I would love to know how many times I have made this trip: as a child with Dad driving, Mum in the front, little bro beside me and the pockets of the Triumph Herald filled with sweeties; or nowadays, either driving myself or with B doing the driving. At the moment we are making the 90-minute trip frequently, between two homes, the car stacked with odds and ends of the house move. This week we were blessed with spectacular weather for the drive. I love taking random photos with my phone on car trips. I can't see what I'm shooting at the time and get some exciting results when I transfer the photos over from my phone.

The house is on the market, renovations on the interior are almost complete; the exterior comes next. The actual house move itself is beginning to draw close.
7 great things from this week: - Goodbye old art bin, hello to the new one - Smooth operator - Beginning to see clear spaces - The new skip filling up quickly (the fourth 16 cubic yarder) - Smooth walls! And clean windows! - I discovered we had a model of the universe in an old lamp - We discovered we had a feature staircase under the old carpet Thanks for visiting, see you next week! The great clear-out prior to the final house move continued this week with the shed. At one time we used it as a pottery, and the clutter was incredible. This old touristy biscuit-tin printed with scenes of the Cotswolds turned up; I was fascinated by its innocence and the faded, scratched surfaces which seemed to add mysterious symbols to buildings and describe jagged lightning strikes of rust! Thanks for visiting, see you next week Our third - yes, THIRD - 16 cubic metre skip is our own personal Michael Landy's Art Bin project (2010, the South London Gallery) pictured half-way to being filled to the hilt with failed projects, ghastly drawings, and portfolios of fails. Never be an artist if you are of the faint-hearted persuasion. Moving house. 4 great things this week: - shadows on a bare wall bore painful memories of the school gym horse - familiar items left lying out of context displayed spectacular grids and patterns - when carpets were lifted we discovered we had been living over haunted concrete - Agnes Martin paintings (you had to be there, not the best phots!) a woven rattan stool reminded us of her drawings Thanks for visiting, see you next week! |
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!)

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). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
