It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.
Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.
I dropped by GS Artists on High Street this afternoon. It’s a fab gallery and community artspace and every Friday afternoon there’s the 9 to 90 Creative Community art club, with different art activities each week. Of course I had to have a scribble! Then I went home and made some Bara Brith after tea.Continue reading “Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.”
The Fiddler.
Another sketchbook drawing from the lovely gig at Elysium on Saint David’s Day. Singer, composer, musician Angharad Jenkins thrilled us with her wonderful set. I had to have a scribble, of course, but haven’t done her justice. It’s not easy drawing people moving around a lot, but it’s really good practice.
Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant Hapus.
Happy Saint David’s Day. Husb and I went to a celebration of Welsh culture at Elysium this evening, with poetry and music and song, Welsh Cakes and Cawl Cennen a Thatws (Leek and Potato Soup). Of course I had to have a scribble, of talented young pianist Eddie Gripper.
Experimenting
I’ve been experimenting with a material new to me, Toyobo photopolymer plastic plates, to make my own stamps. It seems like a fairly easy process, but of course it isn’t. My first try (above) didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, but that’s life. It might have been the exposure time or maybe IContinue reading “Experimenting”
Green Man And Wild Garlic.
Husb and I have had two very outdoors days, loads of exercise – I’m aching. Yesterday we went walking up Kilvey Hill and came across this Green Man in the forest. I’ve tweaked him in Adobe Photoshop “Posterise” filter. When I was a kid, Kilvey Hill was black and barren, ruined from 200 or soContinue reading “Green Man And Wild Garlic.”
#StandingStoneSunday 23
It’s yet another #StandingStoneSunday and here’s a drawing I made of the fabulous King’s Quoit monument in Manorbier, Pembrokeshire. It’s been overlooking the sea here for about 5,000 years. It’s a spectacular location for a truly magnificent dolmen and also a lovely place for a drive and a day out.
#Caturday Archives 16
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and here’s a drawing from ages ago when I was still using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. I don’t really know why I stopped, I generally use ballpoint pen now in my sketchbooks. I was chilling one evening with Sparta Puss stretched out on my lap, wearing some snazzy leggingsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 16”
