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...
Jupiter And Io
Seventeen days since my last watercolour and I'm finally back. The idea for this one popped into my head while out on my walk yesterday. I've no...
Craighouse, Jura
Spin The Wheel! Last night I relaxed in my recliner chair in front of the telly (but reading a book) with a Jura mal5 that had been stored in old...
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...
The Mukurob In Green Warm
After a huge gap of twenty seven days, I was back on the watercolours today. I was feeling a bit bereft of inspiration, so went for The Mukurob...
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 Old Forge In Watercolour
I'm back on the watercolours and couldn't resist having another go at The Old Forge in Ivernie. It was tempting have a go at this scene in tundra...
Torre Nubia
After that View From Ardtinish Castle, that dear old boy Howard has done it again and come up with another amazing holiday photo made up of simple...
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....
Look Over Yonder
I'm still on the watercolours today but not in the mood to work long and hard at a painting. Maybe it's because The Ashes are on; maybe it's...
Sky Above Hartlip Church
I'm back on to watercolours today and onto my proper palette rather than following any Schmincke supergranulator cheat codes, much as a love...
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...
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....
Bridge Over The River Risopatron
So after that brief dalliance with the Artgrafs this morning, I was back to the watercolours in the afternoon. For subject matter, I picked out...
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: The Collection
And here they are, all together. As I expected, their positives as a set are greater than the sum of their individual positives. They're up for...
Il Brutto
So here's part 3 of 3 and that's the collection complete. Tuco followed the same methodology as the previous two paintings so, what I did (and I'm...
