Here’s The Husb indulging one of his favourite pastimes today, lying on the settee watching an international Rugby match on the TV. Of course Wales was playing. And Wales won. So he’s a very, very happy Husb. Final score Wales 27, Scotland 13. Well played, excellent game, minimal shouting and swearing from the region ofContinue reading “Watching The Rugby”

Old Friend @ The Etsy Shop.
This is my friend who has come to visit from England for the weekend; we’ve been friends now for over 30 years. We used to riot round the place, painting the town red, hanging out in clubs and pubs so disreputable that they wouldn’t be allowed to exist these days 😉 . Now we entertainContinue reading “Old Friend @ The Etsy Shop.”
The Work Behind THE WORK
An artist friend recently opened an Etsy shop and posted a link on Facebook. Her work is lovely, but one FB ‘friend’ posted that it was way too expensive. I was very irritated by this as I thought it very reasonably priced – each piece is original and beautifully made. I was reading some stuffContinue reading “The Work Behind THE WORK”
Welsh Cakes, Swansea Jack And Ladies Who Lunch.
Managed to catch Husb’s cold so I wasn’t feeling too good at the studio this morning; by midday I had an urge for hot chocolate and a Welsh Cake – unusual because I don’t have a sweet tooth but I’ve noticed that I like chocolate and cakes much more when I’m unwell. I wandered downContinue reading “Welsh Cakes, Swansea Jack And Ladies Who Lunch.”
A Stroppy Fish Out Of Water
Another drawing from my hospital visit yesterday, accompanying my young relative to the ante-natal clinic. It was a weird place, not somewhere I enjoyed being. I thought it was a bit like a meat market if I’m honest. There wasn’t a problem with the medical staff, who seemed very kind, patient and helpful, but theContinue reading “A Stroppy Fish Out Of Water”
Cosy Couple At The Blood Clinic
Today I accompanied a young relative to an appointment at a hospital in a nearby town. The whole process took around two hours, shifting around the hospital to different departments, but I had my sketchbook and a couple of pens so I made good use of the time and no-one was safe from my scribbling.Continue reading “Cosy Couple At The Blood Clinic”
Drawing Miss Buns.
I spent some hours today with my delightful 12-year old great niece, Miss Buns, who hung out in my studio after school. I thought it might be a good idea to draw her so she settled into a big armchair and I started scribbling. Unfortunately, a 12-year old’s idea of ‘keeping still’ is very differentContinue reading “Drawing Miss Buns.”
Getting a new viewpoint
I try to draw every day but it can get boring drawing the same things over and over so Husb is now being reinvented from different angles. I’ve done a few drawings where I’ve been seated and he’s been standing but he hasn’t been too keen of me drawing up his nose so this timeContinue reading “Getting a new viewpoint”
Filthy Weather And A Civilised Pot Of Tea.
Filthy weather today. We were promised snow but as usual, the bit of the Guf Stream that swirls around in the bay made the temperature just slightly too high for the rain to freeze out into snow. So we had freezing rain and driving winds instead. Horrible. Spent the morning at Swansea Print WorkshopContinue reading “Filthy Weather And A Civilised Pot Of Tea.”
Another Pal Scribbled!
I’ve signed up to the 28 day drawing challenge on Facebook and I’m trying to draw a person each day instead of an inanimate object. I don’t want to repeat myself so I’m going to try not to do husb and myself more than once. However, in this age of social networking and given theContinue reading “Another Pal Scribbled!”
