I've told myself a few times already to stop it and get on with the stuff for my market and my group-exhibition in December.
But I can't. I'm a bit addicted to drawing these women, giving them all their own character and searching for quotes that fit them perfectly.
I just enjoy it :-) So I keep going ....
Although I must admit I started panicking a bit when my daughter mentioned she only has one more week of school before the autumn-break ...
November is going to be a very very busy month with family-business, so I won't have much time to do anything art-wise.
I'm not even sure I will be able to blog ...
So yesterday I sat down at my art-table, whipped out my roadbook, put on my headphones and made 7 map-paintings! Seven! They're not all finished yet, but boy did it feel good to make such progress :-) Here's the first one completely finished:
I'm not sure how my doodle-calendar will proceed. I have all the drawings in pencil, I just need to put them in marker, which isn't a lot of work, but I also need to add all of those small details. Not sure whether I'll find the time and/or the patience for that. We'll see. My map-calendar will be finished though!
That's it for this week! I'll be linking to Paint Party Friday tomorrow. Only one thing left to do now: post some funnies and thinkies :-)
Thanks so much for your visit and your uplifting comments! Have a wonderful day, take care and I'll be back next week ♥ ♥ ♥
7 in one day is impressive :D nice to see you still doing inktober :)
