For my second stripy gesso experiment, I thought I'd better try it out with inks. The gesso stripes this time are slanted, top right to bottom...

Path To The Lake
I was in an experimental mood today. I dug out the gesso and thought I'd have a go at applying it to the paper in stripes rather than all over....
Waterfall Green
It's been cold outside for the last week or so and I'm going through a phase where I'm too messy to be able to work indoors so there's been a bit...
Winter Roots
And for my second painting today, I thought I'd just throw everything on the paper and see what came out. Here's what I ended up with. I...
Whoa!
So, after the last painting was a quinacridone magenta free zone, I had to follow it up quickly with another painting. Something experimental,...
Purple Rain
Today's effort is Purple Rain. I was thinking of doing some sort of blizzard scene as I was in the mood to do a moody sky and to flick paint all...
Twist In My Sobriety
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...
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...
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...
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
30 July 2018 This was based on a picture on a birthday card. It was a good choice of subject material. But, as you can see, the execution was...
Down T’Mill
16 July 2018 After Stock LinkedIn Photo With Bike Replaced With Dog got such a great reception on Facebook I thought I'd have another go at...
The Magic Purple Tree Only Appears At Sunset
8 July 2018 This one was created on the same day as the Stock LinkedIn Photo With Bike Replaced With Dog. This time I definitely remember doing...
Stock LinkedIn Photo With Bike Replaced With Dog
8 July 2018 This one is based on a stock photo that somebody had used to head up an article on LinkedIn. The original picture had somebody riding...
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...
Random Sunset On Cheap Paper
24 August 2014 I'm confused by this one. Did I really come up with this on the same day as the Ugly Bay? Because I don’t remember doing two on...
An Ugly Bay
24 August 2014 I don’t think this one has any redeeming features. The hill at the back covered in trees is just embarrassing.
