High Noon
With not many ideas about what to paint and not wanting to keep doing abstract after abstract, I thought I'd have a go at another famous Western....
The Tree Of Life
My second painting of the day was a lot more successful. The underpainting was again in ultramarine blue, raw sienna and burnt sienna. With two...
One For The Bin
All my artwork, good or bad, goes up on this website. That's why I'm showing you this abomination. I saw a Jean Lurssen video this morning in...
Winter Is Coming
I thought I'd have another go at turning an abstract underpainting into something recognisable. This time, though, I made three changes. The...
Skyfall
After a bit of a break from them, I picked up the paints again yesterday. I couldn't decide what to paint is thought I'd start with some random...
The Frankenstein-Dracula Variation
After reading Painting By Design by Charles Reid, I felt ready to attempt my first watercolour portrait. It started off as the world chess...
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives

Archway Into St Michael’s & All Saints Church, Hartlip
Another bit of plein air painting and this time it's my local church in Hartlip. Just like last time, it's in the key of purple cool, made up of...
Stockbury Church
Time for a new experience. To get some practice in (just in case I make it on to Landscape Artist Of The Year as a wildcard) I thought I'd better...
And I’m Thumper!
Today's subject is Thumper from Diamonds Are Forever, played by actress Trina Parks. In this shot, Trina adopts what must be one of the greatest...
Christ’s College, Cambridge
I've still not given up hope of being invited into Sky Landscape Artist Of The Year as a wildcard, so with that competition likely to be focused on...
Lancashire Sunset
Today's painting was inspired by a photo by a guy called Brandon Lee Keefe of a sunset from St Peter's Church in Hersham. I say inspired rather...
(Two Of) The Hateful Eight
I thought it was about time I went back to my most popular series of paintings, the abstractified Westerns. Today, I found a still from The...
The Glamour Of The Snow
I thought a bit of watercolour painting was overdue, so I've been out there this morning running off this little number. The thunder started as I...
The Hidden Gorilla
I've finished the experimental painting that I started on Thursday. I’ve added more watercolour. This again is mainly Prussian blue, Indian...
461 Ocean Boulevard
Back out in the garden painting today and this is what I came up with. It's 461 Ocean Boulevard, the house that Eric Clapton lived in while...
