Sketching in public (gasp)
We strolled down to Windermere Jetty museum yesterday morning and treated ourselves to a coffee, sitting outside with the usual stunning views of the lake. I’m getting braver at sketching in public, so took a sketchpad and pen and plucked up courage to draw the view of the mountains at the head of the lake.…

Sketching trees (and people!)
We took advantage of the good weather yesterday evening (on a Tuesday, for a change!) for another outdoor art session for Windermere Art Society. A gang of us met up in the relaxing surroundings of Windermere’s Library Gardens to chat and sketch. This is a huge redwood tree in the grounds, drawn in fibre tip…

View of a view
It rained all morning but the sun broke through after lunch so I went for a walk. Stopped off at the Biskey Howe viewpoint and the view towards the head of Windermere was so lovely I wanted to sketch it, but only had a tiny notebook and a biro in my handbag! Needs must, as…

There are also artworks by other members of my monthly pastels group available and I’m genuinely blown away to have my art featured in such good company.…

This is the display of mini canvases painted (mostly in acrylics) by various society members – and me! Mine is the one roughly in the middle, with green…

My first art exhibition!
I’m so excited that my work is being featured in this year’s Windermere Art Society exhibition, alongside many other works by the Society’s very talented members. Tomorrow is setting-up/hanging day and I’ll be helping out, as well as taking five of my pictures along – four charcoal drawings and an acrylic painting on a small…

Outdoor sketch in the woods
There was an outdoor painting/sketching session for Windermere Art Society last night, and for once it (gasp) wasn’t raining! A group of us wandered down to the local beauty spot of Sheriffs Walk and although it was too dark under the trees to do much art, we took some photos and then headed back to…

Swan drawing framed
Yay! That’s the first of my pictures all finished, framed and ready to go off to the Windermere Art Society exhibition in August. This charcoal drawing is based on a photo of a rather pushy swan I “met” by the lake shore in Bowness a few years ago. It was clearly after my sandwiches, so…
