Pyjamas And An Early Night
I was out and about in the countryside today, walking and drawing in the Deer Park near Dinefwr Castle in Llandeilo with a group of inspirational women. It was very bright and sunny but also bitterly cold – two pairs of fingerless gloves just to be able to hold the pens and conté crayons. CameContinue reading “Pyjamas And An Early Night”
Collaboration In Progress
Something that’s gestating, something that’s a collaboration with the artist Unity, something that will be revealed on International Women’s Day ……..
Creativity, Comfort And Curveballs
And here’s the final drawing I did at the creative salon organised by the artist Fern Smith, a recipient of a Creative Wales Award . It was the first of “Seven Sundays in Spring: All The Women I’ve Ever Met“ , hosted by the glass artist Chris Bird-Jones. I found it not only creative but also very comforting. LifeContinue reading “Creativity, Comfort And Curveballs”
A Higgledy-Piggledy Gothic Place
Here are two more drawings I did last Sunday at a creative salon for women that I went to. It certainly gave me a creative boost and has helped to gel some ideas for development I’d been mulling around. The salon was organised by the artist Fern Smith, a recipient of a Creative Wales Award who has organisedContinue reading “A Higgledy-Piggledy Gothic Place”

A Sunday Scribble
I spent a wonderful Sunday with a group of women artists and makers, brought together by the artist Fern Smith who has organised a series of events called Seven Sundays in Spring. It was a lovely atmosphere, calm, peaceful and supportive and of course, I scribbled. I managed six drawings in all. It’s nice drawingContinue reading “A Sunday Scribble”
Music And Mark Making
Husb and I went to the “Gallery At Night” opening at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery where artist in residence Rhodri Davies was performing on a range of strange instruments, including cymbals arranged on the floor (above) and adapted harps. I quickly got into the zone and scribbled automatically, allowing the music to dictate my mark-making. ThisContinue reading “Music And Mark Making”
The Gallery At Night
Husb and I went to the late opening at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery last night where artist in residence Rhodri Davies was performing on a range of strange instruments. I scribbled with a biro (ballpoint) pen and found myself almost mesmerised, drawing automatically to the music.
Cold On The Beach
Popped out for a walk along the beach yesterday and had a quick scribble into my A4 brown paper sketchbook with black, white and sanguine conté crayons. The sun was very bright in the sky but there were also loads of dark clouds massing between the horizon and the sun, which threw very strong highlightsContinue reading “Cold On The Beach”
