I wasn’t sure about visiting the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe for a third time, but I reasoned that my first visit had been in deepest Winter when it was covered in snow. My second was in late Spring, the weather mild, the sunlight kind. Today is high Summer, very hot, brilliant sunshine,Continue reading “Solemn Stones”

Travelling is half the fun
The picture below was taken at Cologne Station en route to Berlin. It’s Cologne Cathedral taken through the station roof. The German trains are lovely and the train food is fantastic. I’m in Germany on an artist residency with three other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins and Rhiannon Rees with support from WalesContinue reading “Travelling is half the fun”
It’s A Dirty Job…
I’m heading to Germany in a few days, to do an artist residency with three other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins and Rhiannon Rees. We are all members of AGOR Abertawe, that has been set up to facilitate creative activity between women artists in Swansea / South Wales, and the Brandenburg area. We’llContinue reading “It’s A Dirty Job…”
A Day Out In Mid Wales…
Husb and I went for a drive over the weekend and wound up in the little village of Llanddewi Brefi and then onto the small town of Tregaron. We stopped for a soft drink in a local pub and I drew this fantastic inglenook fireplace. The drawing of Husb is awful, he’s much better looking,Continue reading “A Day Out In Mid Wales…”
In These Stones…
A few years back, I worked with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams on a series of drawings/paintings of ancient standing stones in South Wales. Stained-glass artist Deanne Mangold saw them and wanted to make some glass panels based on my originals. So she did. And now there’s enough to exhibit. Deanne and I,Continue reading “In These Stones…”
Sketchbook Archives: 6
I first posted these back in February 2012, although they weren’t all drawn then. I began blogging in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings, so I was picking out examples from sketchbooks going back years. Looks like I was going through a bit of a ‘still life’ phase.
Sketchbook Archives: 5
Back to January 2012, when I posted these to my blog. They weren’t all drawn then though. I started the blog in July 2011 to post my sketchbook drawings so I was choosing from several years worth of scribbles when I first began blogging.
Learning About Cyanotypes…
I’m running a cyanotype session at GS Artists this coming Friday as part of their 9-to-90 Creative Community. I love working there, the atmosphere is terrific. If you want to come along, it’s free but you’ll need to reserve a place on Eventbrite because spaces are limited – here’s the link. There are lots ofContinue reading “Learning About Cyanotypes…”
Scribbling At The Steel Works…
Husb and I went to the demonstration to support industrial action at the TATA steelworks in Port Talbot, organised by the trade union, Unite. I sat down in the sunshine and had a scribble. There was a lot of red against the dark looming steelworks in the background.
A Short Film Of My Sketchbooks…
Husb made a short film of a lot of my sketchbook drawings. Many artists draw in sketchbooks but they’re rarely made public. So please have a look 😀
