Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I haven’t been for a while as life has been getting in the way so I made a pineapple upside down cake for our tea break. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free Markers app, working with white pens overContinue reading “Cake And Life Drawing”

Goodbye Little Friend
Our scruffy little cat, Ming the Merciless, had her final visit to the vet today. She’s been poorly for a while now and Husb had to make the decision to let her go. We rescued Ming when she was just a tiny, starving scrap about 10 months old. She was extremely ill from neglect andContinue reading “Goodbye Little Friend”
Folding And Creasing
I spent a pleasant afternoon folding and creasing coloured papers, doing simple origami shapes. I work part time for a national charity that helps homeless people and we made a start today on an art project that’s going to grow over the next few weeks. Watch this space 😀
Banners Are Good…..
Banners are good. Banners are a useful way of breaking the ice when I’m running sessions in art. A lot of adults feel intimidated by ‘art’ and that they can’t paint or draw. Doing banners means they can drop by and do a few brushstrokes or they can get absorbed for a couple of hours.Continue reading “Banners Are Good…..”
Art In The Cellar
I am so lucky to work as an art tutor for a charity that helps homeless people. I love it and I love using art to communicate with people and to give people a lift, a sense of achievement. This banner has been going for a few weeks now. People can drop in and doContinue reading “Art In The Cellar”
Paws On The Pooter: 8
I think today’s my last chance to get my paws on the pooter box for a while. I’m Sparta Puss and my simian servants have been away for a few days, getting some sunshine. Idiots, all they have to do is lie on a cushion in the window if they want sun! I’ve been allowingContinue reading “Paws On The Pooter: 8”
Paws On The Pooter: 7
Sparta Puss here. The hairless monkeys are away for a few days and Ming The Merciless and I have a kitty sitter, a pleasant enough she-ape who can be persuaded to give me bigger portions than my simian servants do. My usual she-ape calls herself an artist which means that she stares at me whileContinue reading “Paws On The Pooter: 7”
Paws On The Pooter: 6
The bald monkeys are still away and I’m getting bored. The kitty-sitter is nice enough but I can’t wind her up too much in case she withholds my treats. I like winding up the hairless apes. It’s fun. I like the noise the she-monkey makes when I throw rats at her. A high pitchedContinue reading “Paws On The Pooter: 6”
Paws On The Pooter: 5
The hairless apes are still away so I’ve been trawling through the photos on the pooter box to find some of me. And my homie, Ming The Merciless. Here I am catching up with some sleep and the she-monkey has drawn me. She says that I’m a poser. She’s an idiot. The kitty-sitter is aContinue reading “Paws On The Pooter: 5”
Paws On The Pooter: 4
I Am Sparta Puss! And my simians are away for a few days and they’ve left us with a kitty-sitter, a hairless she-ape who gives me treats on demand. She’s well trained. She’s lived with cats before, I can tell, she knows her place. Here’s one of my places, lying flat out on aContinue reading “Paws On The Pooter: 4”
