A weird thing happened after Husb and I visited some friends the other night. As we drove home in the dark, three large black dogs suddenly loomed on the road in front of the car. Husb managed to brake in time and the dogs disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. It was a shock!Continue reading “My drawing blog: Black Dogs After Midnight”

It’s The Dogs…
Here’s an English Bull Terrier I saw on the beach this morning. It was fabulous there; very sunny, the tide fully in and crowds of people enjoying the moment – all too rare in our climate. I don’t often get a chance to draw dogs and he was far more fidgety than my kittehsContinue reading “It’s The Dogs…”

Back To Basics: Drawing a Tortoise!
Enough of all this digital nonsense! Back to basics with my lovely Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens and my cloth bound sketchbook. Today I met a surprisingly fast moving tortoise called Jimmy in Cardiff. Here he is, indulging his cucumber habit.
New Tool
Finally caught up with the 21st century and got a tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. Oooh get Me! So now I’m trying to find my way round the drawing apps. This is my first attempt at a digital scribble. Long-suffering Husb manned up as usual. I love playing with new tools.
Norman & Celtic
Husb and I spent a lovely afternoon in Llandeilo, meeting up with a friend and going for a walk through the woods to the old Dynefwr Castle which dates from the 12th century, Norman times. The heatwave was going full blast and it was really hot by the time we reached the castle so IContinue reading “Norman & Celtic”
OUCH! And Icecream.
Went to Mumbles this morning with Husb and Maminlaw and I FELL OVER! In the street. Just like that with no warning. I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up on the pavement cut, bruised but otherwise no damage except to my pride. There was nothing for it but a medicinal icecream soContinue reading “OUCH! And Icecream.”
Beauty In Death
Husb and I went to the Mission Gallery’s new show opening tonight and nearly fell over with the heatwave after about 10 minutes so we left and strolled along the seafront on our way home and came across this dead bird. It’s some sort of crow and was fairly recently dead as only a coupleContinue reading “Beauty In Death”
Overworked
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop (I took a Victoria Sandwich for tea break) and I concentrated on this one long pose. It’s on an A3 canvas sheet, prepared with scribbly oil bar in yellow ochre. I drew with carbon and white oil pastel. It was a nice pose but difficult withContinue reading “Overworked”
Time For Bed
Had one of those days. Locked myself out of the house this morning, did my admin volunteering at Swansea Print Workshop all afternoon and then went down to the allotment to dig – dug up my garlic. Then I came home and hadn’t done any drawing today so here’s a quickie of Husb at hisContinue reading “Time For Bed”
