Day Sixty-six!

Not too much to say today, after work I did get the chance to finally meet some members from the Hull Artists Studio Connection, which is the group I just joined recently and will be participating in their open studios. Today was the first meeting that I was able to attend and as usual I felt kind of awkward but luckily people seemed pretty welcoming and I was not the only newbie in the crowd! A lot of exciting talk about open studios which will be happening in the months of July and August. More details to come. This image was a pleasure to work on and very stress free. I was telling my husband how I love that I automatically seem to work in series. For instance this is the third image in what I would consider a series. It seems as if the 66 days that have occurred so far have been a collections of mini series. Anyway, enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!

Day Sixty-Five!

Day 65, WAAAAHOOO only 300 more to go. Look at that for a milestone. The next major one will be day 100. Like yesterday I was just drawing with a pencil and graphite sticks and was really enjoying developing a completely abstract shape. Unlike yesterday I was in my house on a couch not enjoying the weather so much. It is awesome weather outside however extremely windy and wet which doesn’t make for good conditions to expose paper to. Another long day tomorrow. Hopefully, things will go as smooth as today! Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Day Sixty-Four!

I had a chance to sit at a park today and just sketch, it was progressing very slowly and thus never was really finished but this is it so far. I really enjoyed drawing away from my drawing table. Oddly enough even with the horrible rainy weather outside I found it more inspiring then the basement. Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Day Sixty!

Wow! Day sixty, big deal nearly to 65 and at that point there will only be 300 more to go…. I just don’t know. As of right now I have a wonderful stack of images I have created over the last two months and I can only imagine what could be in that pile in 305 more days. Imagine! Anyway, today was a bit of a different approach than the last two days. I honestly just didn’t have as much time but I wanted to just draw a shape using the rocks as my guide. Looking forward to tomorrows drawing. Enjoy!

Day Twenty-nine!

 

Today is a basic image kind of day. Started my drawing when I woke up because in all honesty if I didn’t do it then, then it wasn’t going to happen. I’m at the Source today and after work there will of course be drinks with my girls from up this way. That in itself  means nothing productive will happen after. Anyway, everyday is its own thing and all I ask from each day is to get into a drawing even if it is only for a short while. So enjoy and I apologize for the horrible photograph my iphone is malfunctioning. Silly thing! See you tomorrow!

Day Twenty-three

I can tell you that when I got home from work all I wanted to do was sleep, but I was super excited to see my sister and her family who arrived back from Florida today! We had been watching their two puppies so once they headed home tonight we were down to four dogs, that’s nothing once you have had six puppies! Anyway I worked from 10 to 8 today and started drawing around 9:30… I needed to finish something rather quickly mainly because I am meeting a friend at 6:45 in the morning to go to the gym and let’s be honest who REALLY wants to wake up at like 5:45am to get out of the house in time to go to the gym. I honestly am excited to get my workout in early but the sooner I head to bed the better. As for drawing, I was delighted to have worked on something today. I also filled out my application for Open Studios, which is always a good time. Now to get some of my finished works framed! EXCITING! Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow!

DAY TWENTY ONE!

Lets be honest it is Saturday night and after dinner and drinks I wasn’t feeling the whole drawing thing but look I sat down and did a little something, which is more fun then artistic. I think I literally grabbed every colored pen I could see and just started drawing. Who knows I’m sure that tomorrow, Sunday fun day will be better. See you tomorrow.

DAY TWENTY!

 

feels like a milestone today! Funny how since I started this challenge every day seems like a milestone for its own particular reason whether it be the  actual numerical day or because I am shocked that I actually got something posted! Regardless, I am happy with what I have been doing. Today’s post is coming a bit late but better late than never. I spent the day working, then a wonderful 3.5 mile walk/talk with a very good friend followed by some cooking, Shepard’s Pie to be precise, a big hit in the Fogarty household! Anyway, today’s image was a layering process for me I started with one base shape and kept building from there. What it did make me realize is that I think I want to try this concept in color so watercolor here I come… Could tomorrow bare color, the world may never know…. until DAY TWENTY ONE!

Day Eighteen!

Well, it is fun to look at the image and then remember it came from day sixteen. I’m not sure what my final thoughts of the image are but it was very enjoyable to destroy the prior image. Maybe I shouldn’t call it destroying but it felt that way. This exercise has always been a big hit with me, I have an obbsession with changing things I don’t like and normally it is drastic. Maybe I’ll cut the next image up into tiny bits who knows. I’m very happy to have had fun while working on this since I was kind of wrecked after working all day at the salon. Tomorrow will be interesting, I’m working for 12 hours,from 8:30 to 8:30, and I need to try and fit something artistic in there! Well good luck to that! I’ll see you tomorrow!

Day Seventeen

So I thought today was going to be a brilliantly productive day but it ended up being quite the opposite. It was gorgeous here and after I worked out and did my errands I ended up meeting a friend at the beach. Now I had a wonderfully amazing day with a friend I had not seen in months, but I was far from creative unless you count building a sand castle with an awesome 3-year-old. That kind counts it was like a sculpture which was then destroyed by that same small 3-year-old feet!  Once I finally sat down to draw I was kinda out of it, funny how sitting on a beach in the sun can actually feel draining. I usually get mad at people when they say things like that but here I am saying the exact same thing. Anyway, I did my drawing and I like how there is like one shape that was being continuously built off of, but that’s it for today folks. Tomorrow is a new day. See you tomorrow!
