Let The Train Take The Strain.

One of my Mari Lwyd linocuts (detail below) features in the current exhibition at the Queen Street Gallery in Neath. The gallery is lovely and Neath is a great little town with a good market, an ancient standing stone, a Roman fort, a Medieval castle, and some tasty eateries. The Gallery is just a fewContinue reading “Let The Train Take The Strain.”

Sketchbook Archives: 36 – Just Sitting

Some more scribbles from my sketchbooks, this time from December 2013 when I seemed to be sitting in a lot of places with other people just sitting.

#Caturday Archives: 21

Here’s a blast from the past for this week’s #Caturday Saturday, from 2011. Husb and I had two naughty torties, Bobbit and Ming. They hated each other but had to learn to live together for many years. I drew this just a few weeks before Bobbit died, of very old age. She was very poorlyContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 21”

Here are some Golden Oldies from my sketchbooks in December 2013, I seem to have drawn a lot of rug rats and ankle-biters! I must have been to some family birthday parties, there were a lot of small sprogs in the family 12 years ago!

In two hours! 😀 We used canvas boards, acrylic paints and palette knives. This is a smallContinue reading “Writhing Strokes…”

#Caturday

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s my silhouette of Little Bill looking at a copy I did of van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom at Arles. Throughout the Covid lockdown, I spent my Friday lunchtimes on Facebook, joining in with the artist Ed Sumner, who ran the Cheese and Wine Paint Club. He did 72Continue reading “#Caturday”

#Caturday Silhouette: 22

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and this week I put the positive silhouette of little Bill, our elderly rescue cat, onto a copy I made of a David Hockney painting during lockdown. The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the greatContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 22”
