I woke up before hubby left for work but the morning seems like it was years ago and I barely remember it. Once hubby had pounced off to work, it was time for a workout. Wifey joined me for today’s workout and we got through 30 minutes before I had even noticed.
With the inspiration of a good workout under my belt I attempted the Doodlewash – September 2019 prompt; 15. Stairs. I wanted to draw stairs with pot plants on them and set out to find a good reference photo. I used these stairs from 5 Great Staircase Decorating Ideas.
I added more colour to the pot plants and less colour to the walls. I was not happy with how it turned out but didn’t really know how to improve it. So I gave up on it. Hmph.

Doodlewash – September 2019 on Three Peas, One Pod
After a long lunch, a shower and a big heaping of depression, I thought I would attempt another of the Doodlewash prompts; 16. Eyes.
I really enjoyed the first time I drew eyes so I felt optimistic that I could produce something I would like. By the time I had finished drawing the eyes, I wanted to add a tear drop to the sketch to represent how I was feeling at the time. Round two of drawing was not a success.

By late afternoon I had given up on the day. I tried. That’s something.
You may wonder why I post art I’m not happy with or why I share my bad moods. This blog is about my journey. The ups and the downs. I think it’s important to remember that it is okay to have bad days, it’s okay to be disappointed, it’s okay to not be perfect. The important part is to keep trying. Tomorrow I will try again.
I hope your day has been filled with success and happiness.

I love the flowers on the steps Tilly and your right not to feel that things have to be perfect to post, often the paintings that I don’t think are the best get the most likes 😏

Thanks so much. =) I don’t mind if things aren’t perfect, as long as I’m always learning from what I do. Take care.

Just the way happiness and sadness are, I think the sun wouldn’t be as warm and bright if we didn’t know the feeling of the rain. We live in fleeting moments. This will pass. Whether things get easier or tougher, it will make you a better person all together.
