And here they are, all together. Spock, Kirk and Scotty. None of them brilliant individual paintings but as a set of three I think they look...

First Officer Spock
I know I said I might not end up completing the Corbomite Manouver Collection but after putting Kirk and Scotty alongside each other I could see...
Venus And The Petrova Line
I'm back on the planets again and today it's Venus. It took me a long time to come up with an idea about how to make a painting of Venus a bit...
Mick Fleetwood
You know what? I did end up finding a photo of Mick Fleetwood that would make a great portrait. It was a pretty monochrome photo and was close to...
Krys
Still not feeling the watercolours so today's an Artgraf day. It's also a day of experimentation because I've bought a hot pressed watercolour...
Fame
I was feeling watercoloured out today and in the mood for a different medium, so went for the oil pastels. I wanted to draw a portrait and was...
Captain James Tiberius Kirk
Today I had a go at the second in The Corbomite Manouver collection. Today it's Captain Kirk, painted using the Shire supergranulators, befitting...
Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott
Sometimes great ideas come into my head on my daily walks. Today was one of those days. Earlier this year I put together The Good The Bad and the...
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...
Thea 5
Today's been quite a short day but, with England playing cricket tomorrow, I didn't want to take what would be two days off, so I went for a quick...
Sir Bobby Charlton
Sorry everybody. I screwed up today. Rather than doing a fourth portrait in a row I should have switched back to painting planets. I need to...
John Lydon
I wasn’t planning on doing a watercolour today but I found a photo of John Lydon that was just begging to be painted in Liz Chaderton style. In...
B. B. King
Today's not a day for watercolours. I tend to do watercolours in bursts of 2-4 successive days and with yesterday being a charcoal day and...
Donald Trump
I took a break from the planets today. A charcoal painting is long overdue and I thought I'd have a go at a charcoal portrait for the first time....
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...
Susan
Monday's housework day and BBC2 quiz night so tends not to be a proper painting day. But after a couple of days off I thought I'd better have a go...
Neptune
This is the second in my series of paintings of the planets and today it's Neptune. There was a question on University Challenge the other week...
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...
Eric Clapton, 1970
I've had loads of chores to do Sunday and Monday, leaving only a couple sessions available for painting. So I went for a coloured pencil portrait...
