#100dayproject

A couple of years ago I did #ICAD (index card a day) for a year and those works were exhibited at The Village gallery in Eltham. I don’t want a year-long project but 100 days might be good. But what to do? So many things appeal…

My first love in art is colour. As a teenager I bought a lot of makeup but never really wore it. It must have driven Mum nuts. Later, I collected tapestry wool, patchwork fabrics and so on, but never creating much. In my mid-20s – between a BA and a PGDip in sociology – I did an art course through The Learning Connexion in Wellington.

And there, finally, was the answer. All that time I had been collecting colour. Paint, pastels, pens, crayons, inks; glorious colour. So that’s what my #100dayproject is going to focus on – colours and how they sit together, how they mix, how they layer.

I usually join #BlogJune to jumpstart my writing but don’t have it in me this year. A library friend has started a thread on Twitter where we’re posting an image a day for #BlogJune and can write as much or little as we want, so I’m combining the two things.
