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.
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.
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.

Inspired by Abstract Aspens in one of my favourite blogs, Tina Schell’s Travels and Trifles…Thanks Tina.
Not at home, so…

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.
Not at Home
…but home tomorrow.
