Quiet so some art for my fun

Standing / sitting in your own shop waiting for the customers that never come can be soul destroying although I know I have had a December sales total comparable to 2019 in the shop.

So some Art for fun time. First outfit – Artisans on the beach boiler suit the first one I drew during that event in December 2018 plus pith helmet of course.

Well dressed hand drawn artist

I sold Christmas cards today and happy to now have exceeded 4100 greeting card sales.

So what should I draw? An art postcard? Another wooden box? A picture at A4 or A3 size? Or a hat?

Vague shape started

It is a pith helmet, they are associated with hot areas so today’s theme was a Jungle hat. I didn’t draw any paper plan and have just added to it through the day as I felt for the next stage. Is there a definite plan? No. Is it proving fun? Yes

Stages of hat

Vague explorer figurine in pith helmet, shorts and boots
Add more evergreen plants
Some leaf colour and a track around brim with some puddles and snakes
A couple of friends early on suggested celebrities linked to a programme I don’t watch so a sign to ensure celebrity free area
You can go to the jungle or the jungle
Trees, shrubs, bamboo,track, snakes, puddles, stone based signals
Tiger amongst the shrubbery.

There has been progress since last photos and I will share this tomorrow. Closed shop early as hadn’t seen any visitors or customers for 4 hours, just friends dropping by including fellow shopkeepers.
