So, after the flop that was The Wall Of Rochester Castle, I slumped off towards Rochester High Street for coffee at The Dead Cat (*recommended)...

The Wall Of Rochester Castle
I've had a day out at Rochester Castle today. I had plans to head out Eastwards but the M2 is apparently closed in that direction, so I took on...
The End Of The Footpath
I took the dog out for a walk this morning and found this prefect site for a painting. It’s at the end of a footpath from the Lower Hartlip Road....
The Smell Of Seaweed
I've been out and about for the first time this year. I drove over to the Riverside Country Park in Gillingham and stride up and down the causeway...
An Arrogant Intrusion
I was watching an interesting video by Liron Yanconsky on YouTube the other day in which he painted a church in monochrome without putting down a...
Force Of Life
So here's my second painting of the day. Again, this was all about having fun rather than creating a masterpiece. My idea on this one was to...
All Along The Watchtower
Let's start off with the important news. I've been rejected by Landscape Artist Of The Year 2023, so won't be in a pod. But I'll be applying for...
Christ’s College Hall From Second Court
The artwork's slowed down this week as I've not quite been tickety. But I was feeling well enough to do something quick today, so I went for a...
L Staircase, Christ’s College
For my first watercolour in 26 days (!) I'm back to Christ's College again. This is the entry to L staircase, a part of the college I'm very...
Stepping Into Second Court
So, after reading that Peter Cronin book. I was keen to put his ideas into practice. I picked this view from Christ's College, Cambridge because...
The Trinity Hall Wall
I've been rereading Webb On Watercolour and was reminded of the push-pull technique which I never got around to trying out, so I thought I'd give...
The Call
It's been a bad day today and that means I must have been painting with watercolour. This bad run needs to come to an end soon. I thought I'd...
Candace
I'm on the watercolours again today. In an attempt to find some form, I'm going for a colourful bit of figure drawing as that normally works out...
Once Upon A Time In The West Again
Time for a watercolour again and today was looking like a good day to be painting in the garden. After yesterday's success with a Western and the...
Round The Back Of Hartlip Church
I'm finally back onto the watercolours today. The weather looked good outside but the rain came along so I moved to the garage. It would have...
The Listener
My Dad's had a new kitchen fitted. When I dropped in to see him, I rescued a bunch of old kitchen shelves from a skip in the drive with the...
Ruby
I did say that Jean Haines had inspired me to go out and paint animals. And three days after the book was published, I've painted our cavalier...
The Whisperers
With those two jobs out of the way, I was ready to kick off my painting for 2022. Be warned though, my first watercolour of the year is never...
Number Two Twinned With Hartlip Church In The Snow
And here are those two paintings together.
Number Two
Remember Hartlip Church In The Snow from a month or so ago? I gave it to Barbara next door as an 80th birthday present. Well, her daughter pulled...
