Killarny Bar

Husb and I spent some time in Killarny in Ireland yesterday and wandered into a very posh hotel that had live music in the bar. It’s a good opportunity to scribble as people are engrossed in the music. Here are a few of the people there . It’s also a chance to draw an interiorContinue reading “Killarny Bar”

Waiting…

We’ve been having a few days in Ireland and doing a bit of touring. We crossed the Shannon River from Kerry to Clare on the ferry from Tarbert . On the Clare side is a ruined jetty that’s been colonised by cormorants . They sit quietly and wait for the right opportunity to dive forContinue reading “Waiting…”

Long Journey, Scabby Cat

Husb and I started travelling late last night,all the way to the West Coast of Ireland,via ferry and lots of hard driving. We’re in a tiny village near the Shannon river and this scruffy little feral cat has persuaded my relatives to feed him. He’s unapproachable but content to hang out in the garden inContinue reading “Long Journey, Scabby Cat”

It becomes a bit of a mass ofContinue reading “Quick Exercise”

It’s been a good experience to work with such talented artists from Swansea Printmaking Workshop and I’m really excited that these prints are going across theContinue reading “Monotypes Across The Pond”

I’m developing some large-scale drawings, overlaying different types of drawing media. This is brown wrapping paper underneath with tracing parchment on top. TheContinue reading “Window Dressing”

My Dogs Are Barking!

I’m working with artgroup 15 Hundred Lives, at the Creative Bubble Shop in Swansea for 3 days. We’re doing our second ‘What Do Artists Do All Day‘ event. I’m doing another big drawing installation. The aim of these events is for the public to be able to see how artists work; how we create anContinue reading “My Dogs Are Barking!”

Keeping On.

I’m keeping on practicing with the digital drawing and took the tablet to life drawing this evening. I’m not sure I like this drawing but doing it has given me a good idea of what the app is capable of. I like the scribbliness of it but the colour palette isn’t good enough. But I’llContinue reading “Keeping On.”
