Unknown to me until this morning the 29th of October has been an arty day often. Facebook memories reminded me of four exhibitions that I have taken part in.

Also 7 years ago I went to see Grayson Perry in Birmingham. A funny coincidence because I also went to see him 3 days ago in Truro.

Today was always going to be arty as I needed to hunt down a sketch that had been cleared away since the annual summer tidy up. Then I met a fellow artist while I was walking the dogs and we had a bit of an arty natter.

But the actual project of the day , finding the sketch has failed. Instead loads of colour exercises were dug out of files. The mess they created on the spare bed has shamed me into finding a way to use them up in collage and paper weaving projects.

29th of Artober, who knew?
