My Comfy Spot.

I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather for a few days so I had an easygoing Sunday, staying at home and not doing very much, like Sundays used to be when I was a kid. I had a scribble, looking at a corner of our living room from my comfy spot on the settee.

#Caturday: Just Scribbling

It’s getting stormy outside, Autumn is definitely here so Husb and I and cwtched inside the house with the cats. I had a quick scribble when Sparta Puss sat next to me. She was looking a bit cross, but that’s not unusual for her!

Sketchbook Archives: 40

Technically, not sketchbooks, they’re paintings, although they started out as sketches so I’m stretching it a bit 😀 I made these paintings of fellow Swansea artists between March and May 2014, and in between I spent April on an artist residency in Pakistan. They were exhibited in the Fringe Arts Bath festival later that year.Continue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 40”

It’s the Summer Exhibition at Queen Street Gallery in Neath this month, and I have five screenprints in the show. These small unique screenprints are based on drawings I did from the Swansea Museum archives – taxidermy birds and invertebrates. I also included some imagery based on rubbish – the sort that ends up inContinue reading
