I’ve done a little bit more work on this painted portrait I started a while back. It’s based on sketchbook drawings of my young relative. It’s been quite a learning experience as I’ve only started painting seriously since the Covid19 lockdown started – I’m a printmaker and scribbler. But I’m pleased with the way it’sContinue reading “Just Some Tweaking”

#StandingStoneSunday 5
It’s #Standingstonesunday again and I’ve been looking through the painting / drawings I did of some of the ancient stone monuments of South Wales a while back. This is the rocking stone of Pontypridd …. and it’s huge! There’s one stone on top of another and when you stand on the top one and jump,Continue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 5”
#Caturday Archives 5
Aaaaand it’s #Caturday again, so I’ve been raiding my kitty archives. Here’s Sparta Puss mooching around while I scribbled her. Each little sketch took a few seconds, I doubt if I spent as much as a minute on any of them. Sketching at speed is good for focusing on the important details, capturing the essenceContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 5”
Tentacles On my Head
For the first time in many years, I went into the sea a couple of weekends ago. I’ve never learnt to swim, despite living right by the sea for most of my life. The film Jaws didn’t help. I saw it when I was in my teens and convinced myself that great white sharks couldContinue reading “Tentacles On my Head”
Painting Klimt – A Short Video
Back in the Great Lockdown of 2020, I painted along with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook every week, copying works by great artists. I’ve always loved this portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer and gave it a go. It took AGES Here’s a very short film of just a tiny bit ofContinue reading “Painting Klimt – A Short Video”
Sticking Stuff
I’m working on a couple of collages as part of a recent commission – all a bit secret at the moment, but here are some sections. The brief is to work with a group of people to develop text-based collages using recycled printed paper. It’s great, they’re all so different. All will be revealed inContinue reading “Sticking Stuff”
#StandingStoneSunday 4
It’s #StandingStoneSunday on social media again. Here’s Maen Llia, a large Bronze Age standing stone near Ystradfellte in the Brecon Beacons National Park. I painted / drew this en plein air while I was journeying across South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, a few years back. It was FREEZING! Dewi’s working on his newContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 4”
#Caturday Archives 4
It’s Saturday / #Caturday and here’s another from my kitty archives. This is Little Ming, our floofy tortoiseshell rescue cat, now sadly no longer with us. But she was 18 when she died which was really good considering the awful life she started out with, poor little mite. Here she is lying on top ofContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 4”
Digital Tryout.
Husb has been searching around for a free digital drawing programme for me, to replace the “Markers” I used on my old Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet. He found “Concepts” so I’m giving it a tryout. I did this very quick scribble in a darkened room while Husb watched the TV. It’s got potential, not badContinue reading “Digital Tryout.”
Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.
Here’s the last of the sketches I did in Elysium Bar the other evening. Gigs are good for scribbling because people are generally focused on the performers and keep reasonably still. Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore were playing – check them out, they’re fab. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a youngerContinue reading “Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.”
