Lounging In Lockdown…Book Is Done (Day 55)

Blog, Daily Life, UncategorizedBy Roisín CuréMay 8, 20208 Comments

I am Lounging In Lockdown, because I handed in my latest book for publication the other day. Yes, I know I have mentioned this before now but I am going to milk it for a while longer! My dear husband Marcel came home with a bottle of Blanc de Blancs. “My mother loved this,” he…

Wednesday 6th May I give my zoom class to a group of engaged and dedicated students. It is a taster class and I have nearly 30 participants. The only drawback is that there are too many people to get to know properly. The subject that we draw is a sketch of a pot plant in…

Living In Lockdown Day 52: Long, Long Ago…

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 5, 20204 Comments

Sunday 3rd May A hundred and fifteen years ago, the last person to live in Tyrone House packed up and left. Actually, that’s not quite true: the caretaker stayed there for another few years, and was carried out in his bed when Republicans set the house on fire. I’ve heard many stories about the unpopularity…

Living In Lockdown – Sketching At Home (Day 52)

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréMay 4, 20206 Comments

Sunday 3rd May Lockdown trends I have done: sourdough (can’t open the jar anymore because the lid is now glued on with starter); baking (my daughter does it all now); yoga (every day I do ten or twenty minutes and I hope this is one craze I won’t drop); zoom classes (fun!); made masks (they…

Saturday 2nd May Plants Sketching your houseplants of not as hard as it might seem. I am going to show you how I did mine. You start by looking for a plant you think would make a suitable contender. You want one with some broad leaves, or you’ll get frustrated when things get fiddly. Then…

Living In Lockdown – Onwards and Upwards

Saturday 25th April Paddy cooks dinner. Tonight he is doing oven fried chicken. We are experiencing a tumultuous time at home, and it is lovely to be looked after by Paddy. He looks at us all tucking into the meal he has made. “It’s such a lovely feeling to know people are relying on you,”…

Friday 24th April Midday, coffee break No more Living In Lockdown blogs! I will go on posting sketches, because I love to sketch and there’s a wealth of gorgeous things to record and share with you, but there’s going to be a lot less chat. Instead I will offer one or two Zoom classes every…

Living In Lockdown, Day 42

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréApril 24, 20202 Comments

Thursday 23rd April 4.00pm I haven’t given up on trying to capture dandelions in watercolour. The race is on, because light grey spheres of the fluffy clocks are beginning to encroach upon the beds of sunny yellow heads; I don’t have long. I’m still struggling, and I may have to change tack. A fortnight ago…

Living In Lockdown, Day 41

Blog, Daily LifeBy Roisín CuréApril 23, 20202 Comments

Wednesday 22nd April 12.30pm We all sit outside and have elevenses (time is meaningless these days). My husband Marcel and I and our son Paddy (18) have coffee, and Liv (15) has tea. Honor (20) hasn’t yet made an appearance. Coffee break is sacred in our house. The coffee has frothy milk in it, it…
