The weather on my holiday this year was mainly…

When your collage inadvertently matches your skirt
Grid collage - makes me think of found pieces of ceramic
Seaweed on the Gower
Recent bits and bobs from my sketchbook…
Collaged bits and bobs from my typing experiments... they remind me of high-rise buildings... now thinking of a typed cityscape concertina book. . .
A new year's resolution to draw more plants has got off to a slow but enjoyable start, with a slight diversion into twigs...
Lucky enough to see one of these rather special chaps last week when one flew into my neighbour's kitchen - amazing colours, and a real treat to see one up close.
A week in the Scottish Highlands… my absolutely most favourite place to be in the whole wide world. Lots of time for walking, reading, sketching and really important things like painting on shells.
Rubber stamp stencil prints
1950's vases and vessels
Sketching from a book called 'Indian Birds'

Since joining Instagram (@corinne_welch_) I have been neglecting this blog a little, lured by the instant gratification of regular, quick posts. However, I have been busy - getting ready for the BS9 Arts Trail in Bristol on 10/11 June. And also making the most of some time in the evenings to start developing new ideas in my sketchbook.

Since June last year I've been keeping a regular sketchbook - I've enjoyed working on a small scale (A6) and without the intention of anything being preparatory. Quite liberating, and the first time I've done this since before I started my MA in 2011. When left to my own devices, I revert to pattern and collage, and it's been fun to start painting again. Some pages above from the past few weeks...
And a chance to try out my new Chromacolour paints...
