update on the challenge
I've been really ill since Saturday (you don't want to know the icky details) so I've only just managed to pick up your emails and comments and links to the brushes and my day challenges. What a great surprise - several fun new ones to add - so don't forget to check back on the 'challenge' tag to see new additions - I add them as they arrive.
Below is my friend Glen's version - she and her husband have a fishmongers (very good one too) and she has an incredibly busy life delivering to businesses like hotels and homes and working in the shop, visiting her elderly mum and finally managing a little bit of time to paint, often late at night. She doesn't have the time for a blog.
You can see more of her work on http://sitekreator.com/glenheath/index.html , http://sitekreator.com/theassociationofleicestershireartists/glen_heath_1.html and http://www.leicestersocietyofartists.co.uk/artists_of_leicester_society_of_artist/lsa_members_template.php?LSAMembersCode=43
Keep those sketches coming - please :>D

Hope your better now. There are some talented artists out there. I think I would have to resort to Lowries stick men. I do not have the natural talent of my brother who is a brilliant caricaturist . I am a good copyist.
Cheers
Lindsay I will pass on your comments to Glen - she'll be delighted.
She's one of the 2 friends who has been doing the waterways project with me off and on as they can.
Those oak trees in Bradgate Park are really ancient - I think they must have been young when Lady Jane Grey was growing up there - incredible to think what they've seen!
I'd love a friend with a fresh fish business - both for eating and painting.
she has done some great paintings of fish - it's something I've never tried
I have my day sketched out now and will post it this evening.
Rest and relax and I hope you're back on form again soon.
your challenge has yielded some amazing results! what a fun venture! very clever idea on your part.:)
i do hope Glen sets up a website or blog. i'd love to see her fish! i've wanted to paint fish for so long but just haven't made that leap yet. i'd enjoy seeing her's.

I really liked the challenge you put to us fellow bloggers, so I tried it out. Here is my attempt at the exercise! http://elizabethfloydstudio.blogspot.com/2008/04/memory-sketch-exercise.html
Wow, I found it more difficult than expected, but it was fun to rethink and focus on a day... maybe I will remember it better in the future.
I always had your website on my linklist, I didn't realize you had a blog!

Katherine talked me into doing a blog - it's all her fault!
