6 June 2018 Some more lightning, this time over Henley-On-Thames. You can probably tell that this painting's been cropped. There was a car and...

Icebergs Off Newfoundland
6 June 2018 There's a village somewhere in Newfoundland that enjoys the sight every year of all these huge icebergs floating slowly past. It...
Lightning Over West Wellow
27 May 2018 There were some cracking thunderstorms in late May and I thought I'd have a go at painting one. I dug around on the BBC News website...
Trees Against A Green Sky
25 May 2018 I thought I'd try painting from real life. Well, I say real life. These trees are based on a couple of trees just over the fence in my...
Unforgiven
23 May 2018 This is based on an establishing shot in Unforgiven, a Clint Eastwood Western from 1992. I've got a lot of Westerns in my DVD...
Schilthorn
21 May 2018 After the success with mountains a couple of days before (Susten Pass) I thought I had to have another go at a mountain scene from that...
Susten Pass
17 May 2018 We've arrived at last at the Summer of 2018, when something clicked and I started churning out some pieces that I could be genuinely...
Icelandic Mountains
25 October 2014 This was based on a photo I'd seen of some mountains in Iceland. If you compared the painting to the photo, though, you'd not be...
Random Sunset On Cheap Paper
24 August 2014 I'm confused by this one. Did I really come up with this on the same day as the Ugly Bay? Because I don’t remember doing two on...
An Ugly Bay
24 August 2014 I don’t think this one has any redeeming features. The hill at the back covered in trees is just embarrassing.
Tower Bridge
29 May 2014 Now this us more like it. It's based on a photo that a friend put up on Facebook of Tower Bridge in the fog on a very purple-looking...
Ugliest One Yet
8 February 2014 I think this was based on a photo I saw in the Metro. Someone on Facebook asked whether that was a tiger in the trees. Says it...
A Moody Sky
19 January 2014 Could there be hope? This is the best painting for a long time, possibly second only to the Pathside Sheep. The sky, the pink...
An Ugly Tree
4 January 2014 I like the colour of the hill in the background. I was very pleased with that. The rest of it is awful.
Some Rocks
30 October 2013 Here are some rocks. The painting is based on a photo of a rocky outcrop in a canyon somewhere in America. It was another chance...
An Ugly Mountain
29 October 2013 We’re now in the Facebook era and everything I paint is going up there. This means I get to show off all the clunkers on this...
Two Random Landscapes
I wasn’t very good at painting and not that committed to improving. I would have a quick burst of painting, then do nothing for three or four...
Pathside Sheep
So we finally get on to watercolour. I've always been hopeless at drawing or painting, so I don't know why it was that I went on the watercolour...
