Burning Of The Midnight Lamp
Yesterday's painting took a while and left me a little drained so I was tempted to take a day off today but I have a physio class tomorrow that...
Peter Wyngarde
Time for another posterised watercolour portrait in an attempt to impress the PAOTY judges. This is the late actor Peter Wyngarde who specialised...
NadiaR
I thought I'd just chill out today with an inktense figure painting rather than focusing on impressing Artist Of The Year judges. Today's subject...
Rainy Day, Dream Away
It's another oil pastel landscape today. I found a photo online of the arch that connects Hartlip Church to the orchards behind it. It's an arch...
(Buckingham Nicks Era) Fleetwood Mac
Of course one good reason for painting John McVie is that I now have completed Buckingham-Nicks era Fleetwood Mac lineup. I'm still a Danny Kirwan...
John McVie
I’m still looking to come up with stuff in the same style as my Artist Of The Year submissions and that will hopefully impress any visiting judges....
Christine McVie And Lindsey Buckingham
Time to kick off the portrait season and to start impressing any visiting PAOTY judges. Today's subjects are former Fleetwood Mac members Christine...
Foxy Lady
And now the Artist Of The Year run up starts. I need to building up my collection of watercolour portraits and pastel landscapes for PAOTY and...
Krys II
As I said yesterday, after a couple of landscape paintings featuring the tundra supergranulators, I needed to do something different before a...
A Secret Worship
For today's painting, the first serious painting of the year, I thought I'd try out something Christopher Stephen recently tried out on YouTube,...

Chateau De Villeneuve De Milhac
It's the 16th of December now and I should be settling into my year end hiatus, sitting back, reading books, watching Westerns and reflecting on...
Muhammad Ali
This one has taken me a couple of days. It's a coloured pencil portrait of Muhammad Ali. I'm not a great boxing fan, to be honest, but Ali was...
Tom Read Wilson
After a break of 27 days I was back to watercolour today. I thought I'd have a go at Tom Read Wilson, runner up in I'm A Celebrity 2025 and the...
Dave Barnes
Because (i) I was feeling a bit tired after yesterday's efforts, and (ii) I came back from my morning walk without a painting and plan in mind, it...
Stowes Hill
No excuses today. I'm back in the studio doing some proper painting after Thursday's loosener. Rather than doing another local landscape, I went...
Luana In Inktense Pencil
The dog's pretty well back to normal now after two bouts of illness, so I've been able to get back out to the studio. As is normal after a longish...
George Orwell
The painting's slowed down this week as our dog's had a big health scare and isn't yet back to normal. So I’ve been keeping her company a lot of...
Steve Clarke
There's been too much other stuff going on lately for me to be able to do any painting since Saturday. One of those distractions was Scotland's...
