Today's challenge: 'Meditate & write to the future. How did it make you feel?'.
Well I didn't meditate, I can't sit still long enough but I did wonder what it would be like as an angel in a Renaissance painting.

Challenge today: 'Playing with Paint'. I got out my acrylics & a palette knife & splashed & squished paint around. Added a line but it took ages to dry as my artroom is so cold! Then I added some stick figures. Oh dear.

Challenge today is to relax and breathe consciously while covering one nostril! The technique is called pranayama. Don't think I will be trying it!

CAT LOVERS BEWARE!
Challenge was to choose a word, translate it into Welsh, create a new word.
Cow - Gwartheg - Gwarthmog. Meet a gwarthmog, a cross between a cat and a cow!
I do think I might have overthought this one.

'A song that connects with theme of 'colour'.
It had to be the poetic 'Colours' by Donovan and I sat down to listen to it - didn't join in because I can't sing.

Challenge is what is your 'Pick me Up?'
Spent all day objecting to a planning application! In need of a pick me up during I turned to a cup of Earl Grey in a posh cup and saucer. Drawing it made me relax.
