SkADaMo Day Three

A quickey for day three…

SkADaMo Days One and Two

DAY ONE – I am very worn out and I think my sketch kind of shows this…

 

 DAY TWO  –  A little frustrated with all of the extra noise around the house this weekend, I am also very tired keeping up with my son’s shift work. See I can hardly wax lyrical…

SkADaMo is similar to PiBoidMo and NanoWriMo. The month of November is overflowing with challenges for the creative mind.

SkADaMo is Sketch A Day Month and as the mane suggests I will be doing a two minute sketch… or trying to every day this month.

Too Much?

 

This blog is called Jacque’s Mind Wanderings, I think it should be called The Ramblings of an Idiot sometimes.

Let me show you.

This morning I got the boys off to work and school, did my quota of writing and then at 7am decided to go back to bed for an hour or two, I was exhausted. In that 2 hour period I had at least 5 different dreams. By the way, my friend Stasia makes incredible licorice when she stays in resorts – I think this one was on the moon??? Isn’t it strange that in our dreams we often visit the same landscape or buildings, I can’t tell you how many times I have been on a particular escalator in a particular shopping centre. The escalator is so long, it goes on and on, and the entire dream is often played out on it. Often when I am on the escalator it is with someone new, if it isn’t, I ask the person with me ‘ Do you remember what happened last time we were here?’ and they never do… maybe because it is my dream?

So any way after I had my 5 dreams and the cat laying all over me I thought I had better get busy and go to the art studio to finish my artworks for next week’s exhibition… four hours later and I’m still not there. I have however created labels for the exhibition, name, title, medium,, size and pricing with the 30% commission, and I have now sent off it to the gallery. This morning I have also submitted a picture book manuscript to an agent in New York, tidied a pile of papers at the side of my desk and come up with 5 new picture book ideas. I have visited friends on Facebook and solved the problems of the world. But I SHOULD be painting. Even as I sit here and write this to you I am procrastinating aren’t I? Now that I have shared that with you I can stop talking to myself and go paint, thanks for listening.

I’m going now, could you tell I’ve had three coffees in four hours – NO?

P.S. Here is the invite to my exhibition…
