Leaf

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a leaf. I've tried to utalise the media interestingly.

Blue grey water

Today I paddled in the place where blue meets grey, and skimmed stones across to gold! #drawingadayclub

Singapore very early in the morning.

Have you traveled much? Where would you like to see?

Today's is Singapore very early in the morning. I was only here 24 hours and I had my daughter in the pushchair, I would like to go back.

At this time in the morning all the shopkeepers are out cleaning the street in front of their shop, and I don't just mean giving it a sweep, they wash it with buckets of soapy water and scrub it until it's cleaner than some peoples kitchens! And you can't buy chewing gum because that would mess it up again!

Loch Lomond, Scotland

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

Today is my birthday, I'm 39.

I asked people yesterday what I should draw on my birthday and most said myself, in a way this is what I have done, if you extend the definition of myself to include the things that represent me.

The idea came from a text from my mum "Happy Birthday my Loch Lomond girl" this is where I was born and used to be the clan lands of my father's clan. Now it's a national park.

Nile Felucca

Nile felucca

These graceful little boats with their asymmetrical sails litter the Nile's banks, competing for space with house boats and hotel balconies.

I took one from Luxor to Banana island, it seemed like easy sailing over very smooth water but the men who sail these boats must know the strange currents in such a big, shifting river.

They make you tea on board, with a tiny gas stove, in a shot glass and medicinally sweet!

Out on the more than a mile wide river it's cool, the only cool outdoor place I experienced in Egypt. When you get to Banana island it's hot again. But as the island is thickly forested with banana trees, it's a shadowy hot unknown on the banks of the Nile, which are cultivated or bare but not thick with trees usually.

You get tiny bananas to eat, a hand span long and sweet, really sweet!

Egypt is a treasure, I loved it, and despite any Egyptology you may have studied, I challenge you to stand under the columns of the template at Karnak and not believe aliens helped build it!
