#Caturday Silhouette 16: More Stripey.

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a positive silhouette of Bill aka William ChatNoir, our sweet little black rescue cat. She’s on the same background as last #Caturday.

An Overlooked Destination.

I went to the opening of a lovely exhibition for International Women’s Day, at Cynon Valley Museum in Aberdare.

Through 2016 to 2019, I did a large series of drawings of standing stones out in the field, en plein air as we artists call it, across South Wales, which has been described to me as a Neolithic Landscape of the Dead, there are so many ancient tombs. I was accompanied by archaeologist Dewi BowenContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday”
