It's getting dark earlier but it was still light enough for me to have the energy for a second portrait today. I do need to start getting up and...

Murphy Dunne
The next one on this set of ten market portraits is Murphy Dunne. Because I need someone on keyboards. The likeness isn't perfect but he looks...
Steve “The Colonel” Cropper
I saw something on the telly late at night last week. And then it was on again the following night so I watched it again. I sat there frustrated...
Complements Of The Seasons
And here's the complete collection. I started by thinking about colour schemes. I've painted collections of monotone paintings with a single...
Henry Winter + Johnny Winter = Pi/2
And here's the final one in the collection. We have sports journalist Henry Winter and the late Johnny Winter. I've already done portraits using...
Autumn Reeser In Red And Green
Next up is Autumn Reeser. She's an American actress but I have to be honest here and admit to never having heard of her before now. According to...
Donna Summer In Blue And Orange
Next up in this collection is (maybe not a surprise to some) Donna Summer. I've painted her in blue and orange. Once again I've kind of got a...
The One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Collection
And here's the full collection. Wow! This is exactly what I wanted and more. The monotone paintings all look incomplete and yet when put...
Charlie Cheswick
And finally we have Charlie Cheswick, played by Sydney Lassick. This was the portrait I've been most looking forward to doing. Seeing this photo...
Dale Harding
Nearly there now. Number seven in the collection is Dale Harding, played by William Redfield. A decent enough likeness but quite a boring...
Bruce Frederickson
Next in the queue for meds at Nurse Ratched's booth is Bruce Frederickson, played by Vincent Schiavelli. He doesn't say or do much in the film but...
Chief Bromden
I don't normally do this but I've done a third marker painting in a day. This is The Chief, played by Will Sampson. He seemed the character most...
Martini
Fourth up is Martini (I can't find his first name) played by Danny DeVito. This film is just packed with names. I've done Martini in purple just...
Billy Bibbit
Number three in the collection is Billy Bibbit, played by Brad Dourif. I've used the green marker here, reflecting Billy's innocence. Likeness...
Max Taber
Next up is Max Taber, played by Christopher Lloyd. Probably the scariest of all the patients in the film, like an unexploded bomb. It was a no...
Randle McMurphy
Another big collection of marker portraits on the way. This time it's eight patients from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, one of the greatest...
The Persuaders! Collection
And here they are together, The Persuaders! Lord Brett Sinclair works better as one of a pair than he did on his own. What I find fascinating...
Lord Brett Sinclair
And here's my second marker portrait of the day, Lord Brett Sinclair played by Sir Roger Moore. Just like Danny Wilde, he's in monotone greys but...
Danny Wilde
I didn't know what I wanted to do today so asked my iPad for ideas. It suggested that I do a portrait using markers. If I do a portrait with the...
Paul With Markers
I've been out most of the day but came back to see some Facebook banter from old Christ's boy Paul wondering whether he could get me to send him...
