with a torn ligament in my ankle. Two days off work with my foot up and I am bored as can be.
I have spent quite a bit of time on the Internet, fixing up things, shifting things – you know, sorting…
Anyway, managed to finish this work. Another in the new 10×10 series of abstracted local landscapes. For sale at Etsy and on my website http://www.cathsheard.com/
A bit thanks to fellow artist Sandra T who emailed me today to check if I was okay. She was worried about me not blogging. Check out Sandra’s work at http://www.dreamswork.blogspot.com
What I do know is that when I stop creating something changes in me – slowly I get more tired, more worn down by the day to day stuff of my life. I need to be creating something, almost anything.
So today I got back into it. It’s a piece I have done before, and will no doubt do again. Using up old watercolours, playing with the composition, messing round with glitter glue. All good fun 🙂
A couple of posts this week have feature photos taken in Auckland while on a course with Sue, a fellow librarian where I work. Our rooms were reasonably high up, and looked out onto a huge, square central courtyard. Stunning views…
On the morning we left I decided to get some photos of the wall of windows opposite, across the courtyard, because I though they’d make a good starting point for a painting. I’ve got a nice camera with quite a big zoom lens. I get it all sorted, open the net curtains and point it at the wall of windows across the courtyard from me.
OMG There’s a businessman getting dressed (as in, he’s — well — undressed), my camera’s pointing right at him, and he’s looking our way. Eeek!!! I hurriedly pull the curtains…
I give him a few minutes, and figure he’d have been as embarrassed as us – so he’s either moved to another room or has got dressed. Right???
I pick up the camera, open the curtains, point it at the far wall and – yep, you guessed it. Still there, still not dressed…I decided to skip the photo op before we both got arrested! LOL
