From The Back
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I drew the back view of the model reflected in the large wall mirror. I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free Markers app. I made a pineapple upside down cake for the tea break. It was still warm and welcome on a cold,Continue reading “From The Back”
Hell And Cake
I HATE shopping. It’s my idea of hell, unless I’m buying books or tools. I had to buy some new clothes to replace some that were literally falling to pieces so I spent two hours in shopping hell (Dante knew nothing…NOTHING…) and bought two pairs of leggings, a t-shirt and a sports bra. Result. That’sContinue reading “Hell And Cake”
Baggage!
The lurgi has left me but I’m getting tired very easily and although I had good intentions to go to life drawing this evening, I’m too shattered. So I drew a pile of bags that I’d dumped on the floor instead. I’m so slovenly. I used Pentel V5 and Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens intoContinue reading “Baggage!”
Comfort Food
As I get over the lurgi, poor Husb goes down with it! He’s been looking after me for the past month and it’s my turn now. He needs comfort food so some home-made chicken and vegetable soup followed by a banana cake with Snickers cream. That’s two Snicker bars, melted with a pot of doubleContinue reading “Comfort Food”
Bath And Voyeurs
In between all the photopolymer [solar] plate etching over the last couple of weeks, I managed to proof three blocks I’d cut. They’re the first three of a series based on the concept of the artist as voyeur. I lean out of my second floor studio window and take surreptitious photos of people walking below,Continue reading “Bath And Voyeurs”
Cake And Contrapposto
My hobby is baking cakes. I don’t particularly like eating them but I love making them. I usually make one for life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop on Thursday evenings and tonight did a classic sponge cake filled with home-made strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream. None of it made it back home – theseContinue reading “Cake And Contrapposto”
Chelsea’s Chocolate Cake and Jet Lag in the USA
I love to make cakes; it’s one of the ways I relax. I don’t particularly like eating cake but I love to feed it to other people. Lots of people ask me to make cakes for them and it’s great to go off into the kitchen and concentrate for an hour or so, breathingContinue reading “Chelsea’s Chocolate Cake and Jet Lag in the USA”
