Here are a few more speedy scribbles I did at the rugby match on Saturday. It was nice there, I was invited to share a box, which was warm and dry so I could sketch in comfort. That’s the way to do it.

Lots Of Little Quick Ones …
Yesterday I went to the Rugby, at the Swansea.Com Stadium to watch The Ospreys play the Emirates Lions from South Africa. Of course I had to have a scribble! There were a lot of people hanging out on the touchline watching the match, so I sketched them quickly. Good drawing practice. Ospreys won 36 vContinue reading “Lots Of Little Quick Ones …”
Springtime In The Garden…
We’ve had a couple of fine Spring days so I jumped at the chance to get into the garden and do some tidying up. It’s joyous being there. It’s only a little city-centre patch but Husb and I have crammed as much as we can into it. My seasonal favourites are the Hellebores, Primulas andContinue reading “Springtime In The Garden…”
Rhubarb Rhubarb Rhubarb…
I love growing it. Not so keen on eating it, I like the taste but it really doesn’t like me. It is a laxative. I love cooking with rhubarb though and my garden plants are so prolific that I’ve tried out many recipes. Here’s a drawing I did some years ago and here’s a photoContinue reading “Rhubarb Rhubarb Rhubarb…”
Drawing Darkness In The Darkness
Husb and I went to a mini-festival on one of the city’s hills last weekend. It was very dark and we wandered in and out of small barns listening to music and poetry. I had a go drawing the darkness in the darkness. I couldn’t see the paper I was drawing on so had noContinue reading “Drawing Darkness In The Darkness”
A Work Of Art From The Freezer
Husb’s favourite pudding is a traditional fruit crumble. He considers a crumble to be a work of art. I’ve been rooting around in the freezer this week and found a stash of fruit in boxes hidden away. So it was gooseberry crumble a few days ago and today I retrieved some organic loganberries, grown onContinue reading “A Work Of Art From The Freezer”
But Is It Art?
I found some of last Summer’s allotment gooseberries in the freezer, so they had to be converted into a crumble! Husb says it’s a work of art. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks. I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antique taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I haveContinue reading “But Is It Art?”
Rhubarb!
I picked the first rhubarb of the season yesterday. It’s the earliest I’ve ever picked it, it’s out in the open garden, I don’t force my rhubarb to bring it on early. I guess it’s the relatively warm and wet winter we’ve had. I did a drawing eight years ago just as the rhubarb wasContinue reading “Rhubarb!”
