Raven S In Coloured Pencil
As expected, after Wednesday's effort, I had to come up with a coloured pencil figure today. Today's model is Raven S, someone who worked out well...
Michaela II
Too much on this week. And even with nothing on today, I don't feel liberated enough to spend a few hours on a landscape or portrait, so it's a day...
Thomas Tuchel
When I asked ChatGPT for feedback on Miles Davis, it started raving about how that painting looked like a constellation against a starry...
Miles Davis
Back to watercolour portraits again. I'm more optimistic about my PAOTY chances than my LAOTY chances but I have to keep going at both. I saw...
The House Of The Past
Right, let's get back to pastel landscapes and show those LAOTY judges what I can do. I went for oil pastels today as it's still cold. I prefer...
The Forgotten Twelve
So here it is: my tribute to the twelve astronauts to have visited the moon before 2026 but never set foot on it. I'm calling them the forgotten...
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...

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...
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...

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...
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...
