Coming Soon To The Rose And Crown, Hartlip
Now this is exciting. The Rose And Crown, my local pub in Hartlip, wants to put some of my local painting up on the wall of its restaurant. It...
Julijske Alpe, Slovenia
Back to watercolours today. I've played all the Grateful Dead in the box of CDs that currently sits in my studio, so I won't be jamming with the...
The Lightning Tree, Queendown Warren
I’m on a coloured pencil landscape roll and, as promised yesterday, I'm having another go at combining coloured pencils with fineliners. This...
Barbed Wire Fence, Queendown Warren
With the football on three times a day and me needing to fit in my four hour walk, the days are looking a little short at the moment. Not too...
The Lane That Ran East And West

Queendown Warren: Rain On The Way
Sometimes my choice of what to paint is based on some really weird reasons. Today I looked the box of CDs I have in the studio and thought it would...
John Henry Holliday
Yeah, June is taking a while to get started and I've gone for another easy option. It's a posterised portrait and, not only that, I've pretty well...

The Man Who Found Out
After fixing a load of charcoal paintings the other day, I was in the mood for some charcoal action but took the day off yesterday to have another...

No painting today as it's the first Sunday in the month, which means tea and homemade cakes up at the local church. Instead, I looked at the sun...
The One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Collection
And here's the full collection. Wow! This is exactly what I wanted and more. The monotone paintings all look incomplete and yet when put...
Charlie Cheswick
And finally we have Charlie Cheswick, played by Sydney Lassick. This was the portrait I've been most looking forward to doing. Seeing this photo...
Dale Harding
Nearly there now. Number seven in the collection is Dale Harding, played by William Redfield. A decent enough likeness but quite a boring...
Bruce Frederickson
Next in the queue for meds at Nurse Ratched's booth is Bruce Frederickson, played by Vincent Schiavelli. He doesn't say or do much in the film but...
Chief Bromden
I don't normally do this but I've done a third marker painting in a day. This is The Chief, played by Will Sampson. He seemed the character most...
