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.).

Pinching my daughter's art materials again!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a flower done with Windsor and Newton water colour markers (that my daughter got for Christmas) and a bit of white acrylic. It's not at all British to say this but I'm really pleased with this one, although as a textile designer I'm right in my comfort zone with flowers. #drawingadayclub

Today's is a butterfly. I have been designing furnishing fabric for the last two hours which I have to keep secret untill it's sold and manufactured - it's very nice for me to share the drawing of the day with my friends and have a two way communication!

If you want to see some textile design that is not secret you can see it here:

Also I have included a picture of me wearing one of my fabrics.
