A month or so ago, someone from the village church was asking about the possibility of me painting something they could use for the church's...

Moon, Turn The Tides…Gently Gently Away
I'm currently reading How To Make A Watercolour Paint Itself by Nita Engle and thought I'd try out some of her ideas today with a stormy sea...
Hartlip Church In The Sun
It's the 29th of August already! The local church has another tea and cake afternoon on 12th September and I promised them I'd have another...
Castles Made Of Sand
This is my second attempt at a painting with a complementary colour scheme. The two colours are Winsor orange and French ultramarine. In Quiller...
Still Raining, Still Dreaming
Having learned my lessons, here's my second attempt of the day. There are only three colours in the whole painting. Payne's grey and light red...
Balanced Rock, Big Bend National Park, Texas
I was feeling a bit short of ideas so I googled for precarious rocks again and found this one in Texas. It looks a cracker with its interesting sky...
Kjeragbolten
Yesterday's paintings were bad. To help me find some form, I thought I'd look for some precarious rocks. I managed to find Kjeragbolten, which is...
Hartlip Church Tower
It's been twelve days since I last painted in watercolour. Just too many things going on at the moment, including the Euros. It's not that these...
Secret Door Into Hartlip Church
The Euros start today, so my paintings might slow right down over the next few weeks unless I can start getting out of bed earlier. There's only...
Glean a’Chroin
I felt inspired by one of the subpaintings in my last post (The Joy Of Six). It was the one in the bottom right. Winsor Orange and Indigo are like...
Footpath, Lower Hartlip Road
Back to the painting after a few days' break. This is another scene from the village. Follow that footpath up the hill over the field and you...
Cuckoo Orchard, Hartlip
Somebody in the village approached me the other day about painting his house. We had a good long chat and I think he gets what my artwork is...
Place Meadow, Hartlip
It's another Hartlip painting and, just like the last one, it features a house and is named after the house but the centre of interest in terms of...
View From Hartlip Church
And it's another Hartlip landscape! This is the seventh and last of the Hartlip landscapes that I put together value plans for a while ago. If I...
Craiglea And Sanquhar, Hartlip
It's freezing outside so I only have one painting to add to the Hartlip collection today. I picked this pair of cottages because they were white....
The Hoodoo Watch
The weather was good enough today to spend a bit of time painting properly in the garden. The subject matter is a set of hoodoos. These are weird...
I Am The Eye In The Sky
So, AA, when are we going to see what you're doing with that painting of an eye from the other day? And why is it exactly that you're needing to...
Three Days Of Snow
Back to painting again today and, for reasons that will become apparent, I wanted to get in some practice at snow paintings. So I looked through...
Sedona, Arizona
Yesterday's High Noon painting was a bit lacking in colour for one of my creations, so I thought I'd do something colourful today: a three colour...
Stockbury Church
Time for a new experience. To get some practice in (just in case I make it on to Landscape Artist Of The Year as a wildcard) I thought I'd better...
