A Grand Night Out
So this evening, Swansea was buzzing with crowds of arty types milling between no less than 5 galleries opening exhibitions on the same night.

The Coalfield Part 3
Here’s the completed drawing, one of several I did on my visit to Big Pit / Pwll Mawr near Blaenavon last Sunday.

I stood on the grass up above the mining site and after quickly drawing the darker areas of the rugged mountainous landscape of theContinue reading “The Coalfield Part 2”
