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...

Ilad Rodavlas
And here's the companion piece to Salvador Dali, painted in parallel. It follows pretty well the same method, the only three differences being...
Salvador Dali
So here's what I did with that Schmincke dot card. I quite fancied doing a portrait, so looked around for a simple portrait of a colourful...
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...
Mighty Mouse
Yesterday's painting was bad, very bad. I just had to come back and have another go at Kevin Keegan, acting on some of the lessons I'd learned...
Kevin Keegan
Back for another go with the crystalline watercolour and today it's my first go at using them for a portrait. Today's subject is the legend that...
Rupert Thomson
Back to painting today and I've had my first go at a portrait using the soft pastels. Today's subject was the author Rupert Thomson. I started...
Paul Auster
I started this one last night and finished it this morning. It's unusual for me to spread something over two days. It's because I started late...
Series Of Posterised Paintings Of Newington
So, yeah, the local vicar asked me a few weeks go whether I'd be interesting in setting up a stand at the Newington garden party on 24 August,...
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...
John Henry Holliday

The One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Collection
And here's the full collection. Wow! This is exactly what I wanted and more. The monotone paintings all look incomplete and yet when put...
Charlie Cheswick
And finally we have Charlie Cheswick, played by Sydney Lassick. This was the portrait I've been most looking forward to doing. Seeing this photo...
Dale Harding
Nearly there now. Number seven in the collection is Dale Harding, played by William Redfield. A decent enough likeness but quite a boring...
Bruce Frederickson
Next in the queue for meds at Nurse Ratched's booth is Bruce Frederickson, played by Vincent Schiavelli. He doesn't say or do much in the film but...
Chief Bromden
I don't normally do this but I've done a third marker painting in a day. This is The Chief, played by Will Sampson. He seemed the character most...
Martini
Fourth up is Martini (I can't find his first name) played by Danny DeVito. This film is just packed with names. I've done Martini in purple just...
Billy Bibbit
Number three in the collection is Billy Bibbit, played by Brad Dourif. I've used the green marker here, reflecting Billy's innocence. Likeness...
