Sally Wakelin – Studies in Creativity
Paintings, drawings, sculpture and writing
A favourite building with its Art Deco curving front, large windows and particularly the white on white of the faience lettering, more details from RCAHMW.
This space is available for rent – just imagining it as a dance venue or artist’s studio, huge windows on two adjoining sides.
The website I have been preparing for Glenys is almost ready to launch, here are screenshot previews of some of the pages. The links are not live yet.
I will post a link to the live site when it is ready.
Green is everywhere but its good to find something other than just the green of grass or leaves, the “green” of the golf course apart.
I visited the Jardin des Plantes botanical gardens in Paris in November, the leaves turning to a luminous yellow set against the dark green pines and vivid green moss on the tree trunk all caught my eye but what centres the image the pensive young man, his feet flexed in concentration. And the green plastic hose running along the edge of the lawn.
My booted friend saw this grating in Portmerion and knew I’d like it.
Crossing over thew railway line in Blaenau Ffestiniog, I presume the wooden rails are to stop people wandering off from the official route.
The watermill at Blaenau Ffestiniog, water drips running down in the gaps between the railings and below, the hods of thre wheel juxtaposed against the perspective lines of the slates on the roof beyond.
Snowdonia – a week of grey skies and mists and just two days of lovely sunshine – watching the dawn from the skylight window looking over the hills to the north east. The ‘mist’ in the valley in the foreground is really just the vapour from the condensing boiler but I thought it added something good to that dark space.
Looking away to the north west, just visible – a flock of white birds chasing away the black birds.
Back again to the north east the sun finally lighting up all the details of the valleys and trees through the mist.
