Sketchbook Project 2013 - pages!

I am not entirely sure as yet what order these images will go into my sketchbook in - they weren't done to tell a story, or anything that obvious, although one or two of them are one of a pair, so obviously they'll be put so that they work together.  For now though, here is a small, and random, selection of pages for your viewing pleasure :)

Half an apple a day....

Oil on canvas, 8x10 inches

...Keeps the doctor half-away? Away every other day? What? hehe

I decided to give myself a little break from the layering thing today, and this was the result. It's been a long while since I did a 'from life' wet-in-wet piece, and I suspect it shows! It was fun to paint though, which is the main thing!

It almost didn't happen at all - after I'd set it all up, balanced my whites, and sat down to start painting, the bulb in my main daylight lamp blew. I don't know how long they're meant to last - but I would've expected it to last longer than that! Of course, I didn't have a spare bulb that would fit (it's a different lamp to my others, and of course, I've got spares for them, but they're totally the wrong shape!), and I couldn't find my spare lamp anywhere (must've put it somewhere 'sensible' during my big painting room tidy up a couple of weeks ago!) so I had to hunt around the house for a new light source (and put the room back together again, after taking it apart hunting for the elusive spare lamp!) before I could start!

And... she's back!!

hellooooooo!!

So, I haven't painted for months - first, my beautiful kitty cat, Squitley, was very, very, ill. She somehow 'pulled' her tail, ripping the muscle, blood vessels and nerves away from the bone. The vets did everything they could to save it, but after a month or so, we ended up having to have it amputated :'( Whilst she was poorly, she took up all of my time (mostly because I had to stop her biting her tail and making it worse!)
After that... various things happened to make my life rather chaotic, and I struggled to get back into it.

Anyhoo. I'm back now :)
