Today it's a portrait of Jimi Hendrix. You can tell that I've used the Artist Assist App again just by looking at this one. I was planning to do...
Paintings Named After
Ross Kemp: Go With Your Gut
Since Pigpen went so well, I’ve been wondering whether I could fit a triple triple glazed portrait into the four hours that artists are allowed in...
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...
Heeeere’s Jonny
I’ve had an idea for another set of marker portraits to get started on but had just one page left in a sketchbook and didn't want the set to...
Egyptian Sorcery
Just a quick one today. I had that one crackle pasted board still waiting to be used and wanted to cross it off my list so here goes. I started...
Ancient Sorceries
I fancied giving the oil pastels another go today. It feels like too long since I came up with a decent oil pastel painting. I looked through my...
I Can Read Your Mind
So I had the first chance in a while to do some undisturbed painting in the studio. Well I say that but in reality I only started at 2pm and had...
A Bit Of Wood
So what have you painted today? A tree. What have you called it? A Bit Of Wood - it's the name of an Alg…. Is it an interesting composition?...
A Victim Of Higher Space
I enjoyed painting the foreground in that last painting so much that I decided to go straight into another painting afterwards. So I reached for...
Looking At You
So here it is. I've finally gotten around to using the second of the shelves I helped myself to when the in laws threw out that old fridge. The...
Somewhere

The South Wind
Yesterday was a day off but I'm back painting again today. I'm still not feeling up to painting some dead serious watercolours with my usual...
‘Andles For Forks
And here's today's second painting. It's Candle as the model again and this is her fourth appearance. This time it's my second attempt at using...
The Wood Of The Dead
It feels a while since my last painting but it's only been a week. My excuse is that I've been playing in a correspondence chess tournament. I...
Red House
Today's one of those weird days of the year. The day before my birthday. Who knows what sort of art gear or art books will appear tomorrow?...
Ancient Lights
Abstract landscapes don't drain me as much as serious paintings, so after the last one, I was ready for a repeat performance. After a little bit...
A Haunted Island
I'm taking a day off from serious watercolour painting today and going back to abstract landscapes. I'm going back to the palette knife technique...
Third Stone From The Sun
It was too hot yesterday to be outside painting. So I spent the day indoors watching YouTube videos of people swatching the colours from the super...
An Arrogant Intrusion
I was watching an interesting video by Liron Yanconsky on YouTube the other day in which he painted a church in monochrome without putting down a...
All Along The Watchtower
Let's start off with the important news. I've been rejected by Landscape Artist Of The Year 2023, so won't be in a pod. But I'll be applying for...
