Husb and I took a walk up the mountain Llyn y Fan on the Bank Holiday to visit the smaller of the mountain lakes, Llyn y Fan Fach. I took some sheets of Somerset paper that I’d prepared in advance. This sheet was primed with white acrylic gesso, than brushed roughly with my home madeContinue reading “Weirdness Up A Mountain.”

To The Legendary Lake: 1.
It’s August Bank Holiday and of course, the weather was pretty miserable, overcast and drizzly, but reasonably warm. Husb and I were at a loose end and I’ve always wanted to walk up to the mythological lake Llyn y Fan Fach in the Bannau Brycheiniog. The lake is the site of one of Wales’ mostContinue reading “To The Legendary Lake: 1.”
Scribbling In The Warm.
Husb and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon, it was sparkling sunshine but also very cold so we called in at a new café in the old Observatory on the promenade, overlooking Swansea Beach. A lovely place in a gorgeous setting. And toasty warm. Of course, I had to have a scribble. IContinue reading “Scribbling In The Warm.”
The Man Himself
Here’s another quick sketch from the “Cost of Living” rally I went to at the weekend in Aberdare. It was a bright and sunny, but freezing, day although the converted church venue was pretty warm and jam packed. There wasn’t much space for drawing and I had to get into all sorts of positions toContinue reading “The Man Himself”
It’s Cold!
It’s cold, freezing tonight, but this one is snug and warm indoors. Please look out for your pets in this awful weather and keep them in xxx Here’s Sparta Puss, through a Posterise filter in Adobe Photoshop.
Thundery Crags
This is the last of the outdoor sketches I did in my recent stay in The Lake District. We stopped a while up in the mountains while younger relatives swam in the river – it was WAY too cold for me – so I sat and sketched with Derwent Inktense blocks into a Khadi landscapeContinue reading “Thundery Crags”
The Soundtrack To My Life.
Husb and I went to a gig in Singleton Park Friday night. We bought the tickets for Nile Rodgers and Chic‘s world tour before the Covid epidemic and waited for two years for it to be rescheduled. It was amazing. Nile is such a brilliant musician and so prolific, he’s provided the soundtrack to myContinue reading “The Soundtrack To My Life.”
Going For It!
Husb and I went to The Elysium last night to watch a live band. They got the crowd going! A covers band, Soulskunks, mainly ska and a bit of reggae. I had to have a scribble of course. People were dancing fast so it was a bit of a challenge. Raising Funds. My family isContinue reading “Going For It!”
Sunning In The Park.
Husb and I went to Mumbles this evening, for the opening of a new exhibition at Tides Gallery. It was lovely, it spilt out into the Ponderosa Bar next door and Elwyn’s Bar just along the street. Then it spilt out across the road to the little park where Ian Thomas played an acoustic set.Continue reading “Sunning In The Park.”
Prepping And Perspiration!
Crikey! This heatwave is getting a bit much. It’s cooler in the house than outside so I’ve been a bit like a cave-dwelling troll today, avoiding the intense sunshine outside. Still sweated cobs though. I did a load of prep for screenprinting. I put some designs onto screens with Speedball drawing fluid and got themContinue reading “Prepping And Perspiration!”
