This continues my small-scale life drawings using Renaissance techniques and materials. Our model sat up high on top of a plans chest and I scrunched my chair quite close, underneath. This gave me a fairly extreme perspective and foreshortening. I deliberately look out for awkward poses because – I’m a masochist? 🙂 I used someContinue reading “New Male Nude [parental guidance]”

Riot Police the untold story
Originally posted on Not So Great Dictator Speaks With Words:
I started making the Lego Riot Police films a few years ago. I’ve only made five because; well to be honest it’s because I’m lazy and I should pull my finger out. Nevertheless a certain theme has emerged which was not apparent in the first…
Tidy Scran
Was a bit busy this morning doing some last minute stuff for this evening’s exhibition [below] so Husb and I went to the Continental Caff for our lunch. It’s what we round here call ‘tidy scran’ which means good, filling, unpretentious home cooking. It’s always full of people having a cooked dinner – traditional BritishContinue reading “Tidy Scran”
Men, Boy, Lego
That’s about it really. Two grown men in a room with a small boy and the biggest binful of Lego I’ve ever seen in my life and they’re soon crawling around making a tower of Babel-ish proportions. Then the little sister knocked it all back down again 🙂
Pies And Leftovers
So we’ve taken down our exhibition in Bath and arrived home, very tired but not much time to rest because next thing is hanging the ‘Leftovers II’ miniature print exhibition that’s come over from the USA, from Wingtip Press in Boise, Idaho. The show opens Tuesday evening at Swansea Print Workshop (7pm if you’re inContinue reading “Pies And Leftovers”
Rain, Reflections And RSI
I was ‘babysitting’ our ‘Commensalis‘ exhibition in Bath on Thursday, sitting opposite one of the old chapel windows and looking at my reflection against the torrential rain outside. During the quieter moments I sketched what I could see. It wasn’t easy because the layers that you see in a reflection are all squashed together. DoesContinue reading “Rain, Reflections And RSI”
Friday The 13th!
I’m up in Bath and it’s a lovely morning, sun shining and birds singing. Poured down yesterday when I was invigilating our exhibition, Commensalis at Walcot Chapel, but I guess that encouraged people to come into the dry. I did this drawing from the inside looking out. Drawing architecture is challenging because I don’t wantContinue reading “Friday The 13th!”
Sun, Stars And Short Sightedness
It’s SUNNY!!!! The deluge of biblical proportions has stopped for a couple of days. It isn’t warm, but the sun is shining. So Husb and I went for a walk on the beach yesterday and finally went for a coffee at the top of ‘The Tower‘; we’d been promising ourselves for ages. It’s a fairlyContinue reading “Sun, Stars And Short Sightedness”
Art, A Mortuary and Beautiful Bath
Yesterday was incredibly busy and tiring; I’m part of a group of six artists from Swansea who travelled to the lovely city of Bath to put up and launch our exhibition, Commensalis. We started packing the car at 7.00 am and arrived back home just before midnight. PHEW! It’s on until Sunday evening and includesContinue reading “Art, A Mortuary and Beautiful Bath”
Sedum And Spartapuss
Today there was sunshine. Lots of sunshine. No rain. I was up and about really early and took a cup of tea into the garden to sit in the sunshine. Sparta the puss had the same idea [without the cup of tea, she prefers milk]. She was sitting sunbathing on a little brick wall behindContinue reading “Sedum And Spartapuss”
