Hello. It's been a little while. We went on holiday for 2 weeks last month to Menorca, Alex's first trip abroad. He turned one last month so it was about time he went on a plane and we even managed to go in the cockpit on both the flights! But don't tell anyone or the captain will get fired! Alex was surprisingly good at hanging out by the pool and I managed to sketch some people. Here they are:
The unexpected bonus of the holiday is that since we got back Alex has
started sleeping all night! The only thing disturbing him now really is
me (we only have the one bedroom). I've had a cough and it woke me up at 3.30 this morning and I haven't been able to get back to sleep so I feel a bit like this:
I've got a sketchbook full of
compositions and ideas for free-motion animals and birds I plan to do -
I've taken to making bits of art work for Alex's friends, along the
lines of the bee I made for Alex's birthday but my own design. The only thing holding me back now is not having anywhere to work. Now he is one Alex is so good at entertaining himself so my problem now is that the only table I have is the kitchen table which is only really good if I want to add some squashed cherries to my work! So I intend
to drag my tired self to IKEA today to finally FINALLY buy a desk and
set up this art area in our very underused lounge that I've been talking
about for so long that seriously I've even bored myself of the subject!!
