I spent a couple of days in Bath earlier this week, invigilating at the Commensalis group show at the Octagon, part of Fringe Arts Bath. It’s a long day so I entertained myself by drawing on my Galaxy Tablet Note 8. The Octagon is a beautiful old chapel. I don’t generally draw buildings, I’m muchContinue reading “Bath Building”

Caffeine And Pasties
I’ve just got back from 2 days in Bath, invigilating the group show I’m in with the Commensalis collective at The Octagon on Milsom Street, which is venue number 8 at Fringe Arts Bath.

Today I worked on some new littleContinue reading “Mini Monos”
Knickerbocker Glory
So Husb and I took the little nephew for his first Knickerbocker Glory today. He’s been hassling for one for a few years and Husb promised to get him one when he turned 10. Today was the day.

Romantic Rosehill
A hot sunny British Bank Holiday. Inconceivable! But here it was so Husb and I went for a stiff walk up to Rosehill Quarry, where I stopped awhile to draw the view over the Cretan Labyrinth, was cut into the turf in 1987 by Bob Shaw and a team of local volunteers. I don’t findContinue reading “Romantic Rosehill”
