The picture below was taken at Cologne Station en route to Berlin. It’s Cologne Cathedral taken through the station roof. The German trains are lovely and the train food is fantastic. I’m in Germany on an artist residency with three other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins and Rhiannon Rees with support from WalesContinue reading “Travelling is half the fun”

It’s A Dirty Job…
I’m heading to Germany in a few days, to do an artist residency with three other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins and Rhiannon Rees. We are all members of AGOR Abertawe, that has been set up to facilitate creative activity between women artists in Swansea / South Wales, and the Brandenburg area. We’llContinue reading “It’s A Dirty Job…”
Sketchbook Archives: 5
Back to January 2012, when I posted these to my blog. They weren’t all drawn then though. I started the blog in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings so I was choosing from several years worth of scribbles when I first began blogging.
A Short Film Of My Sketchbooks…
Husb made a short film of a lot of my sketchbook drawings. Many artists draw in sketchbooks but they’re rarely made public. So please have a look 😀
Sketchbook Archives: 3 (NYC)
I started this blog back in 2011 and I was delighted when, by the end of the first week, my statistics showed that 12 people – TWELVE – had read it. I was so excited. I’m still excited by it 13 years and around 4,300 posts later. And thrilled by the many people who nowContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 3 (NYC)”
Sketchbook Archives: 2
Here’s a few of the sketches I did en plein air back in September 2011, in the earliest days of this blog. I used to be out and about so much, scribbling away into my sketchbooks, but the Covid19 pandemic restrictions disrupted that and I haven’t really got back into it. I sketch at gigsContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 2”
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 …”
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 ….”
One From The Archives: Bannau Brycheiniog.
Here’s a scribble from an old sketchbook, a walk on Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) on a sunny but misty afternoon about 8 years ago. I used a range of grey pastels mostly on their side into a black ringbound sketchbook.
The Name Of The Stone …
I’ve been looking at Google maps recently, exploring the city online and finding interesting nooks and crannies. I knew about this Bronze Age stone in Bon-y-maen, to the North East of the city, and I have even visited and drawn it, but I never really gave much thought to the area around it. The nameContinue reading “The Name Of The Stone …”
