I finished faking Matisse’s painting “Cat And Goldfish” and Husb did a short time lapse film of me working on it from beginning to end. This was the first painting I did with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting club almost a year ago …. had no idea then that lockdown would last this long.Continue reading “A Timelapse of Matisse’s Cat And Goldfish”

And The Cat Came Back ….
This was the very first painting I did with The Cheese And Wine Painting Club on Facebook, way back in May last year, a few weeks after the painter Ed Sumner started it up to relieve the boredom of the first lockdown. Two lockdowns and almost a year later, it’s still going because the pandemicContinue reading “And The Cat Came Back ….”
#Caturday (And #Doggyday)
Here are the family pets from my big painting “Eighteen People, Two Dogs And A Cat”. I painted from screengrabs from our Zoom weekly family quizzes. I tried to keep the paintings close to the actual images as they appeared on the computer, all sorts of weird things happening. My cat looks a bit madContinue reading “#Caturday (And #Doggyday)”
Finished!
Finished! My second original painting since I did Foundation Course at Swansea Art College way back in the 1970s. I’m calling it “Eighteen People, Two Dogs And A Cat” and it’s based on my family’s weekly pandemic Zoom quiz, which has been helping us to stay in touch and to stay sane, if I’m honest.Continue reading “Finished!”
The Cat Looks Bonkers
I’m really cracking on with this big painting now. I hope that a couple more good spurts of activity should get it finished. I concentrated on getting some of the finer features in their place and doing a bit of work on the three animals. The cat looks bonkers. Nothing new there. A Chance ToContinue reading “The Cat Looks Bonkers”
Animals In My Window
Two cats and a mandrill. #thegreatbigartexhibition2021 started recently, encouraging people across the UK to turn windows, balconies, gardens … whatever … into little art galleries. The first theme is animals – here are mine in my bay window. The yellow cat and the mandrill are fakes (Matisse and Rousseau) I painted with Ed Sumner’s CheeseContinue reading “Animals In My Window”
Connecting family
I did some more work on my great big “Family” painting today, based on our weekly Zoom quiz. We’ve been doing it since early in the first lockdown and we’re connecting family in South Wales, North England and Australia. And our pets 😀 I did some more work on people’s features, and also did someContinue reading “Connecting family”
17 People, 2 Dogs And A Cat!
I carried on with my big painting today, working in more of the building blocks of the images. Some of them are pretty spot on but some are really difficult to do as I can’t get my head around the distortion caused by the computer screens and I’m falling into the trap of painting whatContinue reading “17 People, 2 Dogs And A Cat!”

Hello, Rosie Scribblah here. Welcome to my second Podcast. It’s been aContinue reading “Talking About Red”
And The Cat “Helped”
And the cat “helped”. I went back to the two head drawings I did over the past couple of days and did a bit more work into them with black gouache. These are random heads and I’m going to keep building with gouache, colour is next, and see where it takes me. I’ve always lovedContinue reading “And The Cat “Helped””
