2012 was a year of hospital visits with several very poorly elderly relatives. It was a chance to sit quietly and sketch. I met some great people on the ward, their faces full of character and experience. The drawing at bottom left is my young great-niece who was fascinated by the murmuration of starlings thatContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives 14: The Hospital Visits.”

Sketchbook Archives 13: They Don’t Stay Little!
Out and about, people watching and scribbling them into my sketchbook, from August 2012, about a year after I started this blog. They’re all drawings of Husb and family, and all the children are grown up now. They don’t stay little for long.
#Caturday Saturday
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again, don’t the weeks rush by quickly? Here’s Sparta Puss all cwtched on a blankie on a giant cushion on the window seat, posing in front of some brilliant sunflowers.

Buildings from the past, sketchbook drawings from July 2012, about a year after I started this blog. I used to do a lot more sketching en plein air, but that was before the Covid lockdowns. I’ve never really got back to that level since, I find I’m much less likely to go out and aboutContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 12”
#Caturday: Almost Together.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a photo of Bill (William ChatNoir) in the foreground and Sparta Puss in the background, just a metre or so from each other. Bill’s on the bed, Sparta Puss on the window seat and both are trying very hard to ignore each other. It’s been 14 months since weContinue reading “#Caturday: Almost Together.”

Faces from the past, sketchbook drawings from July 2012, about a year after I started this blog. Husb and family feature in a few, and people out and about in cafes, with a couple of old friends. We’re all older now.
#Caturday – The Chunky One.
I know it’s late 😀 Yesterday was one of those hectic days – nice though. So here’s an analytical sketch of the chunky one – Sparta Puss, our naughty tortie. An analytical sketch is one that tries to analyse the shapes and get used to what’s going on before developing further. I’ll probably do 2Continue reading “#Caturday – The Chunky One.”

These sketches were posted on my new-ish blog in June 2012. They’re quite a mix of where I was out and about around that time. There are some people dancing at a gig, a Big Issue seller and some shop security men on Swansea’s upper Oxford street. A friend washing up in his kitchen andContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 10”

I posted these sketchbook scribbles less than a year after I started this blog, back in May 2012. Three of them are of a biker’s funeral at the local Gospel Hall, then there are random people and my little great-nephew, who is much bigger now and got married a few weeks ago.
#Caturday Saturday.
Here’s our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William Chat Noir formerly Phoebe. She was very timid and depressed when she came to us, just over a year ago. She was 14 years old, her human had passed and she was handed into a rescue centre. She had been with her human since she was aContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday.”
