Staithes harbour
March 28, 2010
I really enjoyed painting the red rooftops of Staithes and got my watercolours out to replace sketching with my iPhone for the first time for ages. I am rusty! In the end sketching with a felt pen worked best…
Watching the waves

Spent much of the weekend sketching the red rooves at Staithes, but enjoyed capturing the stillest people on the beach too.

Doodling with a sketch outline of a tree in Brushes and Vihgo apps on the iPhone.

March 19, 2010This artist’s work both intrigues and repels me. There is something of death, and preservation of bodies about the work, and the way it’s exhibited adds to that feeling.
iPhone art across the Atlantic
March 16, 2010Since I have been so very focussed on iPhone art recently (ref previous post) I have just decided to give in to it for now, and work towards an exhibition in June as part of Sheffield Open Up http://www.openupsheffield.co.uk/. This will be the first iPhone Art exhibition in Sheffield (I believe). I do miss painting – with paints – and drawing – on paper – but reckon I should just go with the flow. My joy in iPhone art has been inflated along with my ego since, as a result of my recent blog on iPhone art on the Open College of the Arts blog WeareOCA I was contacted by a journalist wanting to follow up on the story that led to an iPhone image of mine on the front page of a local paper in Oklahoma. The result of this latest interview? A piece on local radio in Sheffield about my art plus a Youtube story.

I expect my OCA tutor David has given up on me. David, its just that I am sooo into iPhone art its taken over! I do draw every day, and my observational skills have definitely improved, all be it that most of the sketches are on my iPhone. This was a ten minute sketch done today. Am going to start posting my iPhone images on my blog.
