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,...

More watercolour! More European mountains! More Slovakia? No. Let me stop you there. These mountains are in Slovakia; yesterdays were in...
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 Humber Bridge Under Three Different Skies
With one eye on my preferred Landscape Of The Year venue, today was a day to paint another bridge under three different skies. Unfortunately my...
Cammie III
Time to try something new. In that Burne Hogarth book I read about something called sculptural light. It's a light and shade scheme that ignores...

I felt like doing a portrait today. I've been doing a lot of landscapes in an attempt to impress LAOTY judges (newsflash: I've not made it to a pod...
Queendown Warren In Three Complementary Colour Schemes
Not much time to paint again today but I do need to keep in practice. I decided to go for an experimental painting that wouldn't take much...
AnaIv In Artgraf
I only had the energy for a quick painting today, so went for an idea that's been kicking around for a few days. A line drawing using fineliners...
When I’m Paid I Always See The job Through
I can't do too many watercolours in a row without pining for a change of media so I was in the coloured pencils today, doing a portrait of Angel...
