This sketch was done outside Market Market! (the local mall) waiting for my wife so we could go and buy new glasses together. In this area they always have little booths set up with people hawking their wares over the electronic equivalent of a megaphone. Usually the stalls seems to be selling what look like cheap knock-offs. The nicest part of this spot is the curvy seats decorated with broken tiles…difficult to paint though!

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.

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.

Over last weekend I went down to the west of the UK to visit some friends. The weather was really foul on Saturday – blowing a gale, rainy and cold. So instead of going out we sat by the fire, watched Strictly Come Dancing, ate dinner and drank G&T’s. Of course I didn’t concentrate on Strictly but sketched instead. My friends have two horses stabled nearby, but in this drawing you can see the legs of some cast metal ones.

I am a bit late on posting my sketches as I have been busy visiting friends, but here is one from last week, done one evening…sitting in a different spot in my parents living room.

Here is an evening doodle, done after everyone except me had gone to bed, of the bits and pieces laying around in the living room…plus of course two china cats!

We went out to the Lavenham fair on Saturday but it was too crowded (and cold) to sketch, so instead here is another evening sketch of another corner of my parents house. In the picture are my niece Erin with her brother Osian.

Another evening doodle of yet more china cats – this one done while watching Star Trek!

Sometimes it just seems obvious what to sketch in the evening – I couldn’t help noticing that all these things on the coffee table were orange or yellow-orange…even the picture of Gandhi on his autobiography! The papaya comes from the organic market that we shop at on Sunday mornings – huge and very sweet.
