Days get stolen by things that need to be done. Things that aren't painting.
Yesterday I went to The Shed to sign books for them. The restaurant was busy and smelled glorious. Back home I had started cooking a bolognaise sauce. Multi tasking. At The Shed I signed the first copies of The Ice Bear, and left them some of my postcards. Made it home in time for the sauce to be perfect.
One of the other tasks in the business of yesterday was delivering paintings to Emrys Art Shop in Haverfordwest. They are showing my work through August and should also have signed copies of books.During conversation, in in confusion I said, "I must go, I want to paint a bowl of cheetahs and a cherry." Slip of the mind leads to new sketch for a painting, the first sketches in my new book, which is heavier than the old and the paper has more grain.
If you ever decide to offer that sketch as a print, please let me know.
ReplyDelete"bowl of cheetahs..." I shall laugh til I fall asleep.
Thankyou.
Blogger is tiresome! I am really Idle Thoughts.
Life's is juat a bowl of cheetahs really suits my current circumstances rather better than cherries. This really made me smile!
ReplyDeleteLove that, especially the cheetahs in the bowl. So fun.
ReplyDeleteI love that! Made me laugh out loud for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketches!
Cheetahs couldn't be beat, and they are good for you too. And sometimes I like strawberries on my cheetahs. Thank you! And what do you know about dragonflies?
ReplyDeleteDon't you love how cats always find the most amazing places to lounge about! What a great way to break in your new sketch book. You should paint that bowl of cheetahs -- with cherries lying all around it -- like they found the (life is just a) bowl of cherries, pushed all the cherries out and took the bowl over -- which would be so typical -- even of the most dog-like of cats. It would make a great print.
ReplyDeleteJackie!
ReplyDeleteThe sketches look great!
And now I'm craving bolognaise sauce for some reason!

Heehee...a bowl of cheetahs! Strangely though it doesn't sound out of place in your blog. Could almost be part of a nursery rhyme! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have a bowl of cheetahs over a bowl of cherries any day.

Love these sketches Jackie!
ReplyDeleteSometimes a slip of the tongue makes for a wonderful mental visual.... thanks for making it a physical reality! You get the "Well Done Lass" award today for making me smile. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAs Idle Thoughts said; if this will come in prints please let us know where we may acquire it. I'm so in awe of your drawings!
