Day #324 Tube of paint

I noticed that I haven't painted any tubes of paint on this years painting, I have now. I looked for he most run out and crusty one, which turned out to be leaf green!

Day #323 Crab Shell

Being a cancerian I should probably have painted this crab shell in July, but I didn't, I painted it today. So there.

Day #322 Lithops

This little living stone or lithops is many years old yet is so slow growing it hasn't really multiplied yet. It flowered once, I think it was this one, hope it does it again I think it was yellow.

Day #321 French Fry

We had a Naughty takeaway treat for making it to the end of the week! So, of course, I have balanced one French fry on top of my 'pile'.

Day #320 Ham

This part of the painting is not for vegetarians.

Day #319 Iron Age Axe head

This was found in the trench of the foundations of a house in Gloucestershire in 1927, I found it Cheltenhams newly refurbished art gallery and museum when I should have been working. I have spent a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days helping to install the 'Open West' Exhibition. Opens Friday evening, see you there! 

(I would possibly have got more done if they didn't keep sending me to hang things in the 20th century painting room) there is a lovely David Bomberg, a dark and broody Graham Sutherland and (one of my tutors from art school) Anita Taylor hung next to a Stanley Spencer among others. Some great Dutch paintings too, I think I may have been a Dutch still life painter in my previous life....

Day #318 Coffee Beans

I had a rare, these days, cup of coffee at the newly reopened Cheltenham Museum and Art Gallery cafe.

Day #317 Tomato

We should collect the rest of our toms before  it gets too cold, autumn is coming, I love autumn!

Day #316 Superglue

What do you think I stuck this bottle of superglue to the wall with?

Day #315 Pen nib

I played 'stick your magnet in a box and see what comes out' today to choose the object and out came this pen nib!

Day #314 Charcoal Finger Print

I spent this afternoon going up and down on my scissor lift hanging our first year students big charcoal drawing up high. Subsequently I had very charcoaly fingers so, I have 'painted' one here for posterity. This is the closest to a day off I have had since I began 'Dan Young, Daily'!

Day #313 Food flag

Can anyone guess what I had for my dinner? It reads "ium pple"

Day #312 Rag

One my painting rags, clean. For now.

Day #311 Kangaroo Pin

I couldn't figure out what to paint tonight so I dipped my magnet into my box of objects and put came this! I may be corrected but I think this little kangaroo Pin came from Australia when Debbie's Dad went down under, is that right Derek?
