It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and this huge megalith is the Brynmaen Stone on Brynmaen Farm in Carmarthenshire. It’s been six years since I visited with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and film maker Melvyn Williams – time flies by so fast! We travelled along the route of the legendary Boar Hunt, Y Twrch Trwyth, from the story of Culhwch andContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 18”

From My Imagination…
I’ve been messing around with some acrylic paint on a small canvas board, trying to make an abstract landscape from my imagination. I always work from life, I’m way out of my comfort zone doing this, but I’m persevering because I feel I need to loosen up and just try things out without being precious.Continue reading “From My Imagination…”
Chilling With A Scribble.
Husb and I went for a stroll, it was a nice day, and we stopped for a coffee in Coast Cafe on the mouth of the river. I scribbled the guy silhouetted against the window and used the continuous line method to get the proportions right. Just a little bit of practice.
Like Chalk And Cheese.
Here are the last couple of sketches from the gig Husb and I were at last weekend, in Hippos. People have different ways of listening to music, these two were like chalk and cheese. The gigger on the left was very focused and concentrated on the music, the gigger on the right was going aContinue reading “Like Chalk And Cheese.”
A Head Again and Again.
I drew this page of heads at the Omnichron gig at Hippos the other night. The bass player kept moving so I quickly scribbled him from different angles, without getting enough time to do a detailed drawing.
Grooving…
Another of my gig scribbles from Hippos last weekend, of a lively young dancer grooving to my favourite psychedelic rock band, Omnichron. I took a slice of skirt and put it into Gradient Map on Adobe Photoshop.
Two Heads At The Gig.
I did lots of scribbling at the gig in Hippos on Saturday night, people in audiences are usually absorbed in the performer – unless they’re dancing – and it makes drawing them easier. Here are two very interesting heads grooving to my old mate Peter Crow. I cropped a section of the drawing in AdobeContinue reading “Two Heads At The Gig.”
Listening To Crow …
Husb and I went to a great gig at Hippos the other evening, some fantastic musicians and a quirky, fun venue. Gigs are always good for a scribble, people often listen very intently so they’re nice and still. This one was completely focused on my old mate Peter Crow who delivered a storming set. IContinue reading “Listening To Crow …”
Goodbye Bouldering Wall …
Here are a couple of post-bouldering sketches I did, still at The Wall in Ulverston, but at the end of the session when people were having a rest. This climber was nice and still as he had a sit-down after a strenuous climb. And this one took a breather standing up, but quite still, so easier toContinue reading “Goodbye Bouldering Wall …”
Scribbling Bouldering 6.
Here are the last few drawings from my visit to Ulverston’s “The Wall” with my young relatives. While they and Husb bouldered, I sat and sketched. These few below are the first ones I did, extra speedy to warm up.
