Here’s another drawing in the dark I did last weekend at a small arts festival, “Kilvey Ole”, I went to on one of Swansea’s hillsides. It was very dark there so I could hardly see the paper or the marks I was making. But also, the people and things I was drawing were in darknessContinue reading “Drawing More Darkness In The Darkness”

Drawing Darkness In The Darkness
Husb and I went to a mini-festival on one of the city’s hills last weekend. It was very dark and we wandered in and out of small barns listening to music and poetry. I had a go drawing the darkness in the darkness. I couldn’t see the paper I was drawing on so had noContinue reading “Drawing Darkness In The Darkness”
Plygain, Welsh Cakes And Three Mari Lwyds
Husb and I went to a Plygain celebration this evening which was interrupted by no less than three Mari Lwyds. It was a very 21st century mixture of Christianity and Paganism, good fun and lots of Welsh cakes. Grand. Of course, I had to have a quick scribble. A Chance To Own One Of MyContinue reading “Plygain, Welsh Cakes And Three Mari Lwyds”
Spoons, Screenprints And So Long
I’ve been a bit quiet on my blog for a few days, been busy with the last of my arts project in the Waun Wen area of the city. Today was the final session, saying so long to the residents and other artists who have been getting involved over the past 15 weeks and collectingContinue reading “Spoons, Screenprints And So Long”
The Blues On A Sunny Day
Just a few more days left of my residency in the Waun Wen area of the city and Dan McCabe from Swansea’s Glynn Vivian Art Gallery came up and did a fab session about indigo dyeing with some local residents. It’s the topic of one of their latest exhibitions. The weather’s been awful recently, threeContinue reading “The Blues On A Sunny Day”

I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antique taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I haveContinue reading “Heads ….”
Venus In Sin City.
Gigging and Scribbling. Husb and I went to Sin City, our local gig venue the other night, to see a band new to the both of us, “As December Falls” and supports. It was a cracking night out. I had to have a scribble of course. Neolithic Venuses. I did some quick continuous line drawingsContinue reading “Venus In Sin City.”
With Splodges!
Here’s the other quick painting I did when I dropped into University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids (AKA Swansea Art College) yesterday to try my hand at hard edge acrylic painting, using ripped masking tape, spray paint, bubble wrap and a pipette onto paper. I prefer it to the other one, there’s more going on.Continue reading “With Splodges!”
An Open Mind.
I dropped in to University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids, or as I still call it, Swansea Art College, this afternoon for a practice session doing hard edge acrylic painting. I haven’t done anything like this before, it was fun. I used ripped masking tape and spray paint onto canvas. I’ve never used spray paintContinue reading “An Open Mind.”
Four So Far.
Wait And See. Four of my screenprints of Waun Wen manholes have two colours printed so far. There’s one more with just one colour, so the second colour will be screened later this week. And then they’ll all have some text overprinted but you’ll have to wait and see ….. Part of the Home and HinterlandContinue reading “Four So Far.”
