Drawing Baby Boomer portraits has been such a good experience, I’ve learned so much, developed my skills and techniques, pushed my materials, and gained a greater understanding of how different faces are. I know that sounds like stating the obvious, but even people who have a similar stamp, even people who are related, when youContinue reading “Strength / Cryfder”

A Tidy Tea
I held a ‘Tea With The Artist’ event at The Workers Gallery at the weekend, part of my solo show “Yr Helfa / The Hunt“. It was lovely and lots of people came along, from as far afield as Bristol and Birmingham, Cardiff and Swansea as well as local people. That meant a lot toContinue reading “A Tidy Tea”

The Replacements
And another lovely Baby Boomer, willing to sit for a thirty minute portrait sketch. It’s not easy to sit still and silent and have someone staring hard at you but it’s so interesting for me to be spending this time sketching and drawing. This is turning into so much more than a drawing project. I’mContinue reading “The Replacements”
Tea And Cake And Art And Stuff
Lashings of home made cakes and savouries, tea, coffee and art at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir on Saturday afternoon, 10th September. Please call in and join me for a cuppa. Would be lovely to see you there 😀
Stalking The Prehistorian
Since February, I’ve been stomping across the wild places of South Wales hunting the wild megalith, stalking prehistorian Dewi Bowen and filmaker Melvyn Williams. I’ve been drawing as I’ve gone along and these drawings have just opened in my first solo show at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. Melvyn has been filming throughout the months andContinue reading “Stalking The Prehistorian”

BUT, we’re not having an opening event, instead we’re having a HIGH TEA on Saturday SeptemberContinue reading “Shameless Self Promotion”
The Birkrigg Druids
Here’s another of the drawings I did recently at the Birkrigg stone circle in Cumbria. It’s a magical place and I was lucky with the weather – brilliant sunshine in an otherwise wet and dreary summer. It was unusually clear and we could look out across the sea to Blackpool in the middle distance andContinue reading “The Birkrigg Druids”
The Druid’s Temple
I spent a few days in glorious sunshine in The Lake District in Cumbria last week and I just happened to be staying a few minutes walk from Birkrigg Common where there is a lovely Neolithic double stone circle, The Druid’s Temple. Double stone circles are rare so it was a treat to be ableContinue reading “The Druid’s Temple”
