Seems like Mr. Potter is more meticulous and/or pragmatic than you because of the tendency to fill in all the spaces? (I correctly guessed left in the previous post, haha).
Let me get this right - you did the first one and Andy did the second? How come you have an equally artistic husband? I'm useless at drawing and painting but Mr FF is pretty good - you're an even match.
don't we all have a masculine and feminine side to our faces in real life, I'm not remotely symmetrical. certainly a bit of jiggery pokery in photoshop copying and flipping face sides, gives you two very different people.
Jonathan – yes – that’s me – I style both of us. Obviously in art – we create our aspirations.
Berowne – yes ink blob is not our medium – clearly
Codgi – just nice that you turned up!
Eric - Mr Potter/Kirkham is undoubtedly more meticulous than me. I paint a room in an hour, he takes two days. Because I really never notice, quality is not my thing! Probably more pragmatic too...are you an art psychotherapist?
FF – He’s probably a better draftsman, I’m probably a better designer. Neither of us are great! We just like to play!
Mr T – I also heard speculation that we have a public and private side to our face (our left is what we want to hide from the world) and our right is our public persona. There was that woman who they used for criminal profiling that spotted Ian Huntley....I think I look better with my right duplicated symmetrically. All that darkness inside me.......
I agree with Mr T...we are all two-faced. Oops, was that a slip? I did notice a lifetime ago that I have a harsh demanding left eye and a soft sympathetic right eye and that I paint primarily with my left.
Incidentally, I thought you were having a break Molly P. My blog isn't letting me know of updates and I missed the last few.
My beautifully captivating and mesmerising big sister cast a spell on me. It was a spell that would make me sit in up in the clouds and write a blog every single day...mostly for her benefit - as she dutifully and kindly read and commented on each one. Being easily coaxed into most things and liking the idea of a blog meant this spell was fine...for a while. Then.....I was sitting minding my own business (I look quite funny when I do that - most people do) when a huge green common-sense elf wearing red hotpants came and waved his wand at me declaring, "Writing a blog every day when you work full time, have two youngish children and a million projects on the go at any one time, is a little silly. You can waffle on and on about just about anything and do have about forty draft blogs saved ready to run, but it's probably best you aim more for quality than quantity and only write about slightly more fully formed ideas! After all, less IS more." I was released -although I fear
I have always loved Norwich Cathedral as it is beautiful and atmospheric. But it turns out that it is also loaded with a hotchpotch of history as building started in 1096. The more I learn about it, the more fascinated I become. So here are my recommendations for what to look out for should you ever visit the cathedral. 1) The Elizabethan grave of Thomas Gooding Thomas was a mason of the cathedral. He paid a fair amount of money to be buried upright because he believed this would give him an advantage come judgement day. At the base of his memorial is a typical of its time, poignantly death-focused inscription: 'All you that do this pass bye Remember death for you must dye As you are now even so was I And as I am so shall you be Thomas Gooding here do staye Wayting for God's judgement day' If you look at the skeleton, you will see there is poor knowledge of anatomy. 2) The grave of the baby that died before she was born . I have been told that this is be
I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now. Just shows you how far a bit of anal retention can take one. *************************************************** DEFINITION A popular term for “anal retentive personality,” a personality marked by excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve. According to psychoanalysis, an anal personality is formed in early childhood as a result of efforts to control bowel movements. *************************************************** Now tell me, does anal retention *increase with age? *really make life easier? *have very strong links to the need to b

I was TRYING to have a break and then something else pops into my brain and I write about it.
ReplyDeleteI will try really hard to have a few days off now.
