East Grinstead highstreet.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is East Grinstead highstreet.

This is a safe little town with a low crime rate, little poverty and easy access to green speces and I'm so bored of it I may commit town-oside and murder the longest row of Tudor houses in their sleep!

This is East Grinstead and up the road is Forest Row (which I am marginally less board of) if you count them both my life goes.

Clearly I keep escaping and getting sucked back to Forest Row and East Grinstead. Please let me know if you have a cure!

This is yesterday's drawing - sorry.

Cafe, bluebells cafe, East Grinstead

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a cafe. Drawing a busy environment like this is a bit confusing, you have to edit out details, in your mind, edit out, edit out...

Steam Engine, Bluebell Railway, Sussex

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

We are very lucky in East Grinstead to have the Bluebell Railway right here.

Today's drawing is one of the engines. (I found out recently the train is the engine and the carriages, so the part that pulls the carages alone is an engine, not a train!)

East Grinstead, high street

I'm creating a drawing a day for the art of it. Today's is East Grinstead.

Someone asked me yesterday what I get out of it, so here is the answer.

I practice my drawing and it gets better.
I get a little me time each day, which it can be hard for mummys to get.
I feel good when my friends say it brightens their lives.
I collect a body of work I could use for somthing.
I often start tired and just wanting to eat cake and watch Netflix and end feeling good and involved in my art.
Mostly I just don't want to to say on my headstone "she kept up with Netflix and bbc iplayer."
