Clara goes to Lincolnshire

by stephen | posted in: Clara Holdsworth Villa, Family | 0

The first Clara post for quite a while, which would imply that things have been going swimmingly well with our erratic & temperamental  VW campervan. Not so, unfotunately. A more accurate blog post would have started with a ‘Clara goes to … Continued

As with all of my others, this is done in ink pen & acrylic, on top of some appropriately found collage pieces...

Hours and hours of unpaid prepping & planning to ensure all of my lessons were the best I could make them... it might be time to chuck this unused item away 🙄 Times are certainly tough right now and it's been quite an eye-opener to see how certain companies and organisations have treated staff during this crazy year. Some have been amazing. Others less so. I could write more, but maybe it's time to move on. Time to look elsewhere. Time for a change... (294/366) #photoadaychallenge

Doing this photo a day thing can be quite an unwan Doing this photo a day thing can be quite an unwanted chore sometimes. Recently I've not remotely wanted to post or share anything. I've been a wee bit down... But hey, life's full of these ups and downs. It's what makes life more interesting. A flat life is a lot less fun than a bouncy one 🙂 So, technically this isn't a photo and it wasn't remotely taken today, but I kinda figured that as I've been doing this daily photo malarkey for so many years, I'm allowed to bend the rules slightly 🤓 Onwards and upwards 💗💗💗 (289/366) #photoadaychallenge #upanddown

The arts has never been an easy career. It's never The arts has never been an easy career. It's never been something you embark upon to make money and retire early. You do it because it's in your heart. It's your love, your passion and it's what makes you feel alive... If you're lucky you may actually forge a fairly successful lucrative career out of your art, but there's no guarantee of that. Plenty of artists struggle to survive financially, but continue to create their art. This year has been disastrous for the arts. Theatres, cinemas, music venues, museums, galleries, dance studios, TV studios, film sets etc have been closed for most of the year. For me personally, I fund my art career by teaching, running workshops, doing art demonstrations, working on arts projects, exhibiting & selling my artwork and doing art commissions. Most of that has been totally wiped out this year and what little teaching I currently have is hanging by a very thin thread. I'm not sure how other countries are handling the arts during this pandemic, but here in the UK our Government's response has been somewhat appalling. I know in their infinite wisdom they'd love Fatimah to abandon her dance career and work in I.T. and according to their career retraining questionnaire the country would be much better placed with me as a soldier or coastguard!!! All a bit laughable, if it wasn't so annoying, insulting and important. Like many people in the arts, I'm a bit shite at selling/promoting myself and accepting praise or compliments, but I'll give it a go 😉 Apparently my artwork has moved people emotionally. It's tugged at something deep inside. It's made people cry. My teaching and art demonstrations have inspired, excited and motivated people... Other people's words, not mine. So despite the Government's best efforts and lack of support I will be shunning their military and coastguard options. Instead I will continue to follow my heart and I will continue my career in the arts 💗💗💗 #supportthearts

I've always hated the term 'coming out' To me it's I've always hated the term 'coming out' To me it's always emphasised that you're hiding or in denial, which I know is largely accurate, but I've never really seen it as a massively positive term. But today is National Coming Out Day and it is important. I really can't stress enough how different life got for me when I properly came to terms with who I am and when I started to announce this to the world. Accepting what you are and being true to yourself is such a healthy positive position to be in. Having said all of that, I know all too well how hard it can be to "come out" There are lots of reasons why people don't. Fear is sadly the main one. Fear of not being accepted, being abused, ridiculed, attacked. Fear of losing family, friends etc. Often people are confused about who or what they are... I've experienced pretty much all of the above and it's not a great place to be in. So today my love & support goes out to all the people who for whatever reason haven't 'come out' Hopefully your time will come and when it does, here's hoping it will be a loving, welcoming and accepting time, because it should be ♥️🧡💛💚💙🤎💜 (284/366) #photoadaychallenge #comingoutday #transgender #transition #gender #trans

So, 31 ink portraits in 31 days. 31 portraits of p So, 31 ink portraits in 31 days. 31 portraits of people I know, people who have asked me or people I particularly admire... Apart from today that is. My Inktober portrait number 6 is of someone I rather despise. A man who deems my job as an artist to be unviable. A man who this week advised all people currently working in the arts, to get another job. My inky scribble today is of the UK's chancellor @rishisunakmp possibly the most hated individual amongst the arts sector... Usually I offer signed prints of my inky portraits for a small nominal fee. I don't generally make much money from these... This portrait however, I'll be selling signed prints for £30,000 each 🙂 So if multi millionaire Rishi fancies dipping into his vast wealth, his tiny purchase will enable me to survive as an artist for another year. I'll be able to buy my art materials, feed my family, pay my bills, my travel expenses etc. I'll also be able to buy music, books, films. Visit the cinema, theatre & museums if any of these survive. Go to gigs if they ever return. Pay for my TV subscriptions. Buy other people's artwork... And if Rishi fancies two prints I could even pay off my student loan which racked up when I did my fine art degree 🙂 Oh and, apologies if I haven't nailed your likeness bang on Mr Sunak. Sadly all of the love, care, pride and passion that goes into my work, was totally gone when I angrily drew this!!! #art #portrait #ink #inkpen #drawing #portraits #portraitartist #artwork #inktober #artmatters #supportthearts

Portraits are a tricky tricky thing. So many peopl Portraits are a tricky tricky thing. So many people are terrified to tackle them and I'm constantly getting asked advice about how to improve on portraiture... My stock answer is usually, practice. The more you do, the more you'll improve. But they don't always go perfectly to plan, which is what makes them such a challenge... During last year's Inktober portrait challenge I scribbled @dmchowanski44 and it really didn't go well 😬 So, here she is again 🙂 Practice practice practice... Inktober portrait number 4...
