We’ve had a couple of fine Spring days so I jumped at the chance to get into the garden and do some tidying up. It’s joyous being there. It’s only a little city-centre patch but Husb and I have crammed as much as we can into it. My seasonal favourites are the Hellebores, Primulas andContinue reading “Springtime In The Garden…”

8 Years Ago In Bath ….
I’ve been rummaging through some old sketchbooks and found these drawings from the Fringe Arts Bath (FAB) Festival in 2016, a few years before Covid19. It seems like another world. A small group of us stood in crowded streets in the sunshine and sketched, no knowledge of the impending pandemic that totally changed the wayContinue reading “8 Years Ago In Bath ….”
Rhubarb Rhubarb Rhubarb…
I love growing it. Not so keen on eating it, I like the taste but it really doesn’t like me. It is a laxative. I love cooking with rhubarb though and my garden plants are so prolific that I’ve tried out many recipes. Here’s a drawing I did some years ago and here’s a photoContinue reading “Rhubarb Rhubarb Rhubarb…”
Another Quick Sketch ….
A quickly scribbled head with graphite into a Khadi sketchbook.
An Eclectic Mix.
Another head of a performer from the Riverside Folk Club a couple of weeks ago. It’s an eclectic mix of music, folk and country, blues and bluegrass, the occasional small choir and even a bit of comedic verse. I drew this with a 2B graphite block into a Khadi sketchbook.
FINISHED!
Pulled a couple of long sessions down at Swansea Print Workshop yesterday and this evening to finish these two before the deadline tomorrow – linocut on the left and screenprint on the right. Was supposed to do them last week but had an accident and got concussion! Never mind, all done. Now I need aContinue reading “FINISHED!”
Checking ….
I’m cutting a lot of text, back to front, into traditional grey lino for my latest print. It’s not easy so I regularly use tracing paper to check that I’m doing it right. I put the tracing paper onto the area I want to check and rub it with a block of 2B Graphite soContinue reading “Checking ….”
The First Cuts.
I’ve started cutting into the lino block about the Miner’s Wives that I have been designing for what seems like ages! I really want to get this right, though. It contains a lot of text, which is really hard to cut, especially backwards. Here are the first cuts.
Faking It (Again)
A few weeks into the first Covid19 Lockdown in the Spring of 2020, the artist Ed Sumner started the “Cheese and Wine Painting Club” every Friday afternoon on Facebook Live. It was open to anyone, from anywhere, all ages, free for those who couldn’t afford to make a donation, and over the long months ofContinue reading “Faking It (Again)”
A Month Of Maris #15
Here’s an unusual view of a Mari Monotype, it’s all set up before I took the print. I inked an acrylic sheet, did the drawing of the Mari Lwyd onto it with cotton buds and brushes, and then laid some pieces of mulberry paper onto the surface to act as chine collé. This is theContinue reading “A Month Of Maris #15”
