Because I never learn, & continually let the kids in school borrow my art supplies, my collection has largely vanished or been sharpened/crushed into oblivion.

So I decided to treat myself, & these are staying at home, just for me, & I got them for half RRP & I am very excited!

Took me three Saturdays Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, but think this is now finished. Drawing from life (rather than a reference photo) was a new experience but very enjoyable! #art #drawing #Glasgow #Kelvingrove #pipeorgan

Lunch, sketching, and watching an organ recital Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. What a lovely afternoon!

No, #Evri , this is not a proof of delivery photo. And given my parcel was not delivered at all last night, I'm baffled as to why you've given me a very precise delivery time and a photo of what I suspect is a close up of the delivery driver's car mat.

Finished this tonight. Think the older child's proportions are slightly off, but think I'll call it an 'intentional stylistic decision,' and leave it there 🤣😁😇

Am tentatively venturing into #oilpainting . Inspired by
Scottish Ballet's #Cinders , here is the result of 2 hours sketching. No planning, no drawing it in pencil first. I'm trying to work on just having fun with art, rather than trying (& inevitably failing!) to be perfect.

Neville just stole a mini gingerbread man from me and I don't think he has any intention of returning it. His fluff is now stained with ginger. Sigh. #bunny #rabbit

When a spirit visits, they leave a trace...

This spooky season we have been celebrating #TheBlackFeathers by Rebecca Netley at Penguin HQ.

Tried copying a Millais oil painting in soft pastels. The details on the face were a bit of a nightmare given the condition of sticks that 200 children have been borrowing!

(I did this in half an hour before class in an old school jotter, so please don't judge too harshly 🤣)

Playing about with soft pastels this morning. Never used them before; it was fun but very messy!

Finished #TheRunningGrave last night. Was utterly gripped. The plot was intriguing, but what really made it unputdownable was J.K. Rowling's ability to write realistic characters that you actually care about. I was invested in their fates, & that's what creates the magic.

Bad Human™️ has offended the bunny management.

I always feel guilty about leaving him on his own, but today I went to dance class so wasn't home till 7. He's furious! He's got his back turned to me; every so often he grooms himself pointedly to ensure I realise I'm a failure.

Today, a miracle occurred in my classroom... in a primary school art lesson, every single child followed my instruction to write their name on their work. #teaching #schools #primary
