The disparate parts of today’s page are beginning to merge and sit comforatbly in each other’s company.
The only things we need now are the doodles
Light and Dark – Black and White – We Need To Doodle!!

a day in a page, part 3b
Sorry folks, unkind to leave you dangling.
Dangling?
Yes! Here – on the brink of painted catastrophe!
….daubing and splashing… still no idea where this is going now…. it’s just so busy, so freeform jazz, so focus-less.
Enough! cries IK. I need new and I need different! I need solid edges and flat color! I need Spots!
If only the page weren’t so darned soaking wet…..
…aided by dabbing with a scrap of dyed paper drying time elapses…. (time to type to you) …we wait
still not what you’d call dry, but enough to stick stickers, and a bit more paint…
Time for the papery things we made earlier. They want some more blending in… but that’ll be after some more drying time. Til then…. 😉

a day in a page, part 3
Here’s kinda where we left off earlier, the coffee has soaked in and the general consistency of the page is still damp and squodgy.
Time for paint! Inner Kid is impatient with all this waiting, drying, waiting, so we press on:
Paint and drippy ink. And more purple again!
More splatter! More messy!
More!!!
In a bid to tame the splattering we meditate a moment on the yellow ink and coffee-ness of tomorrow’s page. I love this a lot. Even if nothing else comes of this weekend, the ink + coffee thing is going to be replayed!
But it doesn’t do the trick, the splattering amps up…
…………………..can this page be saved??? It’s looking kinda out of control to me……………..

spaces
“Take care of the spaces, and the lines will take care of themselves”
from Practical knowledge for all by Sir John Hammerton c1950
On seeing with a pencil. Drawing is a means of education, of training hand and eye. It quickens the powers of perception and gives scope to the inventive faculties. It trains the eye to accuracy in observation, and the mind to attention, comparison, reflection and judgement

time marches forward
I was away for a couple of days, but the page a day project ticks along!
Friday’s page is here….
Being fascinated by mechanics, numbers and time, clocks are a constant source of interest to me.
Over the years I’ve often incorporated clock faces in art, and I thought it was about time I had one in this series 😉
I like the regularly spaced hour long segments, contrasting the unequally balanced chunks of time into which we split our days
An hour spent waiting in traffic is so much longer than an hour spent in the company of ppl we love. An hour of sleep is not the same size of time as an hour at work…
……………I’ll catch you up with the others in a bit 🙂

12 in 12 to August (ish)
The 12 colors in 12 months project is ticking along in the background… I add little bits and things when I have oddments of the month’s color to hand. So it builds up.
To re-cap here’s where we left off in June, through to the first layers of August

uncontaminated with thought
Sunday was a splattery day
As I paint and create I usually listen to the radio.
Sometimes a word or phrase leaks out of the radio through me onto the page.
This often gets covered up in layers of color and stuff
But the phrase ‘uncontaminated with thought’ struck me as poignant to this project
So each time it began to drown in ink and paper I kept it afloat above the layers
