The Lightning Tree, Queendown Warren
I’m on a coloured pencil landscape roll and, as promised yesterday, I'm having another go at combining coloured pencils with fineliners. This...
Queendown Warren: Rain On The Way
Sometimes my choice of what to paint is based on some really weird reasons. Today I looked the box of CDs I have in the studio and thought it...
John Henry Holliday
Yeah, June is taking a while to get started and I've gone for another easy option. It's a posterised portrait and, not only that, I've pretty well...
The Transfer
Today's painting is based on a photo taken by an old friend Olly while (I believe) on holiday in Portugal. He did it had an Edward Hopper feel to...
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...
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...
Max Taber
Next up is Max Taber, played by Christopher Lloyd. Probably the scariest of all the patients in the film, like an unexploded bomb. It was a no...
Doctor Zachary Smith
Sometimes I receive messages and I just have to act on them. I had the telly to myself last night and managed to find a 1960 episode of The...

I felt like doing a portrait today. I've been doing a lot of landscapes in an attempt to impress LAITY judges (newsflash: I've not made it to a...
AnaIv In Artgraf
I only had the energy for a quick painting today, so went for an idea that's been kicking around for a few days. A line drawing using fineliners...
Damn You All To Hell!
Now this is a landscape that's been on my to do list for a while. It's the closing scene from the original Planet Of The Apes film back in...
CasD
After needing to take two attempts at painting the Earp brothers, I felt like I'd wasted a day of my life, so after finishing the corrected...
The Earps
After discovering Friday's disaster I wanted to come up with a proper painting of The Earps as quickly as possible. This was finished ar about...
Towards Warren Cottage
I’ve caught up on my sleep now and can finally complete my three watercolours in three days challenge, two days late. The challenge for the third...
Ally MacLeod
A grim day today with a power cut in the morning and then no WiFi when the power came back on so I'm grabbing a sneaky coffee in Costa while I...
The City
After yesterday's experimentation I wanted to use all the lessons from it as quickly as possible, so that's what I've been doing today. I started...
Lewes Castle
Here's a question for you. Who had a UK number one in the 1979s with D.I.V.O.R.C.E.? Good guess but you're wrong. It was Billy Connolly with a...
Purdey
I wanted to give some of my new inktense pencils a runout, so that's what I'm going today. And with three of those new colours being fleshy...
