It was recently my birthday and this human made it the best ever. @charlton41 thank you so much for everything you do for us, words cannot describe how lucky I am to have you. #draw #drawing #sketch #sketching #sketchbook #peoplewatching #pen #sakurapen #observationaldrawing #portrait #people #travel #ridraw #rebekahirving #artist #art
So much has happened over the summer. My initial plan to go to Glasgow School of Art to complete a masters in Fine Art Practice had fallen through as I was unsuccessful in obtaining a scholarship, meaning I couldn’t afford to go even with the help from student finance.
Since then I also got the news that I was discharged from a waiting list for psychotherapy, something of which has now been resolved and now in treatment attending weekly Interpersonal Psychotherapy Sessions. At the moment I am not feeling much progress, but these things take time.
In the mean time I am saving to relocate to Newcastle to set up base and get back on track with a career. Cannot believe it is taking so long, but small steps.
Gale, Stoick, Meadow, Snufkin, Poppy and Daisy are all doing well. Some portraits will be in progress shortly so follow for more.
Thanks everyone and apologies for the silent mouseness.
I had a lot of fun doing this portrait as a wedding gift to my wonderful friends @daverobsonbeck and @v.robbeck of their dog arrow, whom I am plotting to steal because he is simply brilliant. I wish you all the happiness in the world, you are beautiful kindred spirits! Thank you @charlton41 too for suggesting it as a wedding gift idea.
Thank you so much, I haven’t enjoyed a drawing so much in a while. Looking forward to the next one lined up.
