It’s been a gorgeous day, sunny and warm but not too warm, Autumnal. Husb and I hopped in the car around 4.30 and headed off out of the busy centre to Penllegare Woods, a truly magical place on the outskirts of the city. We spent an hour or so walking through the beautiful woodland, pastContinue reading “A Walk In The Woods”

#Caturday: Just Scribbling
It’s getting stormy outside, Autumn is definitely here so Husb and I and cwtched inside the house with the cats. I had a quick scribble when Sparta Puss sat next to me. She was looking a bit cross, but that’s not unusual for her!
Wicked Foreshortening.
Here’s another sketch I did yesterday when Husb and our little relative were throwing axes at Lumberjack. It was good practice for me to sketch the odd positions that I wouldn’t normally see. There’s some wicked foreshortening going on with that axe arm, took me ages but I got it in the end. It’s definitelyContinue reading “Wicked Foreshortening.”
Tart And Dumplings
It’s Autumn! Time for Autumn food. I have been given some windfall cooking apples and I had a few very ripe plums so I got the butter out of the fridge, made some pastry and turned the fruit into four apple dumplings and a large plum and apple tart. I would have drawn them, butContinue reading “Tart And Dumplings”
50 Shades Of Brown
Yesterday, Husb and I went to the launch of the latest exhibition, Of Site And Song, at the lovely Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. This gorgeous venue recently celebrated its first birthday. It used to be the village library but it was closed down because of austerity cutbacks and artists Gayle Rogers and Chris Williams reopenedContinue reading “50 Shades Of Brown”
Green Man And Apples
Husb and I went to Llanelli this evening, to the newish Theatr Fwrness to see a performance of Autumn Fires by local storytellers Carl Gough, David Pitt and Eleanor Shaw. “As we descend into the darkness of winter we gather by the fire, yet that flame which ensures our survival still reduces us to ashContinue reading “Green Man And Apples”
Allotment Break
I spent almost all of September at The Bagpuss Window, a semi-derelict shop that became a spontaneous artspace for a few weeks before demolition. Ironically, after our awful summer of torrential rain, September was glorious and I was stuck indoors for most of it. I took the keys back to the owners last Thursday andContinue reading “Allotment Break”
The Tiniest Scribble
Today was hectic. So packed I didn’t have time to think. I only managed a tiny little sketch, a few fleeting minutes in a cafe. But any drawing is good. The important thing is to do it every day. In my opinion. I used a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my A5 leatherbound SteampunkContinue reading “The Tiniest Scribble”
Slumped In The Sand
Husb and I have taken a few days off work for a bit of a holiday and have never been busier! We have had some little relatives staying and that’s when we realise the advantages of living near the sea. Small children love the beach, it’s free and there are plenty of people to sketchContinue reading “Slumped In The Sand”
Ruffled Feathers
It’s getting cold, it’s very rainy and the poor pigeons are huddling together, ruffling their feathers against the awful Autumn weather. They’re clustered on the parapet next to the landing at the studios, opposite the old Albert Hall. They also hang out on the pavement outside the flower shop below, because people feed them.Continue reading “Ruffled Feathers”
