I went to a quiz night at the Jam Jar bar the other evening. It was the first time I’ve done a digital quiz – it was hilarious. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I saw a very striking looking young woman across the bar, in a rival team , and sketched herContinue reading “Face Across A Room 1.”

Scribbling In The Cheese.
I had a couple of days in London last week with work, and I went with some of my colleagues on an evening walking tour of the historic pubs of old London. It was brilliant, good fun and so full of history and interest. The guide was brilliant and showed us lots of the tinyContinue reading “Scribbling In The Cheese.”
A Quickie Down The Pub.
Popped into our local pub, The Brunswick Inn, for a couple of hours a few evenings ago with some family, listening to the acoustic live music and just chatting, like things were before Covid19. Of course I had a quick scribble …… A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprintsContinue reading “A Quickie Down The Pub.”
Watching And Scribbling.
Husb and I went out to a gig last night, a local venue to see a local musician and poet, Jack Jones of the band Trampolene, doing a solo acoustic gig. It was great, really lively. Of course, I had to have a scribble. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have someContinue reading “Watching And Scribbling.”

Catching Up
Today I hung out with my young niece. Her phone charger broke last night so we went into the city to get a new one. When we got home, she had to catch up with the world which gave me a chance to sketch her on the settee, having an extended sesh on social media.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Prepping
After doing so much painting during the pandemic lockdown, with the irrepressible Ed Sumner of the Cheese and Wine Painting Club, I decided I’d do more painting this year, but self- generated ones, portraits of friends and family. So I’m making a start with Husb. My first step is to do preparatory sketches, to getContinue reading “Prepping”
Drawing More Darkness In The Darkness
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”
