I’ve been working on a painted portrait of my great-niece for a while now. I pick it up and put it down and leave it for a while. I’ve gone through many stages of underpainting and now I’ve started working on the fine details. Still a fair amount of work to do, but I thinkContinue reading “Getting Down To The Details.”

Bar at the Elysium Gallery.
I did a bit of scribbling last evening in the Elysium Bar. I usually scribble people but I want to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit, so I’m trying different things, like interiors. A while back I copied Manet’s “Bar at the Folies Bergere” so I’m taking some inspiration from there. IfContinue reading “Bar at the Elysium Gallery.”
Psychedelic Mark-Making.
Here’s another little scribble from Elysium on New Year’s Eve. The Felix Subway Band is psychedelic and fast and I really got into the music as I was putting down the marks into my sketchbook. I’m off to Elysium this evening too, for a friend’s birthday. Since lockdown lifted I’ve been cramming in the gigsContinue reading “Psychedelic Mark-Making.”
Felix Subway and the Hat Full of Menace.
Husb and I went out on New Year’s Eve, just enjoying that after all these long lockdowns, we are now able to! We went up to the Elysium Gallery and Bar to party and listen to live music with Bad Shout, Normal Behaviour and The Felix Subway Band. There’s such a brilliant live music sceneContinue reading “Felix Subway and the Hat Full of Menace.”
Mari’s Little Visit.
It’s nearly New Year and the Mari Lwyd is out and about, stalking the land. She comes into her full powers on the night of “Hen Galan”, the “Old” New Year on January 13th, but she’s just having a little visit now to wish you all Blwyddyn Newydd Dda … A Happy New Year.
A Wassail Winner and a Magic Mushroom Hat!
Here’s the last drawing I did at the fundraiser at Cinema & Co.ffee the other night, for the MacMillan Cancer Charity and the Wounded Highlanders. I couldn’t resist scribbling these two, sitting and watching the indoor fire demos. The one on the left was wearing a magic mushroom (fly agaric) hat and won the fancyContinue reading “A Wassail Winner and a Magic Mushroom Hat!”
Scribbling and Indoor Fire…
Here are a couple more sketches I did yesterday evening into my sketchbook at Cinema & Co.ffee, where Husb and I went to a fundraising event for MacMillan Cancer Support and Wounded Highlanders (a veterans’ sports organisation). There was a varied programme throughout the evening including some cool videos and indoor fire demos from DdraigContinue reading “Scribbling and Indoor Fire…”
Hatching Tonight.
Husb and I are just back from Cinema & Co in the city centre, after a fund raiser for the MacMillan Nurses and Wounded Highlanders (a veteran’s charity). More about those tomorrow, it’s late now and I want to catch a quick bit of telly to get me in the mood for sleep. Nos DaContinue reading “Hatching Tonight.”
Recycle, Reuse.
Having a few days off from working on art as it’s holiday season, so I sat down today and caught up with some chores that had been hanging around a while. I sorted some stuff from my wardrobe, old clothes that had been through the smart wear, house wear, garden wear cycle and now needContinue reading “Recycle, Reuse.”
It’s Catmas!
It’s that time of year again when Husb’s digital drawing of the little furry tyrant, Sparta Puss, pops up to wish everyone the greetings of the season. Well, in her own way I guess 😀
