I’m painting scraps of paper to use for collage so each piece might end up being ripped apart when it’s finally used, but while I was photographing them and getting them ready to blog, I realised that they just couldn’t be plonked down at random. Each one has a “best side” and I rotated themContinue reading “Presenting The Picture”

Weird Abstraction
I’m making papers for collage work with scraps of Liquitex acrylic paint and Bockingford paper left over from print projects. It’s not easy for me to just randomly scrape paint on like this, I normally work very figuratively and it’s weird to do something abstract. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I haveContinue reading “Weird Abstraction”
Squiggles For Collage
I’ve been a bit lethargic because of the Covids and my brain is fuzzy so I’ve just been having a bit of a play with paints and paper, daubing squiggles of Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto some really lovely scraps of Bockingford paper that I’m hoping to use at some time for collage. TakingContinue reading “Squiggles For Collage”
Stop Being Soppy!
I’m doing some freelance teaching at the moment, working with a group of adults to develop artworks in collage. Today I was showing them examples of collage using papers that the artists had coloured or marked themselves. I dug out some that I did a while back. Just Materials! Trouble is, I never get roundContinue reading “Stop Being Soppy!”
Scraping And Scribbling
I’m feeling a bit better each day as the Covid19 symptoms are going and I’m getting a bit stronger, and today was the first since the illness started 10 days ago that I’ve been able to think about doing anything remotely arty. Whenever I do a painting, I scrape any leftover acrylic paint onto spareContinue reading “Scraping And Scribbling”
Wipe Out
Still testing positive for Covid19 and still completely wiped out. The other symptoms are gone now, but I’m just so tired that I can’t even work up the energy and motivation to do a quick scribble of the cat! So here’s one I did a while back, for #Caturday. A Chance To Own One OfContinue reading “Wipe Out”
What Next With The Blues?
Husb and I are still recovering from Covid19, the symptoms are more or less gone but we’re both totally exhausted and my brain has turned to mush! I don’t have the energy or thought processes to so any artwork so I took a look at a piece of tie-dye a did a few weeks ago,Continue reading “What Next With The Blues?”
Got The Covids So Here’s A Video
Feeling tired and miserable as I’ve finally been hit with Covid19. The symptoms haven’t been too bad except that I’m exhausted and my brain doesn’t work, so I thought I’d trawl through my YouTube channel (Yes I have one) and post some of my arty videos until I can get doing some proper artwork again.Continue reading “Got The Covids So Here’s A Video”
A Work Of Art From The Freezer
Husb’s favourite pudding is a traditional fruit crumble. He considers a crumble to be a work of art. I’ve been rooting around in the freezer this week and found a stash of fruit in boxes hidden away. So it was gooseberry crumble a few days ago and today I retrieved some organic loganberries, grown onContinue reading “A Work Of Art From The Freezer”
But Is It Art?
I found some of last Summer’s allotment gooseberries in the freezer, so they had to be converted into a crumble! Husb says it’s a work of art. 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 haveContinue reading “But Is It Art?”
