Yesterday’s selection from The Book of Lapis started with drawings from Miramar, my friend’s house near Barmouth. For formatting reasons these too are from that holiday and we’re also party of a Thirty Days of Drawing challenge with an observational drawing each day. The first and second are a view of Cader Idris from Fairbourne beach on local slate. The next was a ceramic goats head made by one of our Not Just Collective artists and bought by Barbara for her conservatory while he was still one of our students on Foundation. Next is the view down the lane from Miramar to the sea. The next weekend was Pride in Liverpool and we had gone for a barbecue at the home of another very generous friend so I made a terrible drawing from his balcony. Next are a few from round my house of a ceramic head of Blessed Oliver Plunket, a potato that had gone mad while we had been in Wales, a Green Man for the Summer Solstice then and now and a carved wooden mask of a monkey demon #sketchbook #drawing #drawingsketch #nostalgia #memories #observationaldrawing #cymru #beautifulwales #caderidris #slate #greenman #summersoltice #queerartist #liverpoolartist #holidays (at Barmouth North Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNYRIJMF5o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The view of the North side of Cader Idris, wish I had more time to go for a climb. #caderidris #snowdonia #mountainrange #mountain #peak #snow #Wales #travel #traveling #visiting #instatravel #instago #outdoors #landscape #water #sky #nature #countryside #daylight #valley #cropland #scenic #grass #rural #agriculture #cloud (at Cadair Idris) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ivXQsDYtW/?igshid=1lx5dkb3supmx

The Welsh three peaks. Did you know there's only 7 meters difference in height between Pen y Fan and Cader Idris? If you've walked them both you know it doesn't feel like it. Starting point for Pen y Fan is about 400 meters so you only climb half of it. #3peaks #3peakschallenge #welsh3peaks #welshthreepeaks #snowdon #penyfan #caderidris #snowdonia #breaconbeacons #mountainrange #mountains #mountain #Wales (at Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jlhM1Dpa9/?igshid=12f6pklfe9xgu
