1309 – Learn from past successes

I was listening to a Dhamma talk again while I drew this – and the main things I picked up were to learn from past successes not failures…and to carry the good things forward. Why this sketch ended up wonky on the page, I don’t know…but I just went with it. My father hated peanut butter – but I love the stuff, especially in a sandwich with banana!

1307 – More from the fridge

My fridge is effectively my pantry – so this is another one for the #PantryArtProject – just a quick sketch in the evening. I prefer to buy milk in big tubs and even more prefer to buy soya or oat milk but this is all I can get from the corner shop here. At least these days, tetra packs can be recycled.

1305 – Celery for cooking

I was thinking of my mum while I was sketching this (and listening to a Dhamma talk which is getting to be a habit) – she likes celery when its fresh and crispy but hates it when it’s cooked. Unfortunately this bunch from my fridge is a bit limp, so cooking it is the only option.

1303 – Give me real cheese

Some sketches just don’t work out how you expect them to. After a run of sketches that I’ve been satisfied with, I was due for one like this – somehow this bag of cheese doesn’t look like a bag at all! Cheese here is pre-grated and plastic-like – I long for British extra mature cheddar!

1301 – Pink eggs

I have a backlog of drawings to share, so here is another one for the #Pantryartproject – these eggs come in a pink polystyrene box…nasty stuff (I much prefer when they come in recycled cardboard)…but interesting to sketch. I have heard that the government is banning polystyrene here in TCI … at last!
