Getting around ...

Another busy week ...

On Tuesday, I made a first delivery of my greeting cards to Write Here!, a lovely independent shop in Shrewsbury which retails pens, other stationery, art and craft materials, gifts and greeting cards. I'm very tempted by a drawing pen there ... hmmm, Christmas present to myself perhaps?

On Wednesday, having sorted out shipping costs, I dispatched my first sale from my Artfinder shop (https://www.artfinder.com/louise-diggle) to Canada: a pen and ink drawing of a lugubrious-looking Simmental, shown in this post. Fingers crossed that it gets to destination safely!

I couldn't make it to The Hive for life drawing this week, but found an alternative on Wednesday evening at Funky Aardvark in Chester. Some of my work from the evening is shown in this post (the drawings of the man, not the cow).

 And while I'm on the subject of sketching .... Mr Turner / Timothy Spall: artists don't hold their sketchbooks like that! While watching the film, this struck both me and my arty companion immediately. Overall, we found the film rather slow at first, but better as it progressed and definitely worth seeing (despite all the on-screen groaning and coughing etc. - no Strepsils around back then apparently) - though it's long and meant it was a rush to get to the pub afterwards. Somehow art leads to alcohol .... how does that happen? Well, it was good enough for Turner, so who am I to disagree?

It was back to the studio yesterday to print more cards as I received another order from Caffi Wylfa, just across the aqueduct from here. It's great doing business with such a local venue.

And now a (hopefully) inspirational weekend ahead ...
