Back To Big Boots.

I’m going to be sketching lots of boots for a while, practicing different angles and styles of footwear, doing the groundwork for some future compositions.

Husb and I normally go to metal and rock gigs, but for a change we went along to Mission Gallery in Swansea yesterday to listen to a performance of the Welsh Triple Harp by the harpist (y delynor) Robin Huw Bowen. It was enchanting. I’ve never heard anything like it. Husb and I loved it.Continue reading “Y Delynor: The Harpist”

Humungous Boots!

Just look at these big bad boys! Boots are getting bigger and bigger at gigs, but the legs don’t seem to be growing to fit.

Sketchbook Archives: 41

It’s archive time again, from March 2014. Here are 4 sketchbook scribbles and a sketch on newspaper that I did at a “live” drawing session.

Back At The Bunkhouse: 3

A couple of backs at the Bunkhouse in this little scribble. Husb and I were there over the weekend, it’s a good venue. The man had HUGE trainers.

Back At The Bunkhouse: 2

I saw another back at the Bunkhouse and a side-view too, so I had to have a scribble. Husb and I were there on Saturday night, enjoying some funky vibes.

Back At The Bunkhouse:1

Husb and I went to a gig at The Bunkhouse on Saturday and I had to have a scribble. I saw this guy’s back and wanted to draw him from behind. So I did.

Picnic On The Beach

It was a picnic on the beach a few weeks ago, snatched when we had no idea how long this heatwave was going to last, making the most of it, sandy sandwiches and all.

Joio! Enjoy!

Husb and I went to the Amplitude music festival in Swansea this evening, a free event put on by Swansea Council as part of it’s “Joio! Enjoy!” summer programme. The aim of the festival is to give local talent a chance to reach new audiences. It was fab and I had a scribble, of course.Continue reading “Joio! Enjoy!”

Sketchbook Archives: 40

Technically, not sketchbooks, they’re paintings, although they started out as sketches so I’m stretching it a bit 😀 I made these paintings of fellow Swansea artists between March and May 2014, and in between I spent April on an artist residency in Pakistan. They were exhibited in the Fringe Arts Bath festival later that year.Continue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 40”
