Preseli Rain
Husb and I set out from Swansea this morning to visit friends living in the Preseli Mountains in Pembrokeshire. It was a glorious warm, sunny day when we left but within a couple of hours of reaching the Preselis, we were hit by severe gales and torrential rain. We managed a quick walk before theContinue reading “Preseli Rain”
Mood And Mosquitos
I’ve been sorting through the stuff I brought home from my recent residency in Pakistan. I left some of my prints behind in an exhibition at the Satrang Gallery in Islamabad but I also did a lot of drawings and I’ve been photographing and cataloguing them. I did around half a dozen quick impressionisticContinue reading “Mood And Mosquitos”
Quick Scribbles
Went for a good walk today, taking in a couple of parks and the beach and we stopped at the little cafe on the promenade where I did a scribble into my small spotty sketchbook. Then took a walk around the city centre where I scribbled a few people standing at a traffic crossing. They’reContinue reading “Quick Scribbles”
Up The Mountains
Here are some more quick impressionistic landscape sketches that I did during my recent printmaking residency in Rawalpindi. We were travelling through the mountains outside Islamabad. I averaged about 6 minutes a sketch, using Daler Rowney soft pastels into my Khadi sketchbook. The residency was supported by Wales Arts International and Arts Council Wales

The Ghost And The Fishermen
I produced two new monotypes during my recent residency in Pakistan. The technique also gives a ghost image as well as a full-colour one. Impressionists such as Degas and Monet used to work over their ghost monotypes with pastels and if it’s good enough for them…… Here’s the ghost of ‘Footfall At Taxila’. I appliedContinue reading “The Ghost And The Fishermen”

Every once in a while I check Google for my name and see what come up. I browse through multiple pages and click links that I’ve not seen posted before. Friday, I ran across a class taught at the Virginia Arts of the Book Center using…
Last Night In Islamabad
We went to a literary festival in Islamabad on our last evening and as usual, I had a scribble. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 and saved the drawing regularly to show the different stages, using a free Markers app. This lady was sitting in front of us. My residency in the ZairaContinue reading “Last Night In Islamabad”
