Husb and I went to a gig the other night ….. more of that in another post. Of course I had to have a quick scribble or two. This is my old mate Peter Crow, who plays with an awesome Gothic Folk Rock band (I hope I got that right) called Wild-Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious.Continue reading “A Head At A Gig…The Hat One”

Travels With My Sketchbook …
I always carry a sketchbook when I travel, I prefer to look at sketches rather than photos, they seem to take me back to that time and place more effectively than a snapshot that took a few seconds to capture. Although the scribbles are quick, they’re slower and take more attention and effort than photos,Continue reading “Travels With My Sketchbook …”
Faces From The Past…
I’ve been taking a stroll through the images I’ve posted on this blog over the years – I’ve been doing it since 2011. It’s been good for me to revisit the work, I tend to ignore sketches once I’ve done them, which is a pity because there’s often some good stuff there. Here are fourContinue reading “Faces From The Past…”
A Blast From The Past…
From 2012, a sketchbook scribble of Oystermouth Castle in Mumbles at the western edge of Swansea. I used to do a lot more drawing en plein air directly into sketchbooks, but I fell out of that daily practice during the Covid19 lockdowns and I haven’t really got back into it. I should, it’s good forContinue reading “A Blast From The Past…”
One From The Archives ….
One of my favourite places is Paviland, a strange otherworldly cove on the coast of the Gower Peninsula which is the site of the Goat’s Hole Cave, famous for the skeleton of the “Red Lady of Paviland“, which is actually a young man. From the main road, it’s a fair walk across fields via aContinue reading “One From The Archives ….”
Elder Heads: 4
The last in my short series of Elder Heads, all women and all showing great strength in the lines draw across their faces by life and experience.
Elder Heads: 3
And another hastily scribbled head of an elderly woman. She looks like she has had the cares of the world on her for many years. Graphite into a Khadi hand-made paper sketchbook.
Elder Heads: 2
Another scribble of an older person, as we get older we often look more like the opposite sex and it can be hard to tell elder men and women apart without cues like clothing, jewellery, make-up. I’ve used a graphite block into a Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.
Elder Heads: 1
I guess it’s my age, I get to go places where there are lots of elders these days. I used to go places where there were lots of younger people. When I was younger LOL 😀
Price Of Change.
Husb and I went to the theatre the other week – ooh there’s posh isn’t it?! We saw a new play by Contemporancient Theatre, Price Of Change. It’s about the 18th Century Welsh philosopher and mathematician, Dr. Richard Price of Llangeinor in the Garw Valley. He is hardly known here in his own country, weContinue reading “Price Of Change.”
