Yesterday I started this caricature drawing of Barack Obama. It was progressing well, until I decided to use grey pen for his skin. I know, I know, I’ve said this before, when will I ever learn. I should have used a Copic marker pen, not a pigment pen, sigh…
Anyway here’s Barack, the skin tone is too dark, I know, but it was that or leave him even more blotchy – I didn’t like that option!
As I haven’t done a caricature for a while, I thought I’d post him. I’ve also finished my abstracts. Two have worked really well but the third is so-so. Still debating the Summer exhibition entry, no decision yet. I can have a maximum of 2 entries, so they need to be right. I suspect they need to be fairly traditional but looking at the judges that might not be the case. Don’t you wish you could read minds sometimes?

I wasn’t able to finish anything last night, too busy working on some abstracts. Hopefully later on today – I’m waiting for masking to dry then I can start the painting.
I’ve linked all my sites together now. All seems to be working nicely, so far... I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that I want to do more fine arts. I’m not going to stop doing caricatures, I don’t think, but I’m getting a real kick out of the abstracts in particular, plus I think my opportunities for general art sales might be more open to fine arts than caricatures. I’m thinking of the Art trail, which, ironically, does not feature my artwork this time, but I’m still hopeful for the future. It’s a bit frustrating, given all the work I’m putting in, that this block will get lots of advertising whilst the block which featured my work was not advertised at all. However, I’m not going to let that get me down, rejection is normal in this business!
I need to look to the exhibition at Stowe, deadline for entries is 15th March. I’ve submitted a piece to the Society for all artists (SAA) I’m also wondering about the Summer exhibition this year. The deadline is soon, but I’m not sure what the enter. The theme is Raw!
After a lovely, productive day yesterday it all went a bit “Pete Tong” when the youngest was sick as we were about to sit down for dinner. Today he’s been a limpet but he’s on the mend now. I’m hoping this evening will be better. I spent the time cuddling and trying to get my head around the site optimisation information. My head feels like a sponge, there may be a lot in there but it’s leaking out as rapidly as water does from a real one!!!!!
I’m hoping to get something done this evening, and I’ll post an image later if I do.
