Happy Solstice to you all!
A time to let go of what limits you in your life’s progress, of what is now done with of what you no longer need, all in order to make space for the new.
I finally had time today to spend on art for pure pleasure for myself. Much of my art of late has been for publishers as wll s in my art journal. Doing this work is really enjoyable, but it has to fit a brief, whereas the work above just flowed from my pen without any thought or form to begin with.
I’ve been busy with art. This is just one thing finished recently. It’s a little less than A4 in diameter.
I’ve been a little busy with some monograms. They’re either 7.5cm x 12cm or 10cm x 10cm in size. The rectangular ones are on watercolour paper, the square on bristol board.
Approx. 13cm x13cm (5″ x 5″)
Rotring Rapidograph pens with black ink on white cartridge paper and several hours of time…
Approx. 9cm x 14cm (3.5″ x 5.25″)

The last several days have been ‘faffy’ days where I’ve just been faffing around with art and reading and not much else.
The weather has mostly been very wet – torrential rain, high winds at time. Perfect weather for battening down the hatches and losing oneself in art and craft and reading.
For some reason the drawing pens have come out again, and I find myself lost in the fiddly fussy work that I do, enjoying it too. It also has shown me how I struggle with colour, unless the colour is purely abstract in itself.
It also allows me an escape from the sting of rejection, the loss of a dream that never ever was, and a chance to let my unconscious mind, my soul, my spirit to start the process of healing and working the way to the person I am meant to be, choose to be, want to be, with a life I’d like. A life that includes people in it – friends, a found family, and love too.
Art is the Adventure
