#357 Diva

Happy Diwali! I came home to discover that Debbie has made this lovely little Diva made from the clay found under the top soil in our garden! Genius. Here it is reflected in our window.

#356 Priming Brush

I delivered my, much anticipated, priming workshop with our first years today on the good ship 'Fine Art' in the University of Gloucestershire 'fleet'. For extra points they even washed all the brushes! Are you listening all you other ex students of mine!

#355 Snowflake

I've been playing with the laser cutter at work today, it has made my eyes go a bit funny. This is very festive though eh?

#354 Picture Hook

I have been rehanging the staircase today, a bit of a busmans holiday holiday, so I have seen and moved a few of these little fellows. It is also a candidate for the first object in next years painting... Only 13 days to go!

#353 Pestle and Mortar

One my favourite studio objects.

#352 Printing Block

One day I will find a 'D' and my collection will be complete!

#351 Teabag

Drawing this has really made me want a cup of tea. I rarely have one this late in the day (19:00) but I might just partake.

#350 Plunger

Uh oh.

#349 Binbag

What do you think of this one? That's right it's rubbish.

#348 Toffee Apple

Never let it be said that I'm not topical on this blog.

#347 Palette

I'm really starting to get a bit excited about next years daily painting. With that in mind here is my (badly maintained) painting palette.

#346 Firework

A bit damp tonight but there are a few plucky souls setting of fireworks.

#345 Brushroll

A bit of a plug for my new blog today, please head over to 'The Brushroll' where I will be writing blog posts about paint, painting and paintings. And here is my brushroll featuring my fan brush. Which is so nice I haven't used it yet.

#344 Cupcakes

I made a classic batch of cupcakes this morning. I like the recipe, put all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk for two minutes. Put in the cases and bake for 20 mins.
