Dark and shadowy for WOYWW

Here's my desk mess this week.

I sometimes wonder how on earth I manage

to paint in that, but I am a grot

and can't create if I'm not surrounded

by mess.

That big mess on the wall at the right

is my telephone directory.

I don't have a little book to keep phone numbers in

so I just write a phone number on a piece of paper and staple it

to the last one I put up there.

Sounds crazy but I always seem to find the number I need.

The bits on the clips on the wall 

are school notes for Little Miss

and the rest is my mess.

 

I am doing a dark and shadowy painting for APR

this week.

The theme is shadows.

It's still at the rough in stage

but will be a staircase disappearing into the darkness

when it's finished.

I will be posting the finished picture 

along with a few photos

of the painting as it progresses

later in the week.

Well, this painting won't finish itself,

so I had better keep going.

Now you've seen my mess for the week,

hop on over to Julia's

Stamping Ground

and see what all the others

have on their desks

this wednesday.

I hope all the bloggers on the east coast of America

are all safe and well

in that awful storm.
