Stonehall, Hartlip
I'm still painting Hartlip scenes. Next up is Stonehall. There's something I like about houses that are obscured behind trees where even the...
The Rose And Crown In The Snow
I was out and about in the village yesterday, taking more photos and everybody was coming up to me asking whether I was taking photos of scenes to...
View From Hartlip Church
And it's another Hartlip landscape! This is the seventh and last of the Hartlip landscapes that I put together value plans for a while ago. If I...
Footpath From The Village Hall To The Park, Hartlip
Back onto my series of Hartlip paintings with a bit of a clunker. Starting colours in this one were Prussian blue, Indian yellow, rose dore and...
Wisteria Cottage, Hartlip
Still on the Hartlip landscapes and today it's Wisteria Cottage. Not that I can see much wisteria there if any. The main three colours today were...
St Michael’s & All Saints Church, Hartlip
Back in the garden again for another Hartlip painting. Today it's the local church. The plan was to use four colours: French ultramarine,...
Craiglea And Sanquhar, Hartlip
It's freezing outside so I only have one painting to add to the Hartlip collection today. I picked this pair of cottages because they were white....
The Street, Hartlip
Two paintings in one day! It's as if the hardest bit about painting is the planning and that creating a painting that's already been planned is so...
Thatch Cottage, Hartlip
And here it is, the first of a series of paintings based on my home village of Hartlip. This is Thatch Cottage, a cottage that's been rethatched...

Back to those three dogs. The plans for today were to: - make the other dogs' heads more similar in size to Dobbie's - achieved! - use black...
Still More Charlie, Dobbie And Mia
Had another attempt at Charlie, Dobbie and Mia. I'm getting pretty good at Charlie on the left and it's tending to look like the same portrait...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia Again
It's been a busy day. Three works of art but two of them were so bad I'm not even going to show them here on the blog. The first was an attempt...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia
It's all very well putting together a collection of marker drawings of the Rose And Crown dogs, but I think the landlady wants a painting. While a...
Charlie
The artwork is slowing down for a while now as I'm working on another actuarial contract during the week now. But at the weekend, I'm back from...
Dobbie
Too distraught after a bad experience with the inktense pencils, I thought I'd have another go at Dobbie but with the markers. This has come out...
Dobbie On The Sofa
Last night, when I nipped over to the Rose & Crown to pick up a takeaway (I had the duck pizza since you ask), the landlady suggested she might...
Annual Self Portrait 2020
I fancied another go with the inktense pencils but, rather than doing another female nude, thought I'd have a go at a self portrait. And,...
Exposure
Headed over the road to the Rose & Crown at Hartlip To order a lunchtime takeaway for tomorrow (GCSE results day). I couldn’t resist taking a...
