Studio 365: Day 232

Day 232 i

Core Values 20.8.15

A little explanation of today’s post. Sifting through that bottom drawer again I came across this drawing from a class in 1981 in which the exercise was to draw an apple core without looking at the page.

Day 232 iii

It stimulated me to reproduce this lovely Red Delicious before and after I had munched my way through it using watercolour, ink, pencil, charcoal and pastel.

Day 232 iv            Day 232 v

Some came out quite well although I have to admit the pastel was not a success as it is a medium with which I am not that familiar; something to work on.

Not at home, so…

Day 227 iii
 
…here is another find from the studio bottom drawer from a series of visual puns I had been having fun creating some years ago. This one is entitled, not surprisingly, Knot a Painting.

As I’m away this weekend here are a few more images in the same vein, which some of you may remember…

…together with a story I wrote in April last year in response to a Writing Challenge to craft a story in Fifty words .

Homage to Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis

Knot at Home

Gregory awoke, still seated in his armchair, newspaper in hand.

Something felt very different.

He knew he was knot the same.

“I am in a giant Perspex box” he thought.

He remembered a book he had once read about a man becoming a fly.

He knew it didn’t end well.
