Just a Blog

Somewhere for me to place my experiences, memories and emotions.

Another Painting

Started this for my Mum, got a ways to go. Need to do some more shading and detail, but as a start, quite happy with it.

[izzysaurusrex]

Simple but I like it. Think hes kinda cute.

Ok. So I hate it lol.

I guess learn from it and improve?

At least the person who asked for it likes it.

Trying to look at the positives.

Start of a new project.

Think this is going to take me a few weeks per piece. This is just the background. Quite a large painting. 3ft x 2ft.

Have 2 more backgrounds to do, one orange and one green, with the same effect on them, both the same size as this one. Then the detailed painting begins. Already done a rough sketch for this painting above. That should be finished, hopefully, by next weekend.

Keeping busy, staying happy.

Been a while since I posted.

Recently been working on my animals. These are a couple of birds I've done. Part of a project I'm doing, my favourite garden birds.

Keeping spirits up, keeping busy and hobbies going.

Hoping everyone else is doing good too, even through the terrible condition the world is in at the moment.

Stay happy and healthy. 😊🌳

More Art

Tried to draw Bartman for my younger brother. Not too bad. Pretty proud of his eyes. First time drawing a Simpsons character. I know his shirt should be blue but I only realised this after I'd done the background. So classic orange-red it is. Need some better colouring pens though. On the order list they go.

Keep trying new things. Keep yourself occupied. Even if it doesnt work the first time. Keep going and keep positive. Practice makes perfect.

Stay Happy and Healthy 😊🌳

Finally finished my Dragonfly

Not entirely happy with it. Could have done a lot better. But at least I tried. It's all learning.

Keep ya chins up lovelies. All we can do is our best.

Some more artwork.

Trying my hand out at acrylics today. Haven't painted anything in years. So considering that, this isn't that bad.

Stay positive, try new things, and just have fun with it.

Some days are absolute dog sh*t. But we need to learn to accept these challenging times as just a passing moment. It will be gone soon. Forever lost in our pasts. Dont hold on to it. Learn from it and be a better you. Journeys anywhere, for anything, have bumps and hiccups. So life, being a journey, will too. You dont stop the car and turn around just because you hit a pothole in the road. You carry on and learn from it. Looking out for the potholes so you can avoid them and reach your destination. We should try to use this logic in our trying times. We experience, learn and then we can cope with situations better in the future. If not avoid them completely.

Stay Happy and Healthy. 😊🌳

Covid Boredom

Trying out drawing again. This is part of a Birthday card for my Nan.

If you are running out of things to do. Try to get back into something you used to do. Or try something new. Even if you suck, you're at home and no ones gonna see. So you've got nothing to lose. 😂

I'm trying to get back into art. Dont think this is too bad an attempt. Could be worse. Its gonna be a while till things get back to normal so we should all try to get to know ourselves more. Maybe it will help us out in the future. Know ourselves. Love ourselves and accept ourselves.

Stay Happy and Healthy 😊🌳

Connected 🤝

If you are struggling with missing your family during this tough time. Think about creating a group chat just for family members. A safe space where you can get support, make each other laugh and put anything on there that you need and cant get. I have done this for my family and its helped us stay close and connected. It's also been a great tool in making sure my elderly relatives can get in touch easy to let us know if they need any help with anything. Just make sure it's a safe space with no toxicity. We all need to be positive and connected no matter how difficult it gets. Let's get through this together, and come out the other side with better bonds with our family and friends. This doesn't exclude people who dont have many or any family members. Family isn't blood. Family are the people who are there for you and always have your best interests at heart. 🧡

Stay happy and healthy. 😊🌳

Youre not alone ☀️ It's fine to have anxiety attacks and meltdowns right now. The world is so different and most people are finding it hard to get their heads around it.

Let yourself feel, accept that feeling then let it go. Bottling it up will just make you feel worse.

Dont worry if you're feeling crappy. You're not alone in this. Everyone is finding this hard. We all just need to learn to talk and accept our feelings.

It's a strength to be able to talk about your emotions. So dont be ashamed. Dont worry. We are all in this together.

Stay happy and healthy
