Since last time...

Its June 2012 and its about time I got back on the blog. So I'm nearly seven months pregnant and will soon be finishing work (with a serious intention never to go back to waitressing)... this means, in theory, that for at least two months I can be very creative and productive before my new 'full time job' starts.


Here's some sort of recent stuff:

2012- bits of sketchbooks

 Bergen, Norway

Lawrence Hill, Bristol UK

The twelfth month...

Some designs for greetings cards, to be sold at various Christmas fairs around Bristol over the coming month...

Catching Up

This blog entry is a bit of a mishmash of assorted recent(ish) things I should have posted a while ago.

Below are two of my images from the Animals exhibition at Grounded last month- a really nice space I was pleased to have my work hung in.

Girl's Best Friend

Untitled

 A rough charcoal drawing of Todd doing one of his favourite things-napping.

A pretty brown seagull in Castle Park, it just looked so lonely.

Another Illustration for Great Expectations

"I used to stand about the churchyard on Sunday evenings when night was falling,  comparing my own perspective with the windy marsh view, and making out some likeness between them by thinking how flat and low both were"



An Evening Well Spent

Having not attended any life drawing for about a year,I decided to go to the Life Drawing class at Tobacco Factory and was very glad I did. This weeks session was a lot of fast drawings which suits me perfectly. Found it very relaxing to draw very freely, almost without thinking about it. Will definitely be going again.

ANIMALS

On Saturday morning, I hung my work at Grounded Cafe in Bedminster as part of a month long exhibition with Chandra Almeida, Dave Bain and Alex Bertram-Powell.

The evening event will be next Monday 10th October with live music and nibbles.

Pictured here is Lovely the cat (Carmen Almeida responsible for ridiculous name) napping on a suitcase next to my framed pieces.
