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...
The Rose & Crown, Hartlip
First the news. I will be heading along to filming of Landscape Artist Of The Year in a couple of days as a wildcard entry. That's why I've been...
Archway Into St Michael’s & All Saints Church, Hartlip
Another bit of plein air painting and this time it's my local church in Hartlip. Just like last time, it's in the key of purple cool, made up of...
Stockbury Church
Time for a new experience. To get some practice in (just in case I make it on to Landscape Artist Of The Year as a wildcard) I thought I'd better...
Two Self Portraits
All these portraits I've been rattling out with markers and I only just realised that I've not done any self portraits with the markers yet. Time...
Clive
Another portrait. This is Clive the bantering butcher from the local farmshop at MB Farms (http://www.mbfarms.co.uk/index.html) in Stockbury,...
Nathan In Colour
My first exercise with these new markers was to trace out the picture I'd drawn of Nathan a couple of months ago and apply a bit of colour to it....
Nathan
This is the result of one of the exercises in Keys To Drawing by Bert Dodson. It's a portrait of one of my kids in the style of Henri Matisse. I...
Father And Son
That review of Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain is coming soon, I promise!
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...
Trees Against A Green Sky
25 May 2018 I thought I'd try painting from real life. Well, I say real life. These trees are based on a couple of trees just over the fence in my...
