I’m taking part in a ‘Museum Experience’ at Swansea Museum, beginning on March 31st and carrying through to May 17th. It’s called ‘PROCESS’, because it focuses on the processes that artists use to create their work. More than an exhibition of work on walls, ‘PROCESS’ also showcases sketchbooks, tools and materials to foster an understanding ofContinue reading “Tea And Welshcakes”

Maltese Cats Revisited
Revisiting My Sketchbook I’ve been looking through some of my old blog posts, there are over 3,000 of them, and it’s hard to remember all the artwork I’ve posted. Here’s one from just after Husb and I came back from a short holiday in Malta, a gorgeous place, full of cats. I put some watercolourContinue reading “Maltese Cats Revisited”
Hare Raising
hmmmm how many puns about hares can I get away with? 🙂 I’m still practicing drawing hares, alternating between the Samsung Galaxy Tablet and pencils. Another day or two and I’ll move onto another animal. I visited the old Swansea Museum today. They have an exhibition on Alfred Wallace with some taxidermy including foxes andContinue reading “Hare Raising”
The Museum Cat
I wandered into Swansea Museum yesterday and met a gorgeous, large ginger-and-white moggy. She’s a frequent visitor; she lives in the local pub on the corner and trots up to the museum most days and her name is Megan. She sat on the receptionist’s counter for a few minutes, just enough to let me doContinue reading “The Museum Cat”
Avengers And A Fidget-Free Sprog.

I haven’t done any sketchbook drawings for about a week, so, having agreed to babysit a couple of small relations for the afternoon, weContinue reading “Avengers And A Fidget-Free Sprog.”
Sprogs And Curiosities
It’s been a varied holiday week, saying goodbye at the funeral of a teacher and mentor, Pat Briggs; saying hello to a new little great nephew, as yet unnamed but in the Welsh tradition already nicknamed, Ffredi [which is Welsh for Freddy :)] and two days babysitting small family sprogs. Not a lot of timeContinue reading “Sprogs And Curiosities”
Cat Goddess At The Old Museum
Babysitting again today so took my young nephew to Swansea Museum, the one that the poet Dylan Thomas described as ‘the museum that should be in a museum’ because it’s such a quintessentially Victorian museum, so very typical of its era. We went up to the Egyptology exhibit, because small children seem to be fascinatedContinue reading “Cat Goddess At The Old Museum”
