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”
Heads ….
Here’s a couple more sketches from out night out at Swansea’s Sin City to see “As December Falls”, looking at heads close up. Good bit of practice. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks.

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.”
Coming Out Of Covid: Ceramics In The Community Centre.
People and Porcelain Spent a lovely afternoon at the community centre in Waun Wen today, working alongside local ceramicist Esther Ley who was running a short workshop, making porcelain cups. It was good to be able to have a small group of people together, within Covid19 restrictions of course. I had to have a quickContinue reading “Coming Out Of Covid: Ceramics In The Community Centre.”
Masked On The Bus
I didn’t go on public transport for ages because of the pandemic, but as the lockdown lifted I started using the bus occasionally to get to Waun Wen for my community arts project. I had to have a scribble of course. Usually there are not many people on the bus and so far everyone I’veContinue reading “Masked On The Bus”
Getting There
Sometimes I walk up to Waun Wen, I live within walking distance, but it’s uphill most of the way – easier on the way back. Sometimes I cadge a lift. And then sometimes I get a bus, but not often because I’m being cautious about the pandemic. Here’s a quick sketch at the central busContinue reading “Getting There”
Newspaper Scribbles
I like drawing on newspaper, it’s free so there’s no fretting over the possibility of spoiling an expensive piece of paper. It’s good for doing quick sketches en plein air when I’m out and about, when I’m drawing from life and have just a few seconds to get something down on the paper before someoneContinue reading “Newspaper Scribbles”
A Face In The Dark
This is the last of my sketches from the Rap gig at The Bunkhouse last week. Drawing in the dark is doubly difficult because it’s hard to see the paper and the marks I’m making and it’s also hard to see the subject. I used the continuous line technique for most of this, it madeContinue reading “A Face In The Dark”
