clutter by summerfield

clutter

this is what happens when you insist you cannot draw but draw anyway. i had to do this in haste as our water is going to be shut off in an hour and i need to get ready to get away from here. no one can live for 4 hours without water and my back is just no longer amenable to hoisting up buckets of water for anything else.

i made this up as i painted on -- an idea of what i see people's offices and desks are when i do the floor inspection at the office (for the health and safety committee). boots and shoes strewn along with papers, books and documents and clutter all over the desk and floor. some people just can't work or think well when the workspace is tidy (like my late boss). others are the opposite. i am in-between the two, sometimes teetering on either extremes.

"clutter" is the prompt for day 10 of the world watercolor month. our talented photographers who also dabble in painting, will TRY to paint in watercolour each day using the prompts here https://365project.org/artsygang/tutorials/2023-06-22 if you want to try, please join us. this is not a competition. and, if you are so inclined, check out the wwcm-2023 tag to see better painting than this.
Nicely done

Mother always said she knew which desk was mine when she visited my office because mine had the look of someone really working. (She never called it clutter). I love this!

Your clutter is all recognisable so you can draw!

Clearly, you can draw. :)

My desk usually looks like that

Yep, that's about what the desk in my study looks like, but you would also have to add a couple of cameras. After a bit I get a bee in my bonnet and clear it all up again but it never seems to be tidy for long :)

Another good example for the word of the day. Nice details.

Oh you can certainly draw and are just as talented as a few other gang members here ;-)

Excellent illustration of clutter , and I am more impressed by the fact that it wasn’t something you actually were seeing

@louannwarren Oh, isn't that the most dear way to frame this!!!! I love it. Thanks for sharing it.
There is also another way to frame this: tidiness is for lazy people: too lazy to look for stuff...
Vikki, cut the crap of 'i cannot draw'. Of course you can. Look at this brilliant rendering of this prompt!!!!
