Started the work day posting off a print ordered by a family who are keen on my tree pictures. Visitors today included Gilly Hopson a fellow Artisan from the beach huts. One customer bought some cards so maintaining no zero sales days so far, but so quiet it may well come soon. Work on window …
So the final day prompt is risk. I drew pictures of three activities I do which have an element of risk in them: – Lino cutting, with the risk to cutting fingers – sailing and the swinging boom which I have shown conclusively in my first two years seems very attracted to my head – …
So penultimate drawing for Inktober and the prompt was slither, I thought snakes and so did a number of other artists whose work I saw. I drew alongside two early art for fun participants today. Today in Swanage we had the second annual trick or treat run by businesses in the town – it was …
