Here is one of my last sketches at my parents house – just a random view with a cat of course. To the right is one of my overstuffed suitcases ready for my homeward journey back to the Philippines.

955 – Boxing Day
Slumped in front of the telly on Boxing Day I looked up and decided to sketch what I could see hanging from the ceiling – decorations hanging from the light fitting. My mum and dad have an enormous collection of Christmas frippery, so they tend to get hung all over the place.

954 – Cats and snowmen
Christmas Day was spent at my sisters house, which much like my parents house is amply adorned with Christmas decorations as well as china cats. On one cupboard these are combined with some soft toy snowmen whose arms are fixed around the necks of two tall china cats…a good subject for a sketch.

953 – More roses in reflection
Here is another evening sketch. My dad bought my mum some more roses…a perfect sketching subject. On top of the cabinet is a little DVD player, which may have seemed fancy a few years ago but these days seems rather antiquated when so many people stream movies.

952 – Breakfast at Louisa’s
Here is the second sketch I did down in Brighton – having breakfast in the kitchen of my daughters shared house, while she packed her bags. She is a big fan of Marmite. One of her friends has decorated the kitchen with flamingos!

951 – Student flat
Here is a sketch I did one morning down in Brighton in my daughters bedroom. She is a dinosaur fan hence the soft toy on the bed. Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone who has followed, liked and commented on my sketches and blog.

950 – Kitchen theme
I am a bit behind posting sketches again, as I have been down in Brighton. This one was done at my parents house last Friday playing around with a new set of Faber-Castell brush pens (plus some watercolour).

949 – Cafe Rouge in Bury
On Wednesday I made a quick visit to Bury St. Edmunds to my favourite shop (Denny Bros – an art supply shop of course) and had a few moments to sketch this. After doing this drawing I found out that the red building is a 19th century Grade 1 listed building designed by Ipswich architect John Sherwell Corder. At the lower level is a terracotta frieze with dragons, serpents and the three crowns of St. Edmund….something I never would have known if I hadn’t sketched this.

948 – Old roses
Here is a quick doodle from the other evening – these roses are looking a bit tired in real lift, but my drawing seems to make them look more alive!

947 – Sunny spot behind the church
On Monday I sought out a bench in the sun near the church in Lavenham (St. Peter and St. Paul’s) and found a nice spot to sketch round the back. Despite the brief spell of sunshine I had to do this pretty quickly as I soon began to feel the cold.
