Drawing again! Week 1

I was encouraged by Anna (* see below) to start drawing again, by joining in the #inktober group.  When I first saw the list of prompts I thought I could manage at least a few days of following the prompts.  I only got as the first day and decided the list was too restrictive!  There I go again, always wanting to do my own thing!  So, here I am at the end of week one, drawing ‘something’ every day.

It’s a journey of discovery and already I find that I love patterns and I’m sure to do lots more!  In some ways I think I’m repeating an exercise I did a few years ago (**) highlighting something I did on the day, creating a ‘calendar’ of little daily drawings.

We had another day out to Warrenpoint (and a lovely lunch) on Carlingford Lough, so those little sketches relate to that, and to finish the six days of drawing, that’s me at the doctor’s having both a Covid booster and a flu jab, both at the same time; one, two, three, ouch!  No more drawing for that day!

A glorious day out, stopping first at Strandfield (I will post about there on another day) then visiting here at Carlingford in the Republic of Ireland.  The return journey was on the ferry across Carlingford Lough back to Northern Ireland, UK (Greenore to Greencastle) finishing with a very late lunch in Warrenpoint.  I will do this trip again and hopefully I’ll remember to take more photos! 🤔 I forgot to take my hat, perhaps that’s the reason, but the weather was amazing!
