Went to the beach earlier today to take part in the Fresh West ‘Make Your Mark ‘ public art event. I did some mark making stuff in the sand but unfortunately, after weeks of wonderful sunshine, the weather turned and it was cold and wet. Miserable. But a scribbler must scribble so I did someContinue reading “Action!”

On The Hoof With A Teapot.
Husb and I went for a walk on the beach this evening and I did some sketching on the hoof. It results in wobbly drawings! I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app while I followed people. They suspected nothing. The sun was setting behind us as we looked outContinue reading “On The Hoof With A Teapot.”
OOH! AAH! Fireworks!
Bonfire night! Husb and I went to the municipal firework display this evening. It was fantastic! Best one I’ve seen. Kudos to Swansea Council – a grand job. When it finished we crossed the road to the beach for the feral fireworks; thousands of teens and twenty-somethings packed onto the beach lighting bonfires and settingContinue reading “OOH! AAH! Fireworks!”
Girlies On Top
Had a bit of a paddle down the beach the other day and spotted a group of 6 or 7 young women practicing rugby on the sand. They were athletic and attractive and soon got the attention of a group of lads about the same age who sounded like they were on holiday from England. Continue reading “Girlies On Top”
It’s The Dogs…
Here’s an English Bull Terrier I saw on the beach this morning. It was fabulous there; very sunny, the tide fully in and crowds of people enjoying the moment – all too rare in our climate. I don’t often get a chance to draw dogs and he was far more fidgety than my kittehsContinue reading “It’s The Dogs…”
Hoody And Hat
We’ve been cooped up for months so as it was bright and dry, but very cold, earlier today, Husb and I went for a walk on the beach. I wanted to get out and sketch en plein air and blow away the winter cobwebs. I sat down in the dunes behind a couple of peopleContinue reading “Hoody And Hat”
Hats And Fire
Guy Fawkes Night!!!!! A great British tradition. Some say that Guy Fawkes is the only person ever to have entered the Houses of Parliament with honest intentions. Tonight we took a young relative to the municipal fireworks display just across the road from the sea. It was terrific, some of the best fireworks I’veContinue reading “Hats And Fire”
Sun, Stars And Short Sightedness
It’s SUNNY!!!! The deluge of biblical proportions has stopped for a couple of days. It isn’t warm, but the sun is shining. So Husb and I went for a walk on the beach yesterday and finally went for a coffee at the top of ‘The Tower‘; we’d been promising ourselves for ages. It’s a fairlyContinue reading “Sun, Stars And Short Sightedness”
