I thought I\u2019d take a Picasso book with me to our pub brunch. So I took this smaller more portable one, above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conversation this morning, with my ol\u2019 buddy, Dan Ellis, got me thinking I\u2019d like to make him a piece of art. And gift it to him\/them. I only hope I can do something they might actually like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gifted him\/them a Japanese print, a while back. I\u2019d wanted it to be a flute player. But I couldn\u2019t find one! I\u2019d like to a flautist avec his lady. And the above gallery is some kind of seam of inspiration for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picasso\u2019s prolific energy, the diverse range of his output\u2026 its staggering. Literally, to me at any rate, awe-inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong lines, subtle colours.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I include the above more for colours, and vibes, as opposed to subject or literal structural design. And I include the painting below simply because I utterly adore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Why, to me, is this amazing!?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I hope Picasso will help me channel some artistic vibes, and come up with something Dan (& Amy) might like enough to put up on their walls\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to battle\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sketch #1, for Dan, via Picasso.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019ve done a first sketch, of flautist and lady. I\u2019ll now try working several versions up, in a variety of ways. I want warm but subtle colours, combined with bold simple lines. Let\u2019s see what I can do\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it\u2019s the end of the day. Time for beddy-bye-bumpkins! And I\u2019ve made some progress on the mooted Dan & Amy artwork. I\u2019ve got a line drawing I\u2019m happy with. And I\u2019ve even started in on a colour version. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
