The forecast was sunshine all day so careful sitting in the shade would be needed to avoid getting too much sun. I started the studio day drawing the view from our drive towards the field that lies in front of us, this will hopefully develop into an A3 pen and ink piece. I drew for …
Better weather today but so much quieter and hardly any walkers passing for most of the day. The sun came out consistently from 3 onwards. In the morning a family friend Suzanne dropped by and then two walkers, one from Australia and the other a DAW (Dorset Art Weeks) artist popped in. The day was …
A drier forecast but the steady breeze meant it never fully cleared up here. Some sun, but sea mist kept intervening. 26 visitors today so up to 228 total. A mix of walking family groups, friends and locals. Today saw some more activity at the art table and I decided it was too windy for …
The weather turned… my first visitors this morning were Becky and friend with their children who all produced artcards and enthusiastically tucked into the biscuits on offer. They came while the weather was windy but dry. Not long after they departed (but hopefully after they were back in the car) the weather moved in, misty …
Yesterday I apologise to my morning visitors whose artcards I failed to post as photographed on another device so let’s right that first. Olly who visited on Sunday wanted to set a pose for my drawing mannequin – proof that I haven’t changed it yet, nor has anyone else. So Tuesday, the bank holiday has …
So, after I posted yesterday one of my friends who visited posted about his visit on Facebook and I have thanked him already but felt very humbled to be honest. So a new day, the forecast overcast and maybe sunny spells but a stronger westerly breeze. The morning was very quiet until a family group …
A day of changeable weather and lots of friends. We started the day with cloudy overcast and a fresh breeze when Dave Furmage our Purbeck morning bike cycle mechanic dropped by for a coffee, chat and visit. Closely followed by two other couples we know and some that we don’t. The weather started to pick …
Today the art weeks started for real. Lots of visitors, many going past for walks and not even aware of the art weeks so introduced the idea to them. More framing this morning and after a few visitors remembered labelling and prices on work so made labels for all pieces so far. Visitors came from …
Yes, I slept well and got up later today. So what kept me busy today? At the start of the morning about 08.30 the pictures were on the floor of the studio. I put a sign out to say visitors were welcome but I was still preparing the studio. I also put out my original …
So restless night and couldn’t get back to sleep so got up to do a distraction activity, two hours later, seven mounts trimmed and seven prints framed. What a positive start to the day. Then it as breakfast and a new job, important with visitors coming…cut the grass. I did 3/4 this morning. So the …
