And, By The Way, Which One Is Pink?
With there still being a bit of paint left on the Schmincke dot card, I thought I'd have another go at an abstract portrait rather than leave it...
Freebird!
This one's been coming for a while. It's a portrait of Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, two of the founder members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and I'm...
No Ma’am: We’re Musicians
Monday’s always a short day for me, so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to take a break from the posterised Newington landscapes and to...
Joe Walsh
Today's painting is a portrait of Joe Walsh of The Eagles, someone who in his heyday was probably even more fun at parties than Frank Bough....
Gregg Allman In Coloured Pencil
Time for something new. This has been brewing away in my mind for a couple of weeks and I finally decided to give it a go. It's my first ever...
Gary Moore
After managing to capture the face that Warren Haynes pulls when he hits a high note, I thought I'd thought I'd try a repeat performance by...
Tres Hombres
I wanted to have another go at painting ZZ Top after failing so badly a couple of days ago. This time, though, it would be in watercolour and...
Freddie Mercury
Right. That's enough of the Inktense pencils. I need to get back to watercolour portraits to impress any passing Portrait Of The Year Judges. I...
ZZ Top
Today's was a bit of flop. I wanted to have another go at a three layer Inktense pencil band portrait and decided to have a go at ZZ Top. I...
Rush
A new month and new boundaries to push, new ideas to explore. I've been having all this fun with the Artist Assist App but have only so far used...

I heard some of the late Amy Winehouse's music the other day. I'm guessing it must have been a question on either Only Connect or University...
Warren Haynes In Watercolour
The closing date for Portrait Artist Of The Year is on 5 February, ten days away. I've already submitted my entry but this is the time of her when...
Ronnie Wood
After John Lydon went so well the other day, I thought I'd have another go with the oil pastels. And because John came out looking old and battle...
John Lydon In Oil Pastel
It was a tough call over who to paint today. ChatGPT wasn't able to come up with any celebrities I'd ever heard of whose birthday it was today....
Albert King
Today's painting is a long overdue subject and a less overdue experiment. The subject is guitarist Albert King. I've been making my way through...
Fire
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...
Ron “Pigpen” McKernan
My year end painting hiatus is over and I’m back in the studio. After thing breaks I tend to work my way back in slowly with low pressure works...
Chris Robinson
This is Chris Robinson, vocalist and occasional harmonica or guitar player in The Chris Robinson Brotherhood and The Black Crowes and master of dad...
Roy Wood
With one page left in my rough watercolourpaper block and that page starting to come away at the edges, I wanted to do another watercolour today...
