Here are a few peculiar things you can see outside a furniture shop (Marshbeck Interiors) opposite where my parents live. I’ve these passed several times and couldn’t resist sketching them. There is an elephant that seems to be made of driftwood and two huge chairs, one which straddles a low wall. I guess the chairs are there as a sign for the shop…as for the elephant, I am not sure!

A quick late night/early morning sketch in our house again… I was so tired when I was drawing this I wasn’t sure how it would turn out when I looked at it in the morning!

Another late night sketch – the title speaks for itself. I tried out a new ‘dagger’ paint brush on this one – but the surface of the sketchbook doesn’t like much working…I thinking it’s called ‘pilling’.

Another around the house doodle done today – our heavily laden bookshelf.

Work has taken over my time for a while, so I haven’t posted in ages – but I’ve still been finding the odd moment to draw. This is one of my favourite interior scenes (just the table and a few chairs) – I like the intensity and texture I can get mixing ink, watercolour and watercolour pencils, plus the abstract quality. If only I could get this when I draw outside.

Here is one of my night time paintings. I wanted to go for something fairly minimal but with a solid feeling.

I thought I’d practice my drapery in this one…definitely need more practice! It would probably have been easier if I’d used watercolour or pastel.

Yesterday we bought a new couch and got this red footstool as well – it adds a bit of colour to our rather brown living room. This is me testing it out.

Today I just did a doodle without thinking too much, of the table and chairs – with a Uni PIN pen. Got to get out to find something more interesting to draw tomorrow.
