Can’t believe that the first year of college has passed so
quickly and has already come to an end.
I think the end of year show coinciding with my birthday amplified my
awareness of the passage of time. Yet
another year notched up and as usual, just an ordinary day marked only by my
knowledge of having a different age attached and the acquisition of a new stock
of chocolate from the sproggies.
I did however keep myself busy and spent the day
doing a piece of homework for my daughter with marker pens on one of the
class’s current themes of graffiti art.
The owl is the school logo rather than the influence of some weird fashion trend that currently appears on clothes and bags. Of course the teacher knew I did it but seemed happy to have what she said was her ‘own’ picture, which I assume was in reference to the teacher next door that still has the watercolour illustration I did last year on his wall.
That’s one thing that has occurred to me in terms of
drawings and paintings,…..the longevity of them. I mean potentially anything I produce now
could last way past me and as long as the materials used on them will. That’s assuming that they don’t get destroyed
or used for anything else that a canvas could get used for. A tea tray?, wind break? Trampoline for small
pets?
I wonder how long this one will last?
.....until someone gets fed up of storing something that takes up
too much room and collects dust I expect.
Well it’s not like me to plan ahead but I will paint car boot sized
canvases, for the immediate future at least.
Hmmm, now I still have to get this one out of college somehow.
