Harcourt Fenton Mudd
Today's portrait subject is Harry Mudd, an interstellar conman, okayed by Roger C. Carmel in two episodes of Star Trek TOS. I went for the trippy...

Another posterised portrait. This is Adam West and Burt Ward playing Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson in the 1960s Batman TV series. I deliberately...
From All Of These Signs Saying “Sorry But We’re Closed”
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly was on the telly the other day. It's one long gallery of painting ideas but the shot that sprang out at me this time...
Peter Wyngarde
Time for another posterised watercolour portrait in an attempt to impress the PAOTY judges. This is the late actor Peter Wyngarde who specialised...
NadiaR
I thought I'd just chill out today with an inktense figure painting rather than focusing on impressing Artist Of The Year judges. Today's subject...
(Buckingham Nicks Era) Fleetwood Mac
Of course one good reason for painting John McVie is that I now have completed Buckingham-Nicks era Fleetwood Mac lineup. I'm still a Danny Kirwan...

That's one more pre-Christmas job out of the way. I've put in my entry for Portrait Artist Of The Year. I've gone for watercolours again. The...
Muhammad Ali
This one has taken me a couple of days. It's a coloured pencil portrait of Muhammad Ali. I'm not a great boxing fan, to be honest, but Ali was...
Tom Read Wilson
After a break of 27 days I was back to watercolour today. I thought I'd have a go at Tom Read Wilson, runner up in I'm A Celebrity 2025 and the...
Dave Barnes
Because (i) I was feeling a bit tired after yesterday's efforts, and (ii) I came back from my morning walk without a painting and plan in mind, it...
Luana In Inktense Pencil
The dog's pretty well back to normal now after two bouts of illness, so I've been able to get back out to the studio. As is normal after a longish...
George Orwell
The painting's slowed down this week as our dog's had a big health scare and isn't yet back to normal. So I’ve been keeping her company a lot of...
Steve Clarke
