But is it art? No, it’s rhubarb crumble. I just made it. I picked the rhubarb yesterday in the garden. Husb says it’s a thing of beauty. Then he ate it. With lashings of custard. Then he had seconds. Didn’t last long. I have put my series of drawings en plein air ofContinue reading “But Is It Art?”

Drawing With Liquid Silk
I was out this evening, giving a talk to the lovely people at the Porth Cawl art group and some of them were interested in how I made my home-made walnut ink, so here it is again.

Sketchbooking The Stones
I spent many days between February and August this year travelling across South Wales drawing ancestral stones, which were exhibited in The Workers Gallery in September.
