After managing to capture the face that Warren Haynes pulls when he hits a high note, I thought I'd thought I'd try a repeat performance by...
Supergranulators
Tres Hombres
I wanted to have another go at painting ZZ Top after failing so badly a couple of days ago. This time, though, it would be in watercolour and...
Albert King
Today's painting is a long overdue subject and a less overdue experiment. The subject is guitarist Albert King. I've been making my way through...
Saturn
I really do need to finish my collection of planet paintings at some point so I'm back on the case today with Saturn. For a while my plan had been...
Annual Self Portrait 2024
So at last I've finally done a self portrait in watercolour. I was in the mood for supergranulators today and picked out the tundra set. I...
Lula’s Spot
I've done another painting of Queendown Warren today. This isa bench that I walk past pretty well every day. If it's been raining a lot, I go for...
The Corbomite Manouver Collection
And here they are, all together. Spock, Kirk and Scotty. None of them brilliant individual paintings but as a set of three I think they look...
First Officer Spock
I know I said I might not end up completing the Corbomite Manouver Collection but after putting Kirk and Scotty alongside each other I could see...
Captain James Tiberius Kirk
Today I had a go at the second in The Corbomite Manouver collection. Today it's Captain Kirk, painted using the Shire supergranulators, befitting...
Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott
Sometimes great ideas come into my head on my daily walks. Today was one of those days. Earlier this year I put together The Good The Bad and the...
Uranus
After a bit of a break, I'm back on the planets again. Today it's Uranus. All eight planets revolve around the sun in roughly the same plane and...
The Face Of Mars
Another day, another planet. My latest idea for planet paintings (to go with the ideas of random surrealness and Roman gods) is to think about...
Neptune
This is the second in my series of paintings of the planets and today it's Neptune. There was a question on University Challenge the other week...
Dalwhinnie Distillery
It's the weekend and the builders are off for the weekend so I'm back in the studio for a couple of days. What to paint though? Well, I can't...
Free Horse Manure
I took my phone out with me today on my daily four mile walk through Queendown Warren, hoping to find some good subject matter after feeling a jot...
Disapproval From Mount Rushmore
Another watercolour today. I wanted to have another go with the desert supergranulators supplemented with cool blues after they worked out so well...
Inverie In Tundra Colours
I didn't stay away long. I'm back to paint Inverie again, this time using the tundra supergranulators. I've chosen a different viewpoint and was...
The Mukurob (Finger Of God)
So after finishing Hazel Soan's African Watercolours I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and paint something influenced by the book. For...
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....
A Hot Day In Nuuk
It was part 2 of the challenge today. After painting a rocky scene with the tundra supergranulators yesterday, I wanted to paint an Arctic scene...
