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,...
Complements Of The Seasons

Henry Winter + Johnny Winter = Pi/2
And here's the final one in the collection. We have sports journalist Henry Winter and the late Johnny Winter. I've already done portraits using...
The Tryst
I had another go at a sky painting in soft pastels today but I'm already veering off the beaten path by going for a cloud formation that looks like...

Because The Night
I was in an experimental mood today. I wanted to try out more of my new Inktense pencil colours, the saddle brown and sepia ink not having been...
Lewes Castle
