22.01.2022 Fooling around with gold leaf (again).
22.01.2022 Painter tote bag from @nickcollerson perfect for carrying stuff back and forth from the studio
20.01.2022 Angry orange man. One zoom meeting too many.

17.01.2022 Finally finished Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld, which was the alternative history of Hillary Clinton. The one where she doesn't marry Bill. However much to my chagrin she still meets, sleeps and has a relationship with Bill. I couldn't it seem invent new people in my head that looked like younger versions of Hillary and Bill. So whiles the book is all about the start, and Hillary's imaged inner life *fairly innocuous inner life, I still had Hillary as she was today and that made for weirdly uncomfortable reading. You may ask, what's that to do the drawings? That's a very good question. http://sharonkitching.com/2020/12/13/the-alt-history/

10.01.2022 Blue daze #drawing
09.01.2022 Shifting through the pile of coffee table scribbles this morning I noticed the void is back in style. I love the big black heart in a drawing and it’s the bit I often draw first, as opposed to the drawings where you scribble something out in a sense of frustration. Between the full time life from home and the impending sense of doom, a bit of frustration is not too surprising. I’ll be glad to see life drawing when it starts again. #drawing
08.01.2022 Night painting is particularly enjoyable. Play loud music and you're alone so noone bothered by your music tastes (or lack of it). The studio was a crisp 15 degrees (which is quite good) and although it generally looks like a bomb has hit the place, and I do need to take home the recycling - it's quite comfortable. This is one of the 10x12cm canvas that sit in piles around the studio. They get worked on, discarded, and then repainted on a regular basis. I've got to learn to pick up new ones rather than fiddle with finished ones. It's the old 'when is it finished?' question.
08.01.2022 The things that didn’t happen this year
07.01.2022 What's a meme? God knows. Think of it as a visual idea that mutates and changes like a viral version of a gene. Memes reuse the same images, or language and for reasons I can barely articulate they tend to make me laugh. They past from person to person with a tweak here. The internet now homes more meme generators than you can poke a stick at and a billion blogs with the all the examples. [ 108 more words ] http://sharonkitching.com/2020/11/11/paint-a-meme/
04.01.2022 The magic colour is blue. She shoots the stars down from the sky. The controller lays on the lounge. They watch much television. 11secs of daily drawings. I have a set of plan drawers at the studio, and keep shoving the drawings in that. The idea is that one clear sunny day, I'll look at what is stashed away. Other times, and this is a little embarrassing, I magnet a drawing to the fridge to look at for a few days.... http://sharonkitching.com/2020/12/16/simple-life/
03.01.2022 Looking all the time
01.01.2022 Pinning up images. Looking. Artists are supposed to spend a lot of time looking. Apparently that's why painting often attracts the contemplative. Most of this was drawn in front of the television watching bad crime, hence the nipple touching, disjointed isolated nature of many of the drawings. There's a lot of floating in space. Women as strangers. Men with angry faces and big ears aka, the mad monk.... http://sharonkitching.com/2020/12/14/yellow-wallpaper/
