Towards the end of 2020 I was feeling in a bit of a rut. Unable to pin down whether I had grown stale of the still life genre; working in oils; or if the more technical aspects of painting (composition, colour etc) were causing me grief (or a combination of all three!). So this year I have decided to put a concerted effort into being more playful and developing my skills. To give me some motivation and accountability I have jumped on board the the100dayproject - simply put its a commitment of 100 days of creating. For me the aim of the project is to play and experiment without the pressure of producing a finished, polished artwork.

Anyone can participate (1,000s are involved globally) and you set your own parameters. Mine are:
- keep it simple, 5-10 min drawings/ sketches
- experiment with mediums, specifically focusing on collage
- do it when I can (I know there is no chance of completing 100 days consecutively, so aiming for 100 semi-consecutive days - however long that takes!)

Officially starting on Jan 31 I cheated and got cracking at the start of the year, here are some pics from my journal thus far.
