It’s cold and sunny and I’m feeling well enough to go out for an hour or so as long as I don’t overdo it so today I popped down to County Hall to renew our parking permit. I spotted these ladies opposite while I was waiting. They had very similar distinctive noses and chins andContinue reading “Waiting And Brownies”

Oddities
These will give landscape artists a heart attack! I don’t often go out into the ‘wilderness’ and I don’t often use watercolour. Here’s what happened when I did. I think maybe I went to too many wild parties back in the 1980’s 😀 The place is Mewslade Bay on the Gower Peninsular. Absolutely gorgeous valleyContinue reading “Oddities”
Coming Up With Cake
Still got the lurgi but managed a couple of hours out of the house this afternoon with my fellow artists to set up our group show in Swansea Grand’s Artswing, which opens this coming Friday from 7pm. I’ll be making some lush cakes for the event. Sylvie Evans, Graham Parker and yours truly form aContinue reading “Coming Up With Cake”
Cat And The Pencil Museum
Still wrapped up in a blankie indoors getting more and more fed up, which probably means I’m on the mend. I’m fed up drawing the cats and fed up with my drawing pens so I had a scribble with Ming The Merciless into a larger A3 sketchbook and used some Derwent Academy watercolour pencils forContinue reading “Cat And The Pencil Museum”
More Old Life
The dreaded lurgi is getting a little bit better each day but I’m still finding it hard to do much and that includes drawing. My brain’s like mush and doesn’t want to tell my hands what to do, so I’ve been searching through my old sketchbooks to blog some blasts from the past. About 5Continue reading “More Old Life”
Old Life
This horrible lurgi has lasted so long that I’ve missed three weekly life drawing sessions at Swansea Print Workshop. I’ve been cataloguing old work and coming across stuff I’d forgotten about. I went through a phase of drawing with oil pastels into A3 canvas pads, mainly because I’d been given canvas pads for a present.Continue reading “Old Life”
The Cat And The Hat
Ming The Merciless spends most of her time on top of the boiler in the kitchen so she doesn’t feature as much as Sparta in my sketchbooks. But this evening she cwtched up on the footstool, shoving my feet out of the way, so I put Husb’s hat next to her and did some scribbles.Continue reading “The Cat And The Hat”
Wobbly Lurgi Man
I finally went to the doctor today because my lurgi just wasn’t shifting. I had to wait a while so I got stuck in, drawing the chap opposite me in the waiting room. Unfortunately, it was boiling in there and that set off my hideous hacking cough, which made the drawing very wonky. I hadContinue reading “Wobbly Lurgi Man”
Big Paw, Little Boots
I’m past the exhausted, bed-ridden phase of the lurgi and I’m quite alert but the downside is that I’m awake to feel every miserable symptom. The medications don’t seem to be helping much any more so I’m trying to take my mind off it by sketching Husb and his boots. Sparta likes this little blueContinue reading “Big Paw, Little Boots”
Return Of The Lurgi
Ooooffff! Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does with a vengeance. Serves my own right for being complacent and thinking I was well enough to go off playing in the snow instead of nursing the rotten chest infection I had. The next day I was well and truly poleaxed and I’veContinue reading “Return Of The Lurgi”
