Caveman



Am back working with the skateboard theme. The 'caveman',I believe , is when you hold your board,jump down steps and then land on your board!

This painting shows the action set in my garden,I have adjusted the paved area to represent steps in order to include the skateboard figure in my garden. Subsequent paintings show the figure in the actual setting which is in the oval basin down in Cardiff Bay.

Combination Pip


I could do a musical Pip? or a combination of musical body art Pip?

Pip


I normally work with a fineliner pen,but for this drawing of Pip I tried out my new pen.I think it would be fab to draw Pip after a meeting with Raphaelle the body artist ...have emailed her!!

Penarth Esplanade,launching the boats

I went down to Penarth sea-front every day for about three weeks in order to draw views of Flatholm Island.I ended up drawing the fishermen and yachtsmen and women launching their boats.This is a final painting of launching the boats,although I may yet do some more work on it.
