Let Peace Prevail

I’m posting some of the work I did from my travels to Pakistan way back in 2007. Wow, so long ago!!! One day we got into the minibus and set off out of Islamabad through Peshawar and headed towards the Khyber Pass in the North West Frontier! We picked up a jeep load of armedContinue reading “Let Peace Prevail”

Sketchbook Archives: 56

Here are some old sketchbook scribbles, from March 2015 and it seems that I was out on the beach a lot, again. It must have been quite dry. I don’t mind going out and drawing when it’s cold, but I don’t want to be soaked.

Just A Quickie Or Two

I didn’t have my mojo with me this evening, or my spectacles, so I found the life drawing session quite difficult. For the last half hour I just made quick sketches of the other people there into my little A6 Indigo covered sketchbook with graphite.

#Caturday Archives: 40

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and back in November 2015 I printed up some plywood that I had carved with some stylised images of my cat, Sparta Puss, climbing a net curtain. She threw some great shapes. I based the woodcut on sketches I had made.

Last Week To See…

It’s the last week to see the Queen Street Gallery Open Art show 2026. There’s so much excellent artwork there, as well as a gallery shop and lovely café right next to the gallery (Number 46). The gallery is just a few minutes walk from Neath railway station, which is on the mainline from LondonContinue reading “Last Week To See…”

Sketchbook Archives: 55

Looking back at sketchbooks from February 2015 and I took a walk on the beach, visited a hospital and a couple of cafés, and hung out at an art gallery opening. I’ll be running a weekend linocut course based on Dewi Bowen and Olwyn Pritchard’s book, “Hunting The Wild Megalith” on February 28th and MarchContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 55”
