A Snippet Of Inspiration

Another snippet of my collaboration with the artist Unity….about the women who have inspired our art …. something that will be revealed on International Women’s Day ……. see below …..

It’s International Women’s Day in just under a week and I’m collaborating with the artist Unity on a new piece for the exhibition at Swansea’s Cinema & Co. The concept is based on those women who have influenced us creatively. The finished piece will be 1.5 x 1 metres and on canvas, which I’mContinue reading “Stretching My Creativity”

A sketch of a friend relaxing in a chair, using sanguine and white conté crayons and a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size M into my A4 hardbacked sketchbook that I had previously prepared with pieces of brown wrapping paper stuck in with Pritt gluestick. Relaxed pose, relaxed drawing.

A Delicate Tracery

I spent an hour or so making drawings of the same tree during my visit to Dinefwr Park last Sunday. I’ve never tried drawing a single tree before and certainly hadn’t done several studies. It was interesting moving around the tree and drawing from different angles and also varying my use of drawing media.Continue reading “A Delicate Tracery”

Reaching Lustily Skywards

I joined a group of creative women just last Sunday, a women’s circle brought together the artist Fern Smith, a recipient of a Creative Wales Award who has organised “Seven Sundays in Spring: All The Women I’ve Ever Met“. This, the second, was in the 18th century landscape of Dynefor Park in Llandeilo. We walked in silent contemplation inContinue reading “Reaching Lustily Skywards”

Pyjamas And An Early Night

I was out and about in the countryside today, walking and drawing in the Deer Park near Dinefwr Castle in Llandeilo with a group of inspirational women. It was very bright and sunny but also bitterly cold – two pairs of fingerless gloves just to be able to hold the pens and conté crayons. CameContinue reading “Pyjamas And An Early Night”

Collaboration In Progress

Something that’s gestating, something that’s a collaboration with the artist Unity, something that will be revealed on International Women’s Day ……..

Creativity, Comfort And Curveballs

And here’s the final drawing I did at the creative salon organised by the artist Fern Smith, a recipient of a Creative Wales Award . It was the first of “Seven Sundays in Spring: All The Women I’ve Ever Met“ , hosted by the glass artist Chris Bird-Jones. I found it not only creative but also very comforting. LifeContinue reading “Creativity, Comfort And Curveballs”

A Higgledy-Piggledy Gothic Place

Here are two more drawings I did last Sunday at a creative salon for women that I went to. It certainly gave me a creative boost and has helped to gel some ideas for development I’d been mulling around. The salon was organised by the artist Fern Smith, a recipient of a Creative Wales Award who has organisedContinue reading “A Higgledy-Piggledy Gothic Place”
