Today was brilliant. Today made me feel like all these years of plugging away at my arts practice is worthwhile. Today I won a prize at The Workers Gallery Open (in Ynyshir) and the GSA 9to90 Open (in Swansea). The Workers Gallery has awarded me a voucher for art materials and a gallery show towardsContinue reading “What A Lovely Day – Twice!”

Finished…For Now
Here’s the slow selfie that I’ve been working on for a while, on and off. It’s more or less finished but I’ve reached that stage where I can’t see the wood for the trees and so I’m going to leave it for a couple of months and look at it again, to see what, ifContinue reading “Finished…For Now”
A Wall Of Portraits.
As well as an artist, I’m also an educator and I love to work in community arts with adults. The 9to90 Creative Community is one I work with a lot and they’re having an exhibition at Elysium Gallery in Swansea. On one of the walls is displayed the acrylic painted portraits I taught them. IContinue reading “A Wall Of Portraits.”
Slow Selfie In Progress
I started a self-portrait today. This is about an hour’s work, maybe a bit less. Still a lot more to go. I did it as a demonstration piece when I was teaching at GS Artists’ weekly arts group, the 9to90 Creative Community. We’re doing self-portraits for an upcoming exhibition and these will be finished atContinue reading “Slow Selfie In Progress”
Writhing Strokes…
I am lucky to do quite a bit of teaching in Community Arts and I worked with a lovely group at Swansea’s GS Artists last week, teaching how to paint an imaginary landscape inspired by Vincent van Gogh.

It’s on Saturday December 7th, 11 – 5pm and it will be filled with goodies from local artists and makers. I’ll show you what the mystery object is when IContinue reading “In The Pink…”
Getting Crafty
I don’t often do crafting, but I’ve been invited to share a table at GS Artist‘s Christmas Craft Fair (December 7th, 11-5) so I’ve got to get cracking. Here’s the start of a little basket made from recycled prints and wool.
POSTPONED: Paint A Portrait Of Bonnie
Sorry, tomorrow’s free painting class at GS Artists has been postponed because of a combination of illness (me – gastroenteritis) and the weather (Storm Bert). We’ll do it soon when the nasty old bug and mean old storm have gone. Keep a look out for more news on this…
