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.

Here is the quick sketch I did today – my daughters suggestion (though she said it was a fire hydrant).

Here is a sketch done one evening, of my dad watching TV (the weather), fire blazing away. It may look like it but it’s not a real fire – it’s gas with fake coals…but it feels cosy!

Sticking with a Christmas theme (can’t help it really at this time of year), here is the watercolour and ink sketch I did yesterday at my sisters house, where we spent Christmas day. That’s a real wood burning fire on the right, but a china cat curled up!
