And He Ploughed Up The Ground By The Cold Lake Shore
I’ve been busy with other stuff for a couple of days but I'm back today with a soft pastel landscape. After googling around for scenes on Bodmin...
And My Radio Says Tonight It’s Gonna Freeze
After yesterday's triple landscape using the M Graham watercolours, I was always planning in following up with a full sized l landscape using the...

I’m taking a break from portraits for a while (which could be anything between a week and a couple of months) to concentrate on landscapes. And...
May Day Eve
Wednesday is Landscape Artist Of The Year day and I believe tonight's episode is at Stonehenge. So at some point tomorrow, I expect the Artist Of...
The Singular Death Of Morton
Still too many things going on at the moment for me to have much time to paint but I did have the time today to give the Inktense pencils a...

I've not done much painting this year. It's partly due to having too many other distractions and partly due to the days still feeling too short....

Untitled Basic Track
The nights are fair drawin' in and the days are getting colder. I thought it was cold enough today to dig out the oil pastels again. I've not used...
Long Hot Summer Night
This is another painting that's been brewing for a while. If I don't look at the clouds and see naked women, what else is there to see? Well,...
Could It Be Magic?
Today I quite fancied putting dry pigment down on the paper and wetting it. I'd already picked out a photo of Barry Manilow that might look good...
And The Dirty Old Track Was The Lower Hartlip Road
After reading the Sandra Orme book, I'm straight in with a sky painting. What with me having a set of "cloudy sky" colours with no reds and my...
The Touch Of Pan
Something a bit different today. This frying pan was going to be thrown out and replaced so I thought I'd grab it and paint it. if I was doing...
And, By The Way, Which One Is Pink?
With there still being a bit of paint left on the Schmincke dot card, I thought I'd have another go at an abstract portrait rather than leave it...
Freebird!
This one's been coming for a while. It's a portrait of Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, two of the founder members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and I'm...
Camp Of The Dog
