And here's the final dash and splash of the day. I didn't have to dash very far after drawing it as it's a view from my back garden, albeit with...

Old Nuuk
Here we go then. Back on the watercolours and it's a gentle return because I'm reaching for the tundra supergranulators and doing another painting...
Nuuk Art Museum
It was always going to be another supergranulating day today. But tundra or shire? I went for tundra. The shire set is one that I might be able...
Denali National Park 2
Still making my way through my pile of new art supplies and today it's a first outing for my Schmincke supergranulating tundra watercolours. They...
Hartlip Church Porch
Next I moved position to get a view of the porch at the front of the church. I went against the advice of Alex Hillkurtz and picked a viewing...
Hartlip Church Tower 2
Tempting as it is to binge read my pile of new art instruction books, I do really need to test out some of my new art gear. First up are the...
Another Corner Of Stonehenge
It's June 21, the Summer Solstice, so I'm back to Stonehenge again. In a lot of ways, this followed a similar process to my previous painting, but...
Murray Edwards College, Cambridge
After all that fun with whitewashed buildings in my last painting, I wanted to have another go at something similar. After googling for white...
The Red Lion, Weston
It was looking too hot outside today to venture out painting, so I looked through my files for something I could paint in a shady spot in the...
Thurnham Castle
Today I've been on a day trip to paint Thurnham Castle. It's a little bit to the North of Maidstone and is just a pair of hills, one of which has...
Rochester Castle

Christ’s College Hall From Second Court
The artwork's slowed down this week as I've not quite been tickety. But I was feeling well enough to do something quick today, so I went for a...
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
After such a miserable effort yesterday, I had to go back to the oil pastels today. With the watercolours it's still touch and go whether I can...
Two Trees, Hartlip House
After a flop with the watercolours, I'm back to the oil pastels again, where everything always seems to go well and I can regain some confidence. ...
Animal Biscuit Valley, New Zealand
I'm still on the oil pastels but it's a landscape in New Zealand today. Well kind of. I've been a bit smart today and left out some rocks that...
Torres Del Paine National Park
Enough with the naked women, I'm back onto landscapes. This is three artworks in successive days, which is pretty unusual for me. The subject...
Number Two Twinned With Hartlip Church In The Snow
And here are those two paintings together.
Number Two
Remember Hartlip Church In The Snow from a month or so ago? I gave it to Barbara next door as an 80th birthday present. Well, her daughter pulled...
Frank’s Wood, Leith Hill, Surrey
It's getting cold and wet outside so the number of watercolour and oil paintings that I'll be doing the rest of this year is numbered. Today I...
Sastrugi
There's a long story behind this one. I didn't have much time to paint today but thought I'd been away from the brushes for too long so that I'd...
