I’ve been looking though my YouTube channel and remembered the day I went up Mynydd Llangyndeyrn, a mountain with ancient stones, in Carmarthenshire. I was travelling around Wales with pre-historian, wit and raconteur Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams. Dewi was doing field research for his new book, Melvyn was filming him and I decidedContinue reading “Ancient Fast Food Outlets Up A Mountain (with short video).”

Scribbling The Music #2
Here’s another speedy sketch I did at the Windshake gig at Elysium last weekend. The lead singer is very fast moving so I had to scribble quickly. Really fab band, loved the gig. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabledContinue reading “Scribbling The Music #2”
Back To Basics #2
I carried on working on the colour theory mandala I started last week. It doesn’t do any harm to get back to basics now and again. I’m focusing on mixing colours at the moment but when they’re all in place, I’ll pay attention to the brushwork – it’s a bit rough. I’m using Daler RowneyContinue reading “Back To Basics #2”
Scribbling The Music #1
I like going to gigs and I like sketching. I like sketching at gigs. Scribbling members of the audience is usually relatively easy as they’re normally absorbed in the music – unless there’s a mosh pit going on! Now and again I try drawing the musicians, which is often harder because they tend to moveContinue reading “Scribbling The Music #1”
Spotting a character
When I’m sketching en plein air, it’s great when an unusual character comes along. It’s nice drawing anyone, but now and again someone exceptional appears. This guy was really getting into the band Windshake at the Elysium Bar the other evening. So I scribbled him. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, aContinue reading “Spotting a character”
Another Face In The Place.
Here’s another quick scribble I did last night into my sketchbook, at the Elysium Bar. Husb and I went to see singer songwriter Tom Emlyn and folk psychedelia band Windshake – great musicians all. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. PhilContinue reading “Another Face In The Place.”
A Quickie In The Pub
Husb and I went to the Elysium Bar this evening for some live music and of course, I had to have a quick scribble. There were plenty of interesting faces for me to sketch. Hats, glasses and beards are always a bit difficult and this chap had all three. Raising Funds. My family is raisingContinue reading “A Quickie In The Pub”
Back To Basics…
It doesn’t harm to get back to basics now and again and work on technique or theory. Or even maths! It’s so long since I did any geometry that I had to ask someone to help me to construct a mandala onto this canvas, with a pair of compasses and a ruler. I’m painting itContinue reading “Back To Basics…”
Even More Carrying On ….
This is the reality of making art at times. Doing it for a bit. Then stand back and look at it. Then do a bit more. Then sleep on it. I find this happens more with a painting than with a drawing or printmaking. So I’ve done a bit more to this painting of myContinue reading “Even More Carrying On ….”
The Book Is On It’s Way…
Before Covid 19, I spent 3 years drawing and painting many of the ancient Neolithic standing stones across South Wales in the company of pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams. Dewi was working on his latest book about The Boar Hunt from the Mabinogion, which was put on hold during the pandemic, but withContinue reading “The Book Is On It’s Way…”
