Here’s one from the archives for #StandingStoneSunday. I can’t remember when I did this, probably around 10 years ago. I marbled some paper in my studio, in tones of grey and took some of it with me when Husb and I visited the spectacular Pentre Ifan monument in Pembrokeshire. I drew onto it with blocksContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday : Pentre Ifan”

From My Archives: Concertina Screenprint
Here’s a screenprinted concertina booklet I made in 2018, 2 years BC (Before Covid) at a weekend workshop with the inspirational Kelly Stewart. I used motifs from my collaborative project with Dewi Bowen and Melvyn Williams, Hunting The Wild Megalith. Kelly will be running another weekend of screenprinting at Swansea Print Workshop at the endContinue reading “From My Archives: Concertina Screenprint”
National Gallery On My Telly: 3.
Another drawing from Tuesday’s televised life drawing session from the National Gallery in London, drawn from my settee. These two models held a 20 minute pose which wasn’t long enough for me to get the basics of both of them. The lower one is lying in an awkward position on the lap and it was really difficultContinue reading “National Gallery On My Telly: 3.”
National Gallery On My Telly: 2.
Another drawing from last night’s televised life drawing session from the National Gallery in London, drawn from my settee, I could happily do this more often. This model held a 14 minute pose and I drew with conte crayons in black, sanguine and white into a spiral bound, A3, brown paper sketchbook. Working onto a light brownContinue reading “National Gallery On My Telly: 2.”

Triples: Blocks and Lines.
I added some juicy colours to my 5 paintings of “Triples”, blocking in tangerine and green, and did some more linear work on their facial features, building them up gradually. The idea came originally from the triple goddess of Celtic mythology, The Morrigan is one of her legends, but with a modern twist. I’m using Somerset paper (300 gsm, 56Continue reading “Triples: Blocks and Lines.”
#StandingStoneSunday: A Favourite.
It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and I’m posting an old favourite, Y Garreg Coch (The Red Stone) in Carmarthenshire.
Triples: Orange Snakey Bits.
Carrying on with my “Triples” paintings today, I’m trying to do a bit each day, working on all five. I’m painting onto large sheets of Somerset paper (300 gsm) with lovely deckled edges. I prepared the paper first with acrylic gesso to seal the surface and give it some extra strength. I’m not fussed aboutContinue reading “Triples: Orange Snakey Bits.”
More Triples.
I did a bit more work on my 5 paintings, each of 3 women or girls. The idea came originally from the triple goddess of Celtic mythology, with a modern female gaze from me. I’m enjoying working on 5 paintings at once, I’ve never approached my work in this way before. I’m using Somerset paper (300 gsm, 56 xContinue reading “More Triples.”
