Feeling super!!

It's pretty rank outside, been raining ever since I got up this morning, but it's my doodle day today, plus it's Friday so I'm actually feeling great. Can't wait to get experimenting!!

It's a blank!!!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I have days were nothing comes to mind. I can sit surrounded by the most amazing research from all over the world, and nothing! I stare vacantly at the computer wishing for some divine inspiration and it just doesn't materialize. So after some thought, I have decided to take a day a week, preferably a Friday, (so as to ease myself into the weekend)and begin a sort of journal. I say sort of journal, but it will really be a collection of individual pages, as like most artists, if I make a mistake the thought of ruining a gorgeous book is just not on, so at least this way, I have control... (and yes! I am a bit of a control freak were my artwork is concerned).

Not the most inspirational thing, I hear you cry, but for someone who has never created an arty book of thoughts,(DAH!), feelings, (HMMM!)techniques and general experimentation,(OH! AH!) it's quite a big thing.I generally work straight onto the computer or start with a very simple sketch which I scan in.... There is no real record of my thought process.... ( Maybe I don't think??) HE! HE!

So stay tuned for my therapeutic journey back to creativity.....

Day 1.... Blank white page!!! Scary!!!

So I just doodle.... (Yes, I know it's not Friday, but I felt like doodling, and someone, somewhere, said "A little of what you fancy does you good")

Funny Suddenly I feel inspired....

  

Have an ice-cream!

Been away for several weeks, and getting caught up slowly. It is so very hot and sunny here at the moment, I really fancy an ice-cream....

I spy....

Had a bit of spare time to do a little snooping, and spotted these two front covers I designed for Creative Teaching Press some time ago.

Watery start....

Ever wondered why Ireland is so green? .... because of the enormous amount of rain that we get here. The odd time it does make me feel blue, but on the whole I don't mind it, I still get out and about. It rained this morning, and now the sun is doing it's best to squeeze through patches of blue.....

A night out!

Tonight is the start of the Graduation Shows of the University that I went to. Really looking forward to seeing all the wonderful new crop of artists. 

Little home for birds....

Recently been in Georgia, (USA), and we went to Warm Springs.
Saw this cute little bird house......
