I was in a really foul mood this evening, caught the bad side of Twitter and was raging. So Husb dragged me out for a long, fast walk. We ended up in Cwmdonkin Park which has been one of my favourite places for drawing en plein air during the pandemic. I was still in a temper when I did the drawing, the marks I made with the charcoal are quick, short and angry ….. a bit like me.
A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks
I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artifacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – old fruit nets, bubble wrap and plastic – highlighting the problem of human pollution and how it affects wildlife.

uy my work on the Swansea Print Workshop site please click the image to the left.
In this one, I combine some of the images with snippets of text of things my Nana used to say. She used to take me to Swansea Museum a lot when I was little and I could hear her voice in the back of my head as I was sitting and drawing the birds and bugs.
20 percent of the cost of each screenprint sold goes to support Swansea Print Workshop, which receives no public funding.

Glad M dragged you out! It’s amazing how nature can bring a bit of calm to ones mood. 🌻
Oh yes. I feel so sorry for people trapped in built up cities during this pandemic, with no sight of nature x
Good thing he dragged you out. It’s strangely challenging to drag ourselves away from all that negative stuff at times. At least you got a drawing and a walk put of it.
Yes, I don’t often go on Twitter because it can get really stupid and nasty. Felt much better after a walk and time with Husb’s very dry sense of humour 😀
Funny how our temperaments (even if temporary termperaments!) come out in our artwork.
It’s good for me as I usually plan things, good to let go
