Too distraught after a bad experience with the inktense pencils, I thought I'd have another go at Dobbie but with the markers. This has come out...

Dobbie On The Sofa
Last night, when I nipped over to the Rose & Crown to pick up a takeaway (I had the duck pizza since you ask), the landlady suggested she might...
The Hidden Gorilla
I've finished the experimental painting that I started on Thursday. I’ve added more watercolour. This again is mainly Prussian blue, Indian...
Bubble Horse Horse Bubble
It's a bank holiday, the sun's out and I'm back on the watercolours for the first time in months. I've been pining for orange over the last couple...
Bramble’s
Today's job was to prepare a couple of experimental crackle paste surfaces to use later in the week but I found myself pining to do some painting,...
Now What Are You Barking At?
And here's my latest Jane Betteridge inspired painting on an unusual surface. It's my first go using crackle paste. I bought an acrylic canvas...
Hondo
I thought it was about time I did another Western silhouette painting as they're always popular. Today's painting is based on a still from Hondo, a...
The Searchers Again
I'm back to silhouette scenes from famous Westerns. This time it's back to The Searchers. John Ford really knew how to compose a scene. The rider...

Stock LinkedIn Photo With Bike Replaced With Dog
8 July 2018 This one is based on a stock photo that somebody had used to head up an article on LinkedIn. The original picture had somebody riding...
Pathside Sheep
So we finally get on to watercolour. I've always been hopeless at drawing or painting, so I don't know why it was that I went on the watercolour...
Mad Cow Disease
And here's the final piece of jig-art, made from the leftovers from Virgin On The Ridiculous. Just like Career Woman, this is framed and on the...
Virgin On The Ridiculous
Flushed with success I did another piece of jig-art a few years later. Maybe 1997ish. This time I went for 1500-piece puzzles. One was The...
It’s A Jungle Out There!
First up and it's not a watercolour. I call it jig-art. I did this back in the early to mid 90s. It struck me one day that all jigsaws the same...
