The First Cuts.

A Month Of Maris #15

Here’s an unusual view of a Mari Monotype, it’s all set up before I took the print.

Husb sings in a local community choir, Aderyn Du Brynmill Blackbirds, and they gave a short performance of Medieval Christmas Carols at the Riverside Folk Club in Loughor earlier this week.

The GVAG’s Friends.

Husb and I went to the Annual General Meeting of the Friends of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery a few days ago. Of course, I had to have a scribble…..

Man In A Stripey Shirt.

I was at a meeting this evening, The Friends Of The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery’s Annual General Meeting, and I spotted this chap in a stripey shirt. Of course I had to have a scribble, in Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens into a smooth, cloth-bound A5 sketchbook.

Saving Cilfai.

Here’s a little scribble I did this evening at a public meeting in the Saint Thomas area of Swansea to look at objections to the proposed Skyline development on Swansea’s Eastside. If you want to take a look at the Planning Application Comments section, please click here.
