Well, I can tell you that I will definitely be entering for Portrait Artist Of The Year again this time around. Because, even if I don't have any...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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
Well this is something new. I'm writing up a painting before I've taken a photo because it's being left to dry overnight and seems to still be...
Zaza II
So, as promised yesterday, I had another go at painting Zaza using the Artgraf colours. I've used exactly the same pose but have made a change to...
Zaza
I'm back on the Artgraf paints today for a number of reasons. It's pouring with rain outside for a start. And I'm a little bit distracted by the...
Adrina In Watercolour
My plan today was to play things fast and loose by putting down a random colourful underpainting and then to convert it to something else with some...
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...
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
My second episode as a wildcard at Landscape Artist Of The Year was screened in February 2023 but here's what I had to say after filming in June...
Force Of Life
So here's my second painting of the day. Again, this was all about having fun rather than creating a masterpiece. My idea on this one was to...
Once Upon A Time In The West Again
Time for a watercolour again and today was looking like a good day to be painting in the garden. After yesterday's success with a Western and the...
The Listener
My Dad's had a new kitchen fitted. When I dropped in to see him, I rescued a bunch of old kitchen shelves from a skip in the drive with the...
A Desert Episode
In that last painting, Six Ways To Look At The Moon, I was so pleased with how the bottom left subpainting turned out that I thought I'd have a go...
Six Ways To Look At The Moon
I'm a bit short of ideas for watercolours at the moment. Maybe I need to wander around the village again but only if I'm prepared to put in some...
The Insanity Of Jones
I'd got the last page of my watercolour block so thought I'd go all out on applying some texture to the painting surface without having to worry...
