I’m feeling a bit better each day as the Covid19 symptoms are going and I’m getting a bit stronger, and today was the first since the illness started 10 days ago that I’ve been able to think about doing anything remotely arty.
Whenever I do a painting, I scrape any leftover acrylic paint onto spare canvasses or heavy textured papers, to form a base, or ground, for further work. I’ve had this piece of A4 sized hand-made Khadi paper around so today I had a bit of a scribble on top with some Daler Rowney soft oil pastels.
I based this exercise on a few drawings I’d done en plein air of the view over Swansea from a hill in the Waun Wen area of the city. It’s isn’t an accurate representation, I’m just having a play with the materials and the shapes, seeing what I can do with them.
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 have given these vintage artifacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – old fruit nets, bubble wrap and plastic – highlighting the problem of human pollution and how it affects wildlife.

20 percent of the cost of each screenprint sold goes to support Swansea Print Workshop, which receives no public funding.
