Such a busy day. Putting up the new exhibition at Swansea Print Workshop this morning. It’s a gorgeous show of miniature prints from all over the world called Leftovers V. Then Husb and I went down for a much needed session on the allotment, loads of work to do but some harvesting too – potatoes, mint, chard, rhubarb, plums and cooking apples. Fresh food for some days to come. And on top of that, baking cakes for the exhibition tomorrow. We’re opening early evening with a traditional Welsh tea with bara brith, Victoria Sandwich, Welsh cakes and for the first time, I made a gluten-free vegan carrot cake. I’m caked out!
No time for sketching so I’m putting up one of the drawings I did at our life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop on Thursday. This older male model has a very distinctive face that lends itself to bold mark-making with black and white conte crayon onto a rough brown parcel paper.

Hope the opening goes well tonight. Was the GF carrot cake good? Please pass along your recipe!
Lovely head. 🙂
Hiya, opening was lovley, will post more tonight. People enjoyed the GF vegan carrot cake, quite a challenge to make but it went well. I’ll get the recipe to you. Your Labradoodle was very popular 😀
Awh, it’s nice to know the doodle was looked at! I’ll pass the word along to it’s owner, since he’s no longer at our home. Glad it was a good opening! The poster was lovely. Hope the allotment treated you well!
It was lovely. We had a family – friendly opening to encourage a wider audience for the prints. Had loads of stuff from the allotment and dug over 2 raised beds. Fantastic. I love digging.
