t look at the sun!
A couple of days ago I was driving home and came round a bend to see a bright red sun on the horizon. For a second I stared at it then realised it was dangerous and looked away. But it was slightly too late. Now when I look I can see a slight bright patch where my eyes had wandered across the view. It’s faded a bit so I guess I haven’t done permanent damage but I will try not to do that again!
Scratcher art
I saw this again today and I really do like it. I might buy some scraper board to do my own creations. Then if I was to photograph the I could make original artwork to turn into cards and prints. I just wish I had more energy to do it.
Impish
Imp or Ogre
What would an Imp or ogre look like? Are they related species?
I decided to doodle an idea of what one would look like. They are both characters in the Mystery Play at Penkhull Play. They will be puppets I think, and we already have them made but they might need to change how they look.
I quite enjoy drawing characters and it’s a challenge to see what comes out. I’ve also drawn the two witches and a witches assistant to help me think how they should look.
Doodled character
Another doodled character from the Penkhull Mystery Play this year. The White Witch. I’ve done three so far. I don’t think the people will actually look like this but I enjoy the creative challenge.
Feeling catty
Just another cat doodle, this one is a finger drawing done on my Artrage app. And duplicated on incollage. I do love playing with these apps.
Cat in a hat
I always loved drawing cats in hats. I usually draw them in wizards hats. But this time I decided to drew something like a fascinator. It would be a close fitting felt hat with patterns and bits projecting up from it. I’ve played around in photodirector to give it a more textured feel.
Abstract ‘grain’
If all the bees were gone
There’d be no flowers
So no fruit, no vegetables
No more blossom.
We could still have wind blown pollen
So grain would be possible?
Maybe….
Not much choice
Porridge or bread?
Let’s save our bees
And pollinating insects
We need them.
Faced with glass
Imagine a woman. Dressed as a page boy ready to perform in a play, it could be in the past when women and girls were not allowed to act. Or it could be a recreation of a look design for a more modern TV programme. It could also be a science fiction design. The lines are my attempt to create a feeling of a stained glass window.
Digital sketching in Artrage
I don’t do many of these anymore. I find it harder to hold my phone when I’m sketching and drawing. My fingers cramp up round the phone and sometimes round a stylus if I’m drawing with one. Anyway got to keep my hand in as the saying goes. Ten minute digital drawing in my Artrage app.
