Just a Quickie

Just a quickie, just got back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and it’s late – and cold. I did some 5 minute poses, all on one sheet, in graphite and conte crayon. And I also did a one=hour pose onto a canvas sheet, gessoed in white and primed with rhodamine red litho/relief inkContinue reading “Just a Quickie”

Cwtch The Potential

Swansea Bay’s bid to be the UK City of Culture in 2017, ‘Cwtch The Bid’, wasn’t successful; the result was announced this morning and Hull’s the winner – congratulations to Hull. So tonight’s event back in Swansea was more of a wake than a celebration, but it was very upbeat. One of the nice thingsContinue reading “Cwtch The Potential”

Some of my Muslim neighbours were out in their headscarves and Ugg boots enjoying the celebrations with their kids. AndContinue reading “Scarves, Streaming and Shady Ladies”

A Detail

I’ve spent 2 days working on this at Creative Bubble artspace. It’s a very different experience to normal. Getting away from the studio means that I can try out something completely different, with plenty of wall space to spread out on and loads of interaction with both motivated and talented artists and interested members ofContinue reading “A Detail”

‘What Do Artists Do All Day? IV’

I’m a member of an art collective called 15 Hundred Lives and we have a regular event at the Creative Bubble Artspace in Swansea. We open the door to the public for two days a month and invite people to see what it is that artists do all day. Many people only experience art onceContinue reading “‘What Do Artists Do All Day? IV’”
