I came across this panel in B's painting shed the other day, on the back of one of his paint tests. He makes his own paint, and tests the colours in swatches painted on small gessoed boards on stretchers. The swatch was facing the wall, revealing this small abandoned painting, scraped off, turned over and repurposed, with the stretcher now forming a deep frame around the picture. I would actually hang it on the wall just as it is. I love the texture and colours, and at some time soon I think this may form a background to an illustration. An update on my avocado roots this week - they could really do with being potted now as the leaves are beginning to look sad, no doubt lacking nutrients. See their development since February here and right at the beginning in July last year here ... I can't believe the force of nature hidden in the stones. The jar in the centre's stone split in half, leaving just what's showing above.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
