Lines – is there a subject?
Thinking about lines again and I let my hand just doodle away. I’m not sure even post these, I delete many, but it seems worth having the occasional one for the record. is there something to develop here? Will this come through in a new way in some other realisation?
And then I wonder if there is some symbolic meaning? Who the hell are these people? Why these ones, why now?

Teapot sketch in digital pastel
Looking at the jug in the last two sketches led to this one. Still want to do the jug too. Clicking the pastel & setting it to very soft is how I did this one. Tried oils but that was too hard.
Here is a detail – me! A self portrait:

Christmas Lillies 2
Same vase of flowers but re-done, finer, more time spent, who knows?
One thing that has happened using the “soft pastel” settings is that I feel confident I can repeat fairly easily what I am doing here. Every vase of flowers I see becomes a sketch in my head.he
On this occasion the flowers were not arranged symmetrically so the vase is not in the middle – disturbs me.
Now I am interested in the jug as well as the flowers. Something to follow through here.

Christmas Lillies – flowers in a vase – a Kiwi thing
It is a real New Zealand kiwi thing as far as I know to have these big lillies out at Christmas time. I can’t recall having them in Australia, maybe they do now.
The origins of this sketch is a discussion about originality & the way the subject matter may or may not matter. I do a lot of ordinary subjects, why not a vase of flowers.
I thought the flowers would suit a red background. It seems a bit much, but I tried several others & nothing worked as well. This was done in one pencil setting, one width, one angle.

Lines
Lines that popped out while learning software. Not trying to do anything … and then noticing that I liked it in a kind of Jackson Pollack way & I helped it along a bit.
It is done in a program called Deep Paint, which is not being developed further but is now free.

#195 Trees
Added a new category: Australia. I grew up there, I often go back, and I was there earlier this year and will be over there again next year, and during the “year of a 1000 sketches” so I look forward to bringing in that different aussie feel.

Ka Mate
I am trying out software as usual and hit on this image of a hand – I have been wanting to draw hands. And there is Dan’s The-shirt – with those words from the famous New Zealand haka. Ka Mate The words are about possible death in battle.
