Face To Face With A Dead Horse

Husb and I are spending a few days in The Lake District with family and I have taken a break from drawing.  It’s great scenery around here but I’m not much of a landscape person to be honest, I’d rather draw cityscapes.  I did a lot of drawings last weekend at Gellionen Chapel’s Mari Lwyd event, here’s a close up of the Mari’s head. Quite gruesome I suppose if you’re not used to the tradition,  but the Mari Lwyd is really funny in ‘person’.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D

  1. wow, these are really powerful drawings Rosie, they really bring out the scary side of the Mari Lwyd! I love they way the look so alive but are also grinning skulls – yikes1
