Feather, flower, whatever

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is a_________.
Today's tip: You don't have to interpret your work for people. They can make up their own minds. If it needs a label to make any sense at all, you failed to communicate anything with the actual artwork. I realise that I just threw the whole school of conceptual art out with that comment, I don't care, you can tell them where I live, I'm ready!
 (In conceptual art the concept is so much more important than the art that the art can even be made by some else and often is, most of it cannot be understood at all without the labels. Most of the Turner Prize stuff is conceptual art.).

Flower on blue and why draw?

I'm creating a drawing a day, and the #drawingadayclub to share some beauty and tolerance, to intersperse the mundane and frightening content that makes up so much of our social media.

I'm creating a drawing a day to inspire other artists to return to art, share more art, or just work for pleasure in secret because I reminded them they love it - whatever their art form.

I'm creating a drawing a day, to grow as myself and set a good example to my children of creativity, purpose and persistence.

I'm creating a drawing a day to bring diverse people together over their love of art, people who never would have connected, who comment, join in, and in turn help one another.

I'm creating a drawing a day because people message me to say it helps them.

Europe in a camper van and I'm 40 today!

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it.
Today is my birthday and I'm 40, I chose to draw what I hope will be one of the next big adventures, I can of course photograph and draw from all I see, I hope to design wonderful textiles inspired by the culture and colour of so many new places, wish me the courage and organisation to really do it!

You can see textile design here:

I want to visit this street, somewhere in Spain!

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is a street in Spain - I got very interested in drawing this!
Today's tip: Work out what is important, you don't have to use every colour, you don't have to draw every window, what HELPS it look better or say more?

Tip: Folding up a pop up tent always involves a fleeting moment of panic and a more lasting moment of triumph, most art is like this in my limited experience, I try to persevere to the winning moments.
