I've had twelve paintings up on the wall of the restaurant at the Rose & Crown for a while now. Occasionally the odd one is sold but the...

The Wrong Kind Of Snow
After all that fun yesterday with the tundra supergranulators, I was ready to give them another go today, with another snowy mountain scene but one...
Crash Landing
And here's the companion piece to go with 1983…(A Merman I Should Turn To Be). The process for painting it is exactly the same. Both paintings...
1983…(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)
I wanted to do something today that didn't involve using a photographic source. The idea was that I could watch the World Championship Chess at...
Tundra Colours
This painting was long overdue. I'd had these tundra colours for a while and had painted a few snowy scenes in Nuuk, Greenland plus the odd U.K....
Look Over Yonder
I'm still on the watercolours today but not in the mood to work long and hard at a painting. Maybe it's because The Ashes are on; maybe it's...
Egyptian Sorcery
Just a quick one today. I had that one crackle pasted board still waiting to be used and wanted to cross it off my list so here goes. I started...
A Bit Of Wood
So what have you painted today? A tree. What have you called it? A Bit Of Wood - it's the name of an Alg…. Is it an interesting composition?...
A Victim Of Higher Space
I enjoyed painting the foreground in that last painting so much that I decided to go straight into another painting afterwards. So I reached for...
Somewhere
Well this is something new. I'm writing up a painting before I've taken a photo because it's being left to dry overnight and seems to still be...
The South Wind
Yesterday was a day off but I'm back painting again today. I'm still not feeling up to painting some dead serious watercolours with my usual...
The Wood Of The Dead
It feels a while since my last painting but it's only been a week. My excuse is that I've been playing in a correspondence chess tournament. I...
Hills In Shire Colours
As I said in the last post, I felt like I could do a second quick painting today. Because I’d managed to paint an imaginary landscape quite...
Hills In Tundra Colours
The rain's finally stopped, so I'm back on the watercolours at last. I thought I'd let myself back in gently by painting an imaginary landscape...
Red House
Today's one of those weird days of the year. The day before my birthday. Who knows what sort of art gear or art books will appear tomorrow?...
Ancient Lights
Abstract landscapes don't drain me as much as serious paintings, so after the last one, I was ready for a repeat performance. After a little bit...
A Haunted Island
I'm taking a day off from serious watercolour painting today and going back to abstract landscapes. I'm going back to the palette knife technique...
All Along The Watchtower
Let's start off with the important news. I've been rejected by Landscape Artist Of The Year 2023, so won't be in a pod. But I'll be applying for...
The Call
It's been a bad day today and that means I must have been painting with watercolour. This bad run needs to come to an end soon. I thought I'd...
The Whisperers
With those two jobs out of the way, I was ready to kick off my painting for 2022. Be warned though, my first watercolour of the year is never...
