Husb and I took a ride down to the Fountain Fine Art gallery in Llandeilo today to drop off 10 of my etchings for the forthcoming exhibition of emerging Welsh artists, opening on Saturday 23rd February. It’s been a fine, bright day and after so much time spent indoors recently because of the lurgi, it was nice to stand in the main street for a while and sketch some of the odd, quirky little buildings. It’s a lovely town, built higgledy-piggledy on a hill above a classic meandering river that winds through a lush green flood plain dotted with little oxbow lakes. It reminds me of school geography lessons.
Then we drove back along the A40 through Dryslwyn, Carmarthen and past Kidwelly, a glorious route, swinging by Saith Gallery in Burry Port which is showing a marvellous exhibition of collages by Melanie Ezra. They also serve excellent tea and homemade cake in their little cafe. Both galleries, and their little towns, are well worth a visit.
Drawn with Pentel V5 and Faber Castell Pitt pens into my A6 blue silk recycled sketchbook.

Beautiful building! Love the corner brickwork and all the cornicing (sure that’s not the wor, but you might know what I mean!)
Thanks, it’s a lovely little town
Great sketch – the red ribbon bookmark becomes part of it!
Thanks, I love quirky bits in sketchbooks
Lovely sketch. I like the way you have cropped your view for this.
Thanks. It’ hard to draw buildings without making it look like an architectural drawing, so I try to zoom in on a quirky little bit.
