This is the second in a series of aceos with a marine/beachcombing theme (one of my favourite pastimes! The beach always draws me back and feeds my inspirations all year round,-we spent an invogorating afternoon at Perranporth this week! This design is currently for sale in my ebay store http://stores.ebay.co.uk/sujati-art (use link on left or copy and paste into your browser).

I had the most fortunate opportunity via an artist friend recently, to attend a live drawing class within a course she is following on a sort of casual 'drop-in' basis as there were enough spaces available-it's a discipline one can never have enough of and finding good models willing to pose is no easy task on a budget! This is one of the resulting sketches,worked in about 20 minutes(with a couple of false starts!) using conte crayon,chalk and charcoal on tinted paper.The model was fantastic and after quite a intense 2 hours of practising I felt really focussed and inspired to do more-I hope the opportunity comes again soon!

As an artist, one of the most important tools is your sketchbook! Some i have seen are neatly filed and organised,with a separate area for written notes,ideas and clippings. MINE however is NOT neat,but that is just how I like it! As much as I love to begin working in a fresh new sketchpad,I feel far more attuned to it once it has gained a collection of scribbles,staples,coffee rings etc-all the imprints of the experiences that my book and I have shared! Here is my first post of a sketchpad view. I have added a soft pink frame to the photo, as I liked the 'faraway' look to her, but other than that,it is a simple photograph of my pencil drawing. This is definitely a piece I would like to take further,a very feminine character! I will post here to share some of those pages of (sometimes smudged and often tattered) inspirations as an insight into my work as it evolves.....

I miss the sunshine! Here is a painting which I finished today-the crocuses appearing give me hope that it won't stay dull and damp forever and inspire me with thoughts of Spring sunshine.... This is the fisrt in a series of works with a Spring Season Theme which I am currently working on.Block canvas measure 4" x 6" and 1.5" deep(approx). Hand written quote around the edge of the design reads 'again the crocuses are ablaze,the soft spring wind is blowing' and the stem is collaged with pieces of real crocus leaf. I love the way these delicate flowers suddenly appear when the garden is at it's most dull and untidy! This piece is currently for sale in my ebay store where more photos can be seen...
