Irises

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

Venice and me wen I was there!

Today's is Venice, a city mostly built with income from silk made in China.

Just for fun, here is a picture of me when I was here.

So tired after having my daughter's birthday party I fell asleep reading her a story, but somehow I woke up and drew!

Bird over water.

From Dragons to Dragonflies.

A drawing a day, why am I doing it?

I'm a planner, I have my whole year, and indeed my whole life worked out on paper (I often have to alter the small stuff but the big stuff stays) yet I decided to do the drawing a day idea on impulse! I'm finding out WHILE I am doing it WHY I am doing it!

It's not for commercial gain, I haven't worked out how to make it pay out money, but it does seem to be paying off.

• It makes me draw and then I feel good.
• It puts something solely for me in my day of nappies, a lot of laundry, and school runs.
• Many of my friends seem to be following the results with enjoyment.
• If I really keep it up all year my drawing is bound to improve.
• I was inspired by Dominic Roberts doing it and some other artists I know have been inspired by me.
• It adds a little to the general level of light in the world, something on your computer that is not bad news. X

Thank you, Kirsteen

You may have noticed I didn't start this on the first of January, so I'm catching up so here are four drawings!
