I started faking this painting by Henri Matisse about 4 weeks ago, with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook. I started doing these fakes when Ed began the sessions early in lockdown back in Spring 2020. It was easier then because it was, well, lockdown and I had a lot ofContinue reading “Another Fake To Finish”

A Bit More Faking
Here’s a little bit more of the fake I’m working on at the moment; part of my Xmas relaxation routine. It’s a copy of a painting by Wassily Kandinsky, Autumn Landscape with Boats, when he was making the transition to becoming an Abstract artist. Still a fair bit of work to do, though. I startedContinue reading “A Bit More Faking”
A Fake At Christmas
I joined in with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club Christmas disco on Zoom a few days ago. We painted a seascape by Kandinsky and listened to a cool Xmas disco. Here’s my painting at an early stage – loads more to do yet. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I haveContinue reading “A Fake At Christmas”
Horizontals, Verticals, Diagonals
Sketching in the streets around Waun Wen, I stopped and scribbled this little arrangement of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. I suppose you could say that most vistas in a built environment are horizontal, vertical and diagonal. And you’d be right 😀 A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprintsContinue reading “Horizontals, Verticals, Diagonals”
Bit Of A Challenge
As I walked the streets of the Waun Wen area of the city on Sunday, scribbling into my sketchbook, I came across a landslip. Some of the little streets snaking up the steep hillside are perched on top of towering terraces, and this one had collapsed, leaving 3 houses without their front gardens and pilesContinue reading “Bit Of A Challenge”
Shadow Tree
I spotted this shadow tree when I was walking and drawing around Waun Wen recently, cast on a wall in the bright sunshine. These quiet walks are part of the Home & Hinterland arts project sponsored by Swansea University. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspiredContinue reading “Shadow Tree”
Nooks And Crannies
Walking around Waun Wen on Sundays, scribbling into my tiny sketchbook, I find odd little nooks and crannies that I’d never seen, places that are usually passed by unnoticed. Many British cities and towns have them because they developed organically at times, before rigid town planning systems were imposed. This drangway, almost hidden from theContinue reading “Nooks And Crannies”
It’s Got Potential
Here’s another tiny sketch from my tiny sketchbook from one of my drawing walks around Waun Wen on Sunday. These little scribbles are very quick, fleeting snapshots that I can look at later to see if I want to go back and do something more complex. It’s a different way of seeing something than takingContinue reading “It’s Got Potential”
Four Seagull On Four Rooftops
Walking around Waun Wen on Sunday, stopping and scribbling, I noticed these four seagulls on four rooftops in a row, stepping steeply down the hilly street of Rockland Terrace. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antique taxidermy collection at SwanseaContinue reading “Four Seagull On Four Rooftops”
Still Scribbling….
Here’s another scribble sketch I did in last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I’m keeping things simple for a while. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antique taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these vintageContinue reading “Still Scribbling….”
