Another interesting face scribbled across a bar on Friday night, with a ballpoint pen into my A5 sketchbook. I love doing this, capturing these little still moments in people’s lives. Does that make me a voyeur? Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery inContinue reading “Face Across A Room 3.”

Face Across A Room 2
Out on Friday night, saw an interesting face across the bar, had to have a scribble didn’t I? With a ballpoint pen into my leather-bound A5 sketchbook. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operationContinue reading “Face Across A Room 2”
Face Across A Room 1.
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.”

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”
