Life drawing sessions at Swansea Print Workshop restarted this evening. It was grand to be back, but I’m so out of practice. We started with two 5 minute poses followed by a 10 minute, to warm up. I think 10 minutes is my favourite because it’s enough time to get some details in but notContinue reading “Two 5s And A 10”

Zooming Tonight
Just finished the weekly family Zoom quiz. We’re almost out of lockdown but it’s still nice to meet up and we’re not all living in the same city anyway, so we wouldn’t see this much of each other in the ‘real’ world. Just a very quick scribble with a ballpoint pen over a double pageContinue reading “Zooming Tonight”
The Ice Cream Queue
Queueing has been a big feature of the pandemic lockdown and I’ve been scribbling them on and off. This was part of a queue for the ice cream van on the seafront at Criccieth in North Wales a couple of weeks ago. It was a fabulously sunny day and the local icecream, Cariad Gelato, wasContinue reading “The Ice Cream Queue”
Shivering In Snowdonia
Here’s another sketch I made in North Wales last week. Husb and I escaped for the first time in over a year, since lockdown started, and it was fabulous, a truly beautiful place. We stopped the car to look back at a wonderful view over Lake Gwynant in Snowdonia, and I had to make aContinue reading “Shivering In Snowdonia”
Portal To The Otherworld
On our last day in North Wales, earlier in the week, Husb and I visited Pistyll Rheadr, a magnificent waterfall near Llanrheadr ym Mochnant in Powys. On the edge of the Berwyn Mountains, it’s the longest single drop waterfall in the UK and is also reputed to be one of the six portals to Annwn,Continue reading “Portal To The Otherworld”
The Tragic Statue In Harlech
Husb and I spent a few days in North Wales, only the second time we’ve been out of county for over a year, and it was lush. We went to the 13th century Harlech Castle, perched on a steep hill above a large coastal plain. Outside is a 20th century statue by Ivor Roberts-Jones, ofContinue reading “The Tragic Statue In Harlech”
Big Boughs At Bodnant
Husb and I just had a few days in North Wales, the first time we’ve been away from home since lockdown started over a year ago. It was lovely. Lots of places are still closed because of Covid19, so we packed picnics and took off into the countryside. Our first stop was the beautiful gardensContinue reading “Big Boughs At Bodnant”
Copying, Creativity, Cheese And Wine
I’m carrying on faking this Monet, “Cliffs At Grainval”, but it still needs more work. Not a lot, just a bit more faffing should do it. I started it on Friday with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. He’s been running it weekly since lockdown began over a year ago and it’sContinue reading “Copying, Creativity, Cheese And Wine”
The Lifting-Lockdown-Excursion
Here’s another quick little sketch from my lifting-lockdown-excursion into the city centre earlier this week. It was nice doing these scribbles, it felt like getting back to normal. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. IContinue reading “The Lifting-Lockdown-Excursion”
Friday Fakery
It’s Friday again so I joined in with the weekly Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook at lunchtime. It’s run by painter Ed Sumner who has kept it going every week since lockdown started. Today’s fake is “Cliff At Grainval”, a painting from 1882 by Claude Monet. I’m about half way through. A ChanceContinue reading “Friday Fakery”
