Here is another sketch of one of our Christmas decorations..don’t know where this came from and it’s become rather tired over the years. He usually hangs on the tree but as it’s so small this year we have hung bits and pieces around the house.

Here is just another evening doodle – I probably drew this close to midnight after a long day at work. Even through I should really draw when I am fully awake, I find this a nice way to wind down and get my mind off work.

It’s that time of the year again. This year we have less space to put up our old plastic Christmas tree because a shelf has taken over the spot we use – so the solution was to put up just the top third of the tree and put it on top of the shelf! We had to be a bit more selective in putting on the decorations – usually we just throw everything at it.

Here is a quick sketch done of our cat, Tintin, as she sits next to me on the couch in the evening. She is not really a lap cat but recently has taken to cuddling up in the evenings.

On Sunday for a change we had breakfast in Starbucks. This is the view from the window – the big building is a fairly new block of, what appears to be, offices. Being an architect I sometimes despair at seeing such ugly buildings – there are plenty of good architects here but I think developers just want the cheapest solution and pay architects peanuts if they employ them at all.

We have had some powerful typhoons here recently and several trees in our communal garden have fallen over. This one came close – the roots on the right have all lifted out of the ground – so the gardeners are trying to prop it up with some metal frames (they look too feeble to have much affect to me). They also appear to be trying to hold it down with a lump of concrete that is attached to the end of that rope.

Here is my sketch from last night – just one of our many wall mounted fans….essential in a tiny apartment in a hot climate. On the door are some left over signs from our eldest daughter – the yellow one says “have a nice day…somewhere else”…that always makes me laugh.

I have been so busy with work recently that I didn’t even have the time or energy to post this sketch from a couple of days ago – never mind sketch (which I wasn’t able to do yesterday)! Although this is a simple subject its pretty difficult to sketch and paint – I’m not sure if I really got the feel of it.

Just another evening, tired after a long day of work. The sock is because I have had Plantar Fasciitis. Although I promised someone I wouldn’t draw my feet again…I think this doesn’t count because it’s in a sock?
