I posted these sketchbook scribbles less than a year after I started this blog, back in May 2012. Three of them are of a biker’s funeral at the local Gospel Hall, then there are random people and my little great-nephew, who is much bigger now and got married a few weeks ago.

Wicked Foreshortening.
Here’s another sketch I did yesterday when Husb and our little relative were throwing axes at Lumberjack. It was good practice for me to sketch the odd positions that I wouldn’t normally see. There’s some wicked foreshortening going on with that axe arm, took me ages but I got it in the end. It’s definitelyContinue reading “Wicked Foreshortening.”
The Littlest Axe Chucker.
Husb and I took a young relative to our local axe-chucking centre earlier this evening, they chucked axes and I had a scribble. Here he is, he’s at that stage of shooting up and being very skinny. He did pretty well with the axes.

I posted these sketches on my blog through April 2012. It’s nice looking back at these memories; our niece now all grown up, a visit to see the giraffes in Folly Farm, a windy walk on the beach…
After A Chippy Tea.
I went out this evening after an early chippy tea, to a meeting of an arts group I’m a member of. Of course, I had to have a scribble… There was cheese there. I ate some cheese. In fact, I ate a lot of cheese. Not a good idea after a chippy tea. Now I’mContinue reading “After A Chippy Tea.”

Here’s a selection of sketches I first posted in March 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples going back years. These are drawings en plein air. I seemed to do a lot more back then. I think IContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 7”
Joio! Enjoy!
The mini-festival that Husb and I went to over the weekend is part of the annual Swansea Bay Live events characterised by the logo “Joio / Enjoy”, put on by Swansea Council during holiday times. I had a few scribbles while I was listening to the excellent local band Disco Panther.
Blokes At A Festival.
I spotted these three blokes of a certain age at the Amplitude Festival, a weekend of films and bands at Swansea’s Amphitheatre. They were having a nice time. Of course I had to scribble them. I love sketching at gigs, the music makes it seem like it’s not like hard work. It is, but the music takesContinue reading “Blokes At A Festival.”
Forty Years Later…
There’s an amphitheatre behind the leisure centre in Swansea and back in the 1980s there were loads of free live gigs there. Then for some unknown reason they stopped and the amphitheatre has been empty and forlorn since the mid-80s. Until this Friday when Swansea citizens have been treated to a weekend of films andContinue reading “Forty Years Later…”
A Day Out In Mid Wales…
Husb and I went for a drive over the weekend and wound up in the little village of Llanddewi Brefi and then onto the small town of Tregaron. We stopped for a soft drink in a local pub and I drew this fantastic inglenook fireplace. The drawing of Husb is awful, he’s much better looking,Continue reading “A Day Out In Mid Wales…”
