This week I have been trying to work on about 7 different pieces, thinking if I just keep doing a little bit on each and then moving on, eventually I will get them finished. The trouble is I get sidetracked and keep beginning more new pieces, so the frame and canvas graveyard is probably going to be around for a while!
I seem to get to a point with most of my work where I get stuck and then I have to put them aside for a while. I think over the next week I will try and find tips online on how to combat this and collate them on my post next week!
Anyhoo, I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked due to being poorly with a very nasty migraine, but here are this week’s offerings:
This little thing (14.5cm x 9.5cm) was one I started this week after my previous experiments with rustiness. Here I have utilised some lovely painty old baby wipes, some silica gel balls, some old cement and a couple of heart shapes I created ages ago with some wall filler and pizza boxes.
I’ve also been trying to work on my rainbow coloured piece for my colleague but alas I have still not broken through the creative block… however, I did make this bright and cheerful thing whilst I was trying to figure it out. This was one I started months ago.
It’s 51cm x 20.5cm. Made with something from an old necklace, a curtain ring, tissue paper, some bits of bandage from when my friend’s son broke his arm (!) and old tile grout. The canvas was being thrown in the bin by a charity shop.
Maybe I should just do a series of ‘practice’ pieces and see if he likes any of them instead?!

So much respect to you that you can paint, and paint with a migraine! (PS: Love the title of the post.)
