I find that painting and drawing is relaxing. I've completed a fair few paintings and drawings since my last flurry of activity on Blogger. The main reasons for the absence of uploads is that I was assaulted by an intruder a few months back and that as would be expected, sort of of knocked me back a bit. Compounded by the fact that Apple for some strange reason no longer supports Blogger, and my iPad is my mainstay as an art visual diary and my art hub. I could upload to
Blogger with ease, but these days using the iPad is stressful as
Blogger crashes so much. I can do without stress. My old laptop was appalling, and all of these points conspired to stop the uploading. My new laptop in comparison is both cheaper and a joy to use. Cheaper is nice, as like many out there; money has to stretch these days. Nice because it's usable. It ain't perfect, but it ain't bad either.
I paint and draw across a huge range of media and styles and subject matter. I'm not constrained by commercial considerations and complete my art to aid my mental health.
Today's subject is a
Masonic First Degree Tracing Board completed in
ink and
watercolour. It is an unusual style of
First Degree Tracing Board and unless it's a piece of my
artwork then you may struggle to find similar online. It's probably out there somewhere, but I'm yet to find it. This painting and drawing is sized 4 x 6 inches on
250gsm Mixed Media paper.
