Project LV One – Day 81 – No Oomph

20140707-Photo 07-07-2014 14 42 22-Small

No real oomph in my life today…really struggling to get things done.  That being said I did set up the new Apple TV puck – the image quality on the latest version is so much better than the previous – even though it doesn’t seem to want to say hello to my keyboard.

I’ve also just about finished the next volume of the LV One project which hopefully will be off to Blurb tomorrow – just under a fortnight until I have to start volume 3 – the joys of trying to make a book a month.

Still I have little life at the moment – perhaps tomorrow will be an improvement – let’s hope so.

Project LV One – Day 79 & 80 – It’s complicated

I’m not entirely sure where yesterday went but I missed it.  Most of the afternoon was spent painting and then it just got away from me.  Anyway today I walked around the new Cathedral Square at Leicester and I have to say it is a whole lot better than the old square which seemed to be the hang out of drunks and drugies.  Now the square has been redesigned and opened up thanks to a lot of money from Europe.  Of course it doesn’t help that possibly the most infamous/famous King in English history was found buried under a car park just across the road.  They new visitors centre is getting a final lick of paint and I suspect the whole thing will be ready in a week or so.   It will get another make over when the state funeral will take place of the of the resident of the car park in the Cathedral some time at the end of the year or perhaps next.  Strange how the world works.

Project LV One – Day 78 – Back to Brushes

Photo 10-07-2014 19 31 12-Edit

Trouble with making a painting is that it pulls you apart – well that is how I feel.   This was made using Brushes on the iPad and at one level I really like it – yet at another I find it very unsatisfactory as it just isn’t quite right – especially when you compare it to the painting that it is based on.  However, to correct the problems with this painting would have meant starting again or a major repaint and I have not got the energy for either.

Such are the joys of making art.

Second day of feeling under the weather – I’ve caught a bit of a viral infection – and I don’t feel like doing anything too much.  Boo Hoo for me.

Project LV One – Day 76 – Mr Humphries

20140709-IMG_2293-Edit

A day of feeling off colour was enlivened by the concluding epsiode of the Rebels of Oz series – I just had to make a little sketch of the great and wonderful Mr Barry Humphries .  I’m afraid he looks a Sir Les here

Project LV One – Day 74 – Tree Sketch

20140707-IMG_2291 - Tree - Gunby Hall

Not bad – only the second day in almost three months that I missed a post.  Today I’ve been to Gunby Hall in Lincolnshire and a little gem it was.   I even made a quick sketch of a tree in the courtyard – I really don’t know what came over me??
