I was approached by our local vicar the other day. As well as being vicar in Hartlip, he's also vicar in the neighbouring village of Newington. ...

Porto City Hall Tower
Today's painting is the second, after The Transfer, to be inspired by a photo taken by my mate Olly on his recent holiday in Portugal. Whisper it,...
The Tatra Mountains, Slovakia
More watercolour! More European mountains! More Slovakia? No. Let me stop you there. These mountains are in Slovakia; yesterdays were in...
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
After seeing none of my portraits selling at the Upchurch art & craft exhibition over the weekend, discussing a couple of landscape exhibiting...
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 Transfer
Today's painting is based on a photo taken by an old friend Olly while (I believe) on holiday in Portugal. He said it had an Edward Hopper feel to...
Anastasia
June's started slowly, just like every month. And, as is usual when I'm a little short of match practice, I'm coming back with a figure painting....
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...
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...
Martini
Fourth up is Martini (I can't find his first name) played by Danny DeVito. This film is just packed with names. I've done Martini in purple just...
Billy Bibbit
Number three in the collection is Billy Bibbit, played by Brad Dourif. I've used the green marker here, reflecting Billy's innocence. Likeness...
Max Taber
Next up is Max Taber, played by Christopher Lloyd. Probably the scariest of all the patients in the film, like an unexploded bomb. It was a no...
