This one was inspired from a Facebook post that I saw only four hours ago of a sunset in Springfield, Virginia. It looks nothing like the original...

Whoa!
So, after the last painting was a quinacridone magenta free zone, I had to follow it up quickly with another painting. Something experimental,...
Grand Teton National Park
I thought I should go back to basics and paint a normal looking landscape as these were popular on Facebook last year. This one is based on a view...
Comfortably Numb
A fourth consecutive painting named after a song title. There's a clip on YouTube of David Gilmour playing a clip of Purple Rain in the middle of...
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...
Elephant
I've been thinking for a while about painting an elephant Hazel Soan style and finally got around to it today. The elephant itself was first...
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...
The Old Man Of Storr
It's a double painting day today. This time I've gone for a conventional landscape for the first time in a while. It's the Old Man of Storr on the...
White, Six-Petalled Flower From Northern Thailand
This is my second attempt at a bit of free and loose Jean Haines style flower painting. It's of a white, six-petalled flower from Northern...
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...
Freebird Nebula
I'm waiting patiently for three different yellows to be delivered (raw sienna plus two two new ones - watch this space) so thought I'd have a go at...
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...
Valdeinfierno
I got the idea for this one from a photo I saw on Facebook of three people hiking through Valdeinfierno. A bit of googling reveals it to be...
I was feeling up for a challenge today, so I decided I'd do a painting that was a set of twelve random vignettes and that I'd ask friends on...
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...
Flowers In Alexandria
My first attempt at an impressionistic flower after reading that Jean Haines book and I think it’s a decent start. I could still be looser - the...
