Another drawing from my hospital visit yesterday, accompanying my young relative to the ante-natal clinic. It was a weird place, not somewhere I enjoyed being. I thought it was a bit like a meat market if I’m honest. There wasn’t a problem with the medical staff, who seemed very kind, patient and helpful, but theContinue reading “A Stroppy Fish Out Of Water”

Cosy Couple At The Blood Clinic
Today I accompanied a young relative to an appointment at a hospital in a nearby town. The whole process took around two hours, shifting around the hospital to different departments, but I had my sketchbook and a couple of pens so I made good use of the time and no-one was safe from my scribbling.Continue reading “Cosy Couple At The Blood Clinic”
Drawing Miss Buns.
I spent some hours today with my delightful 12-year old great niece, Miss Buns, who hung out in my studio after school. I thought it might be a good idea to draw her so she settled into a big armchair and I started scribbling. Unfortunately, a 12-year old’s idea of ‘keeping still’ is very differentContinue reading “Drawing Miss Buns.”
Getting a new viewpoint
I try to draw every day but it can get boring drawing the same things over and over so Husb is now being reinvented from different angles. I’ve done a few drawings where I’ve been seated and he’s been standing but he hasn’t been too keen of me drawing up his nose so this timeContinue reading “Getting a new viewpoint”
Filthy Weather And A Civilised Pot Of Tea.
Filthy weather today. We were promised snow but as usual, the bit of the Guf Stream that swirls around in the bay made the temperature just slightly too high for the rain to freeze out into snow. So we had freezing rain and driving winds instead. Horrible. Spent the morning at Swansea Print WorkshopContinue reading “Filthy Weather And A Civilised Pot Of Tea.”
Another Pal Scribbled!
I’ve signed up to the 28 day drawing challenge on Facebook and I’m trying to draw a person each day instead of an inanimate object. I don’t want to repeat myself so I’m going to try not to do husb and myself more than once. However, in this age of social networking and given theContinue reading “Another Pal Scribbled!”
Mauled By Ming The Merciless
Ming The Merciless is a small fluffy tortoiseshell [calico] cat who tolerates us and shares her home with us. Because she is so fluffy, she needs to be combed, especially at this time of year when the kitties are moulting off their winter coat. Honestly, you’d think we were murdering her. It took husbContinue reading “Mauled By Ming The Merciless”
I’ll Scribble Anywhere, Me.
I know I bang on about artists getting out in public and be seen doing art, but that’s because I feel really strongly about it. The visual arts have been getting a bad press in recent years. They’re seen, often justifiably, as elitist and obscure and this is because a small number of artists whoContinue reading “I’ll Scribble Anywhere, Me.”
My Long Suffering…….
Because I sketch so much I’m always looking for things to draw and my poor, long-suffering husband fits the bill a lot of the time. It’s easier for me because wherever we are I can just tell him to keep still ….. and he does! Brilliant. You can’t usually do that with strangers. Here heContinue reading “My Long Suffering…….”
Posing at Grand Central Station
I take my sketchbook travelling with me. I haven’t always done so, I used to take photos but I ended up with loads of images that I never looked at, especially after I started using a digital camera. Sketching takes me longer than snapping so I have to stop and immerse myself in theContinue reading “Posing at Grand Central Station”
