Saturday, 28 September 2013. Acrylics on paper, 43x59cm. Wednesday, 25 September 2013. 65279; Apartment verandah faces west and a great place to have ones aperitif (local pate on chunks of freshly baked baguet, big fat olives, and a cheeky little rioja blanco) looking up over Gotmar Hill with great billowing cumulus clouds banking up, perhaps bringing some overnight rain? Mixed media in sketchpad, A4. I couldn't find my Carmine Red Neocolour or I would have included that one too! Cala San Vicente, Not!

Becoming not being……. Why homeopathy and what is it anyway? I work at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital. Don’t bother. No such index items! I happened upon a course in “ Homeopathy. 8221; at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital back in 1983 – didn’t know there was such a hospital and had no idea what “homeopathy” was anyway, but something about the ad caught my attention – wish I could remember what it was! 8211; I think it was something that mentioned “healing”! So what do I do there? What’s this homeopathy? Dr Samu...

Sunday, 15 May 2011. I go away for a week and get lost for another fortnight! Such is life. The problem is, even when you are working like a dervish, the minute you take a break the whole impetus collapses and you find a million other things needing done before you can bring your mind back to heel and restart work again. Well it is for me.. On occassion I got to sit basking in the warm sunshine and observe nature going about it's business, in this case a bit of lovey-dovey:. Ink in Sketchbook, A6. After...

daviddrawsandpaints: January 2013
http://daviddrawsandpaints.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 January 2013. Every day that I go out into my studio I start with what I call a "Subconscious Musing". This gets me going. The brush is wet, the arm is moving, marks appear. It relies purely on how I feel at that moment with judgement suspended on what it might turn out like:. Subconscious Musing: Mixed media on sugar paper, 59x86cm.. Occassionally some suggested structure presents itself and I see meaningful images that please me. I am contented and so the day's real work can begin. Mammy...

http://daviddrawsandpaints.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 October 2011. Over the Sea to Skye. This blog is in grave danger of becoming inert and as unchanging as my socks, stuck in aspic you might say, and in need of a bloody great shove to overcome the inertia that has become as negligently pervasive as the space between my ears. So in order to counteract that freefall I offer these small delights to keep y’all from pining and nodding off:. Heartland", a husband and wife duo in the Isles Bar, pencil on paper, A5. Kate on the Fiddle" pencil on pape...

http://daviddrawsandpaints.blogspot.com/2013/06/kildonan.html
Saturday, 1 June 2013. Final three sketches from my sojourn on Arran in April:. Tigh-na-creag, Kildonan", mixed media in sketchbook, 2x19x25cm. Pladda and Ailsa Craig from Kildonan", mixed media in sketchbook, 2x19x25cm. Pine Switchback", mixed media in sketchbook, 2x19x25cm. It may have been extremely cold that week but with clear blue skies every day and new subjects (and some old ones) making themselves known to me I came home very satisfied indeed. Until the next time. Pine switchbacks- awesome work.
