Before I say anything else, the mystery has been solved. Someone on LinkedIn worked out that the twelve subjects in this collection are the twelve...
All Artwork
Michael Collins
Number five in the collection and things are starting to get interesting because we've reached Apollo 11. This is Michael Collins, the Command...
Thomas Stafford
Fourth in the series is Thomas Stafford, Commander of Apollo 10. I'm doing these portraits in order of their Apollo missions and in Commander then...
William Anders
Third up in the latest collection is William Anders, Lunar Module Pilot in Apollo 8. I guess he must have spent a lot of time making the tea as the...
Jim Lovell
Next up is Jim Lovell, Command Module Pilot (CMP) in Apollo 8 and, more famously, Commander of Apollo 13, the famously aborted moon landing mission...
Frank Borman
And so it begins. It's time for another marker portrait collection. It's the biggest so far with twelve portraits. It's a collection that's been...
Harcourt Fenton Mudd
Today's portrait subject is Harry Mudd, an interstellar conman, okayed by Roger C. Carmel in two episodes of Star Trek TOS. I went for the trippy...
The Batphone
Another posterised portrait. This is Adam West and Burt Ward playing Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson in the 1960s Batman TV series. I deliberately...
From All Of These Signs Saying “Sorry But We’re Closed”
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly was on the telly the other day. It's one long gallery of painting ideas but the shot that sprang out at me this time...
‘Cause I’ve Run Every Red Light On Memory Lane
Today it's soft pastels. These feel more like a summer medium than a winter medium and, with oil pastels being best suited to the winter, the two...
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,...
