"Standing back"(lithograph)
Yesterday I took two framed prints into Edinburgh and left them for submission to the Christmas exhibition. Maybe one will be selected, maybe not, but it was a great thing to do. I wrote an up to date biography and statement to accompany the images. I had time to resume work on a litho stone - adding tone to a line drawing.
I was glad to get home and rest a bit after a long period of work.
Wool scarves in processThis week I completed an order for the woollen scarves and today I sent it off. Today another order came in. I am going to be busy again. I still have the wall hangings to complete.
To celebrate the end of a long period of work I today renewed a lapsed subscription to The List magazine, so that I know better what is going on in the cities.
Today I was in Edinburgh again. I bought a new box of watercolours from the Greyfriars Art Shop in Dundas Street. It is always interesting walking down that street because of the all the galleries there. I hankered after a new i-Pod Shuffle in HMV, Princes Street. Mine got damaged several weeks ago when a water bottle in my bag leaked. But I resisted the temptation.
This weekend I am going for a retreat in nearby centre in the mountains. I hope to get time to do some drawing and painting - hence purchase of new paints - as well as improve my tai chi skills. It feels odd to be taking time out at this time of the year, but that is just how it worked out.
