Seaside Scribbles and Rock Chick hair. Back to my sketchbooks of August 2013 and I seem to have spent a lot of time on Swansea beach, must have been a good summer. I had a long, shaggy, rock chick hairdo at the time. I really like my hair like that, but it’s a bit ofContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 32”

#Caturday Silhouette 19: In The Garden
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I stuck the negative silhouette of our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William ChatNoir, onto a window with a blob of BluTack and took a photo of our garden through it.

A few more sketches from my “brown paper phase” back in July 2013. It’s ordinary brown wrapping paper stuck into sketchbooks with Pritt stick glue. I should do it again, it’s very effective. Fortes is an ice cream parlour in Limeslade, west Swansea, one of the Welsh Italian ice-cream families.
Sketching In The Park.
Here’s another little sketch from my recent holiday in Yorkshire. Husb and I went for a stroll around Saltaire and stopped for a cuppa – it was unseasonably warm.
Hands And Daffodils.
I haven’t posted on this blog for a few days because Husb and I have been away on holiday, exploring the North of England. We spent a happy few hours in Salts Mill in Saltaire, absorbing the fabulous artwork of David Hockney. There’s also a stunning exhibition of photos by Ian Beesley. We had dinnerContinue reading “Hands And Daffodils.”
Smiles And Scribbles.
Here’s the last of the sketches I made last weekend at the Omnichron gig, a happy audience. It’s nice drawing a group as I can get to practice scale with the different figures there.
A Couple Of Heads.
A couple of scribbled heads from Friday evening, the gig of fabulous local band Omnichron. And I picked the first rhubarb of the season today, loads of it in the garden, it’s been unusually warm lately and I think it’s brought the rhubarb along a bit early.

Heads, Hand and Feet, a selection of sketchbook drawings from way back in July 2013, back before Covid19, remember those days? I went through a phase of sticking brown wrapping paper into my sketchbooks and drawing over it. I can’t remember why I stopped, I really like it. I’m not so keen on drawing ontoContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 30”
#Caturday Silhouette 18: Mari Lwyd Again.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I have put the positive silhouette of Our Bill (the rescue cat) onto a rough proof print of my latest Mari Lwyd linocut. I find that with traditional grey lino, it can take one or two attempts to get a good print from a newly cut block, soContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 18: Mari Lwyd Again.”
Scribbling And Gigging
Husb and I went to a gig this evening, put on by Yes Cymru and featuring one of our favourite local bands, Omnichron. I guess I’d describe their music as psychedelic dance. Had a great time. Of course, I had to have a scribble or two.
