Spent all day at the lovely Galerie Simpson on Swansea’s High Street, printing with my new rubber stamp. It’s been developed from a silkscreen print that was based on a drawing I did of the German artist Käthe Kollwitz, one of my heroes.

More of my ‘ideas’ station at my short residency at Galerie Simpson in Swansea’s High Street. I’m planning on taking drawing and print into three dimensions. Via corsetry.

Husb and I had a few days away, visiting friends in the south of England. We drove back today across ancient landscape and stopped for a little while at the most extraordinary Silbury Hill, just as the Autumn sun was setting.
Having a couple of days away and had a wander around Lewes in East Sussex today and chanced upon the White Hart Inn where Thomas Paine was known to have imbibed. His political views apparently inspired American Revolutionaries.
Working on something new in a short residency at the fab Galerie Simpson. Out of my comfort zone, working out the logistics of constructing prints and drawings in three dimensions. Ooooff. I’m a very 2D person!
I’m also continuing my “en plein air” journey of discovery with prehistorian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams as we travel along the route of the legendary Boar Hunt, Y Twrch Trwyth, from the story of Culhwch and Olwen in the Mabinogion, the book of Welsh mythology, researching, filming and drawing the ancient stone monuments along the way.

I’ve been incorporating text into my work on and off for some years – I’m experimenting with some new pens, Uni Pen Fine Line. Looking good. I need pens to be waterproof and lightfast as well as being good to draw with.

And it’s getting difficult to find titles for my Baby Boomer blogs now that I’ve reached number 83 – I think I’ve done every permutation on Baby Boomer that there is! I’m so loving doing these sketches and having conversations with my sitters, discourses that will eventually feed into the final work, which I hope will be on a HUGE scale. But that’s a while off yet.

As I scrutinise the faces of my sitters, all Baby Boomers, all born between 1946 and 1964, it’s obvious that beauty shines through from within, it’s not something that sits on the surface of the skin. It’s a shame that cosmetic surgery is so popular because it’s the life that is lived and reflected upon a face that gives a person beauty, not the surgeon’s knife. This beautiful Boomer is number 82 out of the 100 I intend to draw by the end of the year.
