A totally lazy day today. It’s Sunday, it’s Xmas time and Husb, the cats and I did absolutely nothing all day. Except a spot of cooking, watching mindless telly and Facebooking. Here’s a quickie of Husb doing nothing. Drawn with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app in about 10 minutes.

A Winter Visit
It’s a bit of a tradition at this time of year to visit our dead loved ones in cemeteries and memorial gardens. I went with Husb and Mam-in-Law to visit Dad-in-Law’s memorial stone in our local cemetery. It’s a lovely place, green with lots of trees and the noonday winter sun was low in theContinue reading “A Winter Visit”
Lazy Day
Apart from a visit to some delightful relatives, today’s been a lazy day. Yesterday was such lovely weather that Husb and I walked about 8 kilometres along the seafront in Swansea. Today we woke up to torrential rain and high winds so now this evening we’re cwtched at home behind tightly drawn curtains watching television.Continue reading “Lazy Day”

Catacombs & Xmas
Following on from yesterday’s post, here are a couple more sepia drawings I did based on sketches from the St. Paul’s Catacombs in Rabat in Malta. The originals are very slight, quick scribbles. I wanted to try working with the walnut husk ink I made a few weeks ago. I don’t normally work with wetContinue reading “Catacombs & Xmas”
Sepia Catacombs
You never know where and when you’ll get inspiration from. Husb and I visited Malta last week and I carried my sketchbooks, scribbling as we trekked across the lovely island. But it wasn’t until late in our stay that we visited the early Christian catacombs in Rabat. They are extraordinary and I feltContinue reading “Sepia Catacombs”
Doggy Scribbles
This is Cookie the boxer dog. Husb and I visited her this evening. She pestered the life out of me until I got my sketchbook out. Then she fidgeted and did her best to ignore me. Pffft! Drawn into my Tate Gallery sketchbook with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens sizes F and M.
Maltese Cats Revisited
Revisiting My Sketchbook I’ve been looking through some of my old blog posts, there are over 3,000 of them, and it’s hard to remember all the artwork I’ve posted. Here’s one from just after Husb and I came back from a short holiday in Malta, a gorgeous place, full of cats. I put some watercolourContinue reading “Maltese Cats Revisited”
Yellow And Red
Husb and I were sitting on an archaic bench in Valetta a few days ago so I had a scribble. Most of Malta is built from stone quarried on the island. It’s a yellowish limestone, a similar colour to the stone used to build Bath. Right at the bottom of a jumble of tall, skinny,Continue reading “Yellow And Red”
Big Boned Gals
Husb and I spent last week in Malta, a fabulous country with loads of ancient history stuff to enjoy. We visited the excellent National Museum of Archaeology in Valetta and saw these Neolithic statues, found in local ancient stone temples, about 6 thousand years old. They definitely liked the larger lady back in thoseContinue reading “Big Boned Gals”
