A glimmer of sunshine
Sunbathing with coats on, Brighton beach.
Mug shots
A bit of Portraiture practice today, straight down in pen and wash. 
Sketched my nieces in super quick sittings, whilst they took turns to make a cake. Baking is a very serious business!
Happy St Patrick’s Day
Plenty of us Brits coveting one of these right now!
Across the tracks
A damp day in Brighton’s North Laine.
Thanks mum
Happy Mother’s Day!
This year my mum presented me with a selection of ‘art works’ I’ve given her over the years.
I’m very proud of the Brer Rabbit calendar, which even contains a word search!
Inside and out
Man with an iPad ignores man with a paper.
Snow at last!
Grabbed a few minutes for a quick sketch of the snow this morning. More ‘chiffon scarf’ than a ‘blanket’ covering, but a good try for Brighton. All gone by the end of the day though.
Calm before the storm
Beautiful blue skies in Brighton and Hove this morning. Hoping for snow tonight!
War horses in the dark
Trying to draw a horse is tough at the best of times, but sketching in the dark at the superb National Theatre production of War horse at the Brighton Centre is on another level.
The staggering puppet horses are brought to life by three very talented operators. I confess I ‘cheated’ on the final sketch and did it from a photo at home.
Outsiders
I am standing in church, singing along to a Taylor Swift song which I’ve never heard before. It’s OK though, because the karaoke style lyrics are on the big screen and a choir is leading us through it.
This was my first time at the Sunday Assembly Brighton, a monthly secular church on the border of Brighton and Hove.
The church is packed. This month the theme is ‘outsiders’.
One of the speakers, David, told a moving story about his experience as a volunteer host for the charity Sussex Nightstop. Afterwards we sang Teenage dirtbag.
The atmosphere was great and by the time we were singing starman I was really quite into it. Only in Brighton & Hove!
