I know I said I might not end up completing the Corbomite Manouver Collection but after putting Kirk and Scotty alongside each other I could see...

Venus And The Petrova Line
I'm back on the planets again and today it's Venus. It took me a long time to come up with an idea about how to make a painting of Venus a bit...
Mick Fleetwood
You know what? I did end up finding a photo of Mick Fleetwood that would make a great portrait. It was a pretty monochrome photo and was close to...
Captain James Tiberius Kirk
Today I had a go at the second in The Corbomite Manouver collection. Today it's Captain Kirk, painted using the Shire supergranulators, befitting...
The Sandstone Kagoule
I really shouldn’t be painting on Mondays. Monday is housework day and after I've had breakfast, done the housework, finished my daily four mile...
Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott
Sometimes great ideas come into my head on my daily walks. Today was one of those days. Earlier this year I put together The Good The Bad and the...
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...
Sir Bobby Charlton
Sorry everybody. I screwed up today. Rather than doing a fourth portrait in a row I should have switched back to painting planets. I need to...
John Lydon
I wasn’t planning on doing a watercolour today but I found a photo of John Lydon that was just begging to be painted in Liz Chaderton style. In...
Mercury
Today's planet is Mercury, sharing its name with the messenger of the Roman gods and therefore deserving of a pair or wings. For the three colours...
The Face Of Mars
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...
