I’ve finished my painting of two siblings on the beach at night watching the bioluminescence. It’s been a long haul. I don’t often work from photographs and I don’t find it easy, I prefer to work from life, but this was a good exercise. I did a lot of the painting upside down – theContinue reading “Done At Last.”

Kitty Print Experiments.
I’m experimenting with making my own stamps from Toyobo photopolymer letterpress plates. I had a try the other week with a different make, which didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, but this material is much better, much crisper with more detail. I tried out three exposure and three curing times and then printedContinue reading “Kitty Print Experiments.”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.
Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.
I dropped by GS Artists on High Street this afternoon. It’s a fab gallery and community artspace and every Friday afternoon there’s the 9 to 90 Creative Community art club, with different art activities each week. Of course I had to have a scribble! Then I went home and made some Bara Brith after tea.Continue reading “Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.”
The Fiddler.
Another sketchbook drawing from the lovely gig at Elysium on Saint David’s Day. Singer, composer, musician Angharad Jenkins thrilled us with her wonderful set. I had to have a scribble, of course, but haven’t done her justice. It’s not easy drawing people moving around a lot, but it’s really good practice.
Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant Hapus.
Happy Saint David’s Day. Husb and I went to a celebration of Welsh culture at Elysium this evening, with poetry and music and song, Welsh Cakes and Cawl Cennen a Thatws (Leek and Potato Soup). Of course I had to have a scribble, of talented young pianist Eddie Gripper.
Experimenting
I’ve been experimenting with a material new to me, Toyobo photopolymer plastic plates, to make my own stamps. It seems like a fairly easy process, but of course it isn’t. My first try (above) didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, but that’s life. It might have been the exposure time or maybe IContinue reading “Experimenting”
Green Man And Wild Garlic.
Husb and I have had two very outdoors days, loads of exercise – I’m aching. Yesterday we went walking up Kilvey Hill and came across this Green Man in the forest. I’ve tweaked him in Adobe Photoshop “Posterise” filter. When I was a kid, Kilvey Hill was black and barren, ruined from 200 or soContinue reading “Green Man And Wild Garlic.”
