Got to keep those plates spinning. Today I was painting with the inktense pencils. This is a new model for me, Mika M. For colours, I started...
My Left Foot
After painting The Graduate, I wanted to keep experimenting with the oil pastels. I've still not really worked out what I'll normally be painting...
The Graduate
It's been eleven days since my last piece of work but with the sun out and some chores out of the way, the gazebo's back up in the garden and I'm...
Logical Right Eye

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...
JenB, Sitting

Wow! Casey Affleck just shared one of my works on Instagram and he already has over 1500 likes. If you're here after seeing me on Casey's...
Sam Allardyce
I'm still in too much of a rush today. After that Gareth Southgate disaster, I thought I'd move on to Big Sam. At least I know from drawing him...
Gareth Southgate
So the Euros have started and I'll be watching all three games today. That's two good reasons for doing this inknse portrait of Gareth Southgate -...

OK, so I was in an Allman Betts Band mood today. After painting Devon Allman, I thought I should really also paint Duane Betts. But the best...
