I had a very bitty day today and it wasn’t satisfying at all. Started off with admin and stuff to do on the computer, took AGES to book some train tickets online. It would have been quicker to walk to the station and back again! Then Husb and I took a load of rubbleContinue reading “Gallery, Students, Tip.”

Mens’ Heads And Scary Harry Potter
Went to the cinema this evening to see The Artist but because of the daft queueing system, by the time we got to the front, the film had already started so we decided to see The Woman In Black. Now, I’m not a big fan of horror films, but it’s Harry Potter right? Couldn’t beContinue reading “Mens’ Heads And Scary Harry Potter”
Couples And Irony.
We went out for a lovely meal this evening, because it’s Valentine’s Day and because we don’t need much of an excuse to go to PAs in Mumbles, one of our favourite restaurants. Usually when we eat out, we’re surrounded by families, single sex groups, friends on a night out but tonight it wasContinue reading “Couples And Irony.”
Old Friend @ The Etsy Shop.
This is my friend who has come to visit from England for the weekend; we’ve been friends now for over 30 years. We used to riot round the place, painting the town red, hanging out in clubs and pubs so disreputable that they wouldn’t be allowed to exist these days 😉 . Now we entertainContinue reading “Old Friend @ The Etsy Shop.”
Welsh Cakes, Swansea Jack And Ladies Who Lunch.
Managed to catch Husb’s cold so I wasn’t feeling too good at the studio this morning; by midday I had an urge for hot chocolate and a Welsh Cake – unusual because I don’t have a sweet tooth but I’ve noticed that I like chocolate and cakes much more when I’m unwell. I wandered downContinue reading “Welsh Cakes, Swansea Jack And Ladies Who Lunch.”
A Stroppy Fish Out Of Water
Another drawing from my hospital visit yesterday, accompanying my young relative to the ante-natal clinic. It was a weird place, not somewhere I enjoyed being. I thought it was a bit like a meat market if I’m honest. There wasn’t a problem with the medical staff, who seemed very kind, patient and helpful, but theContinue reading “A Stroppy Fish Out Of Water”
Cosy Couple At The Blood Clinic
Today I accompanied a young relative to an appointment at a hospital in a nearby town. The whole process took around two hours, shifting around the hospital to different departments, but I had my sketchbook and a couple of pens so I made good use of the time and no-one was safe from my scribbling.Continue reading “Cosy Couple At The Blood Clinic”
Drawing Miss Buns.
I spent some hours today with my delightful 12-year old great niece, Miss Buns, who hung out in my studio after school. I thought it might be a good idea to draw her so she settled into a big armchair and I started scribbling. Unfortunately, a 12-year old’s idea of ‘keeping still’ is very differentContinue reading “Drawing Miss Buns.”
Getting a new viewpoint
I try to draw every day but it can get boring drawing the same things over and over so Husb is now being reinvented from different angles. I’ve done a few drawings where I’ve been seated and he’s been standing but he hasn’t been too keen of me drawing up his nose so this timeContinue reading “Getting a new viewpoint”
Filthy Weather And A Civilised Pot Of Tea.
Filthy weather today. We were promised snow but as usual, the bit of the Guf Stream that swirls around in the bay made the temperature just slightly too high for the rain to freeze out into snow. So we had freezing rain and driving winds instead. Horrible. Spent the morning at Swansea Print WorkshopContinue reading “Filthy Weather And A Civilised Pot Of Tea.”
