Nuuk Cathedral
Day two of my three watercolour landscapes in three days challenge and today it's buildings day. I picked out a scene in Nuuk that had a church in...
Ally MacLeod
A grim day today with a power cut in the morning and then no WiFi when the power came back on so I'm grabbing a sneaky coffee in Costa while I...
Frank Bough
Of all the celebrities ever to have been disgraced after being caught in a tabloid sting, Frank Bough is the most likely to raise a smile and the...
Towards Leysdown-On-Sea
The weather forecast was for quite a mild day with no rain, so I packed up for another plein air trip. Today I felt like a trip to the seaside and...
The Avengers 1965-67
And here they are together, Steed and Mrs Peel. They go quite brilliantly together and are up for sale as a pair.
Mrs Emma Peel
It was always going to happen. Steed needed a partner. I decided to go for Mrs Peel, a character that was sure to make a great painting. After...
Major The Hon. John Wickham Gascoyne Beresford Steed
This one took me a couple of days but it was worth it. I picked out John Steed as played by the late Patrick MacNee in The Avengers and The New...
Inside New Court, Christ’s College

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...
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...
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...
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....
Abandoned Quarry Ruins, Carbilly Tor, Bodmin Moor
Right, enough messing about. I really should be doing more watercolour painting. I had an idea in my comfy chair last night at about midnight....
Il Cattivo
Number two in my The Good, The Bad And The Ugly collection is Angel Eyes, the bad one, played by Lee Van Cleef. In allocating supergranulating...
