Jamming And A Hot Cat

It’s probably been the hottest day of the year so far, in the upper 20sC and the cat is sleeping on a fleecy blanket on top of the hot water boiler! And she wears a fur coat! I ended up in the kitchen for hours making jam. There’s been a glut of blackcurrants on theContinue reading “Jamming And A Hot Cat”

Scribbling Overlay

Husb was hoovering around the house so I followed him with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, scribbling with the free Markers app. He moves fast when he’s doing housework so I had to do speed sketches. It’s a bit cumbersome to keep resetting the little computer box to do new drawings and I didn’tContinue reading “Scribbling Overlay”

Feline Muse

Had another long day behind a computer and ended up sitting in front of the telly quite late with a cat sleeping on my lap. I haven’t done any drawing so far today so the cat will have to be my model. She likes posing. I have used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, withContinue reading “Feline Muse”

Badly Drawn Man

I’ve been really busy with computer stuff and family doings today and I had to snatch a few minutes to do today’s sketch just now. I bought ‘Game Of Thrones’ earlier and here’s Husb reading it on the settee. It’s huge. A lot of what artists make isn’t very good, that’s why old canvasses haveContinue reading “Badly Drawn Man”

Tiny Temper

Heard a lot of noise on the roof around 6pm. Sparta Puss was facing off a very large and angry seagull. Husb and I tried to persuade the cat to come down but she was having none of it, so we left them to it. A few minutes later she came storming into the houseContinue reading “Tiny Temper”

Rain, Rest And A Little Darling

Last night was the opening of the Commensalis group show at The Octagon in Fringe Arts Bath. Husb and I went up for the opening night and took in some of the other venues as well – more than 40 shows in 15 venues until June the 8th and all for free! The traffic backContinue reading “Rain, Rest And A Little Darling”

Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)

I’m having a quick scribble with Husb sat opposite on the settee. I’m using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note with the free Markers app. One advantage of doing a digital drawing is that I can save the stages to show how the drawing develops. It’s not a good likeness but daily drawing is about practice,Continue reading “Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)”

Saucer Eyes

Another day stuck behind a computer, phoning, going to meetings …… it’s a good job that I’ve committed to producing an artblog each day otherwise I’d never get any artwork done! I popped over to The Fox Project again for a look at their photos and came across a little cub with huge saucer eyes.Continue reading “Saucer Eyes”

Monkey Magic

Greetings trained apes. Sparta Puss here. I am now digitised. The idiot she-monkey usually scribbles into a book with sticks with dirt in them but now she’s managed to smear the dirt into the pooter box! It’s Monkey Magic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjQQhH6Jbok (One for the baby boomers 😀 ) She says the smeared dirt looks like me.Continue reading “Monkey Magic”
