Emmental on toast before Tennis - November 2022

Emmental on toast before tennis — a bit of colour in my little A6 sketchbook. I caught Tony as he was leaning to read a page of his magazine, cheese toast in hand.

The sky over Windsor today is low and grey. Tony’s tennis kit is black, but somehow that purple pencil leapt into my hand.

Afternoon nap in a rocking chair - October 2019

I drew this scene from life in October 2019. I was with my mother in the USA on one of my twice-a-year visits to be with family. That rocking chair dates from my mother's childhood, and my mother's elder sister Doris knitted the cream-colour woollen shawl.
