That's right I am not allowed to wibble! No stress or worry or anything! Just nice calm positive thoughts because after all this is just a training run!
Today at work it has been very quiet despite half the team not being in! Which has meant I've been bored and also thinking about Sunday! That be the training run I have on Sunday!
Thank you all for your warm thoughts and encouragement!
Tonight hubby had to be in work for 6 which has meant a long evening with Gnome. He's now in bed and I'm alone. I've just rechecked all my blog friends and Fraggle's tugged at my heart.
I'm now sat down with my sketchpad trying to copy a photo.
The photo was taken a good 20+ year ago. My parents had recently got married and it was Christmas. I had been a bridesmaid and was very proud of my parasol. Grandad had drunk a couple of Harvey Bristol Creams and had fallen asleep under my parasol! It's a wonderful happy picture with happy memories and I can see him now as if it was only yesterday. I miss him.
So I'm trying to draw this picture and I think my aim will be to do this again and again until it's good enough to give to Grandma!
I'm no artist but I am more comfortable trying to copy a picture than starting of with plain inanimate objects! I started a picture of one of our old dogs the other day too! I just hope that I can do something half decent for Grandma as I think she would appreciate it more than a shop bought gift and I will enjoy it too!
I've been reading various web sites and books and I am trying my best - I'm starting off by drawing the negative images, the bits outside the picture as this makes you think more and watch what you are drawing they are not shapes you know! Well that's the theory! It should pass a while and allow me to rest and wind down for my early night!
Tomorrow is a plodette, hairdressers, library, Sainsbury and possibly a Gnome swim and an early restless night!!
