It's 2am and I am not sleeping - I know I should be - with a energetic 2 yo that will be awake in only a couple of hours, but once my sleep is disturbed, I find it so hard to get back to sleep - then I will be ready to sleep, just as she is ready to get up - body clocks are such wierd things. I managed to get a little art done during the evening - these are the beginnings of a set of 3 (12 x 20") canvases. These look a little wierd at the moment, they are just 'shapes & tones' at the moment - mid process & are titled Faith, Hope & Charity. I am doing an online course at the moment & we are working with stick figures! Yep, you got it - stick figures! I thought they were leading to a 'face of the day', but not so far and it has been quite a few days since I have done one! Actually - they are 'masked off' spaces where the 'figure' is going to be - so I am hoping at the end they don't still look like stick figures! The strong red 'blobs' in the lower areas of the first one will be poppies (for remembrance) when fleshed out............ the patch of colours at the bottom of the tree in the middle one are autumn leaves & Charity has a mountain & what started out as a row of trees, but will probably end up as bushes behind her. (I was trying to convey love directed outward)
