Here’s the second of my series of 4 prints based on photographs of manhole covers (by Melvyn Williams) in the Waun Wen area of the city. The images are accompanied by the Welsh place names and their English translation, dating from pre-Industrial times when it was rural and they evoke a rather beautiful landscape. PartContinue reading “The Second Of Four ….”

The First Of Four ….
I’ve completed my series of four screenprints, inspired by my recent residency on the Waun Wen area of the city. Here’s the first, combining the images of three local manhole covers (from photos taken by Melvyn Williams), with text featuring local Welsh place names and their English translation. These transport us back to a timeContinue reading “The First Of Four ….”
Spoons, Screenprints And So Long
I’ve been a bit quiet on my blog for a few days, been busy with the last of my arts project in the Waun Wen area of the city. Today was the final session, saying so long to the residents and other artists who have been getting involved over the past 15 weeks and collectingContinue reading “Spoons, Screenprints And So Long”
The Blues On A Sunny Day
Just a few more days left of my residency in the Waun Wen area of the city and Dan McCabe from Swansea’s Glynn Vivian Art Gallery came up and did a fab session about indigo dyeing with some local residents. It’s the topic of one of their latest exhibitions. The weather’s been awful recently, threeContinue reading “The Blues On A Sunny Day”
Heads ….
Here’s a couple more sketches from out night out at Swansea’s Sin City to see “As December Falls”, looking at heads close up. Good bit of practice. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks. I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antique taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I haveContinue reading “Heads ….”
Venus In Sin City.
Gigging and Scribbling. Husb and I went to Sin City, our local gig venue the other night, to see a band new to the both of us, “As December Falls” and supports. It was a cracking night out. I had to have a scribble of course. Neolithic Venuses. I did some quick continuous line drawingsContinue reading “Venus In Sin City.”
With Splodges!
Here’s the other quick painting I did when I dropped into University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids (AKA Swansea Art College) yesterday to try my hand at hard edge acrylic painting, using ripped masking tape, spray paint, bubble wrap and a pipette onto paper. I prefer it to the other one, there’s more going on.Continue reading “With Splodges!”
An Open Mind.
I dropped in to University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids, or as I still call it, Swansea Art College, this afternoon for a practice session doing hard edge acrylic painting. I haven’t done anything like this before, it was fun. I used ripped masking tape and spray paint onto canvas. I’ve never used spray paintContinue reading “An Open Mind.”
Four So Far.
Wait And See. Four of my screenprints of Waun Wen manholes have two colours printed so far. There’s one more with just one colour, so the second colour will be screened later this week. And then they’ll all have some text overprinted but you’ll have to wait and see ….. Part of the Home and HinterlandContinue reading “Four So Far.”
First Timer Squeegee Technique!
I was at Waun Wen Community Centre again today, carrying on with the screenprints based on manhole covers (from photos by Melvyn Williams), don’t they look a bit like celestial bodies? I was helped by some local residents who dropped by and decided to try out some screenprinting. In fact, they printed them all! IContinue reading “First Timer Squeegee Technique!”
