A second painting today and it's another abstract with inks. I was struggling to think of a name for it, so just picked the name of a Tania Tikaram...
All Landscapes
Horsehead Quarry
I thought I'd try something different. After checking out some Jean Lurssen videos on YouTube I thought I'd invest in some acrylic inks and have a...
The Old Man Of Storr
It's a double painting day today. This time I've gone for a conventional landscape for the first time in a while. It's the Old Man of Storr on the...
Sunshine Through The Brambles
I got the idea for this one yesterday afternoon, staring out of the lounge window as Bradley Walsh was asking "What has the chaser put?" Not that...
Snow In The Mountains
And here's the second snowy painting of the day. Brought to you by the colours cobalt blue, quinacridone magenta, raw sienna and burnt umber. I'm...
Rubbish Snow Painting
There's been a bit of snow overnight so I thought I'd have a go at doing some snow painting. In fact I did two paintings at the same time. This is...
Valdeinfierno
I got the idea for this one from a photo I saw on Facebook of three people hiking through Valdeinfierno. A bit of googling reveals it to be...
Colourful Sky
This was based on a photo of the Aurora Borealis where the lights were all in green. I didn't manage to get the greens right and the sky looks...
First Gesso
Today's painting follows hot on the heels of yesterday's, mainly because I spread a load of gesso on a watercolour sheet to dry overnight. It's my...
SIAS Newsletter November 2018
And here's another one. This is called SIAS Newsletter November 2018 after the email that included the stock photo this was based on. It's getting...
Ugly Forest Path

Angel Of The North Under Four Different Skies

Hadrian’s Wall
25 June 2018 I'd had some feedback that I was good at painting trees, so thought I'd better look for a good tree to paint. A bit of googling of...
A Mexican Tree
19 June 2018 And it's another bad one. It's looking like I might be reverting back to my old standards. The painting's based on a photo. I can't...
Time Portal
11 June 2018 This is bad. Very bad. I still think the idea was a good one. A landscape on a nice day, but with a sort of lens in front of it...
Lightning Over Henley-On-Thames
6 June 2018 Some more lightning, this time over Henley-On-Thames. You can probably tell that this painting's been cropped. There was a car and...
Icebergs Off Newfoundland
6 June 2018 There's a village somewhere in Newfoundland that enjoys the sight every year of all these huge icebergs floating slowly past. It...
