9 Moons Ago

Well, despite the wet day, I got a walk in. And accomplished a few chores, although I’ve yet to finish unpacking my suitcases..but never fear..I will! Cameron keeps urging me to do so anyway, so he can sweep the bedroom floor. Saturdays are our clean up house day, so I’m keeping him from his duties!
I’ve been kind of up and down, still adjusting to the time here and a new atmosphere, but overall it’s been good. Went to the movies to see Wallace and Gromit. And had a good time and a bit of champagne & Turkish bread with beetroot dip at Adrian’s photo exhibition. He had a great display of stuff..very inspiring.
I’ve been walking just about every day and doing morning pages too. I’m about to start up the Artists Way again, so that should get my creativity going.
Yet, there are some more drawings to post today:

The wonky dog drawings

Some more of the chair series.

And, for my poetry fans, another poem, written in honour of the day:

This Spring Rain

The lush green leaves
are drenched in water
washed with water
shine with water

The bendy gum trees
drip with water
soak in water
drink up water

The eaves of the house
pour off water
tap with water
gleam with water

This rain
This roaring Spring rain
Rages with water
Teams with water
Sings of water

Water swelling
Water rushing
Water swirling

Water blessing

Hope your day is sunny, light and warm, no matter what the weather!

Here are three chairs to add to my series of chairs, started way back when. I’m setting a goal of (at least) 30 chairs total, so I’m more than halfway there. Then I’ll make up a little book to contain them all.

See the rest of the chairs in the November 2004 archive.

Heres my contribution to Illustration Friday. Vintage Undies! Normally, I never copy other illustrations, but this is my take on a vintage fashion illustration. Its got a bit of a different character than the original anyway:

And here are my 2 chairs. I decided not to try and make the rest of the chairs look like prints, but let them develop as they see fit!:

O.K. Off to bed!
See ya later!!

This has a French thing goin on, I think:

Cameron and I loved the way this looked before I cut down the page, so I left it as the whole piece!:

This is a “take it or leave it” one for me:

Played with this in photoshop just a leetle beet… cause it’s a little hard to read the coppery paint on the green background. But I kinda like that. The light green was the first print, then I did a coppery one over it..photoshop filter was ..uhh..I totally forget:

Haven’t been sending out emails yet..I figure I’ll do it once in a while and not every time I post. (Due for one soon) So, if you’ve happened to drop in, but haven’t gotten email in a while, don’t think I’ve forgotten you.
Take care.. more fun and some writing next time!!
