And here's today's second painting. This one really is a Western. For once it's an action scene rather than a pose. I'm going to claim that I've...

Tombstone
After the roaring success of Once Upon A Time In The West, I thought I'd have a go at another Western. This time it's Tombstone, the best of the...
Once Upon A Time In The West
After the rubbish that I put out yesterday, I was determined to paint an ink-free watercolour again as soon as possible but to do it properly,...
Waterfall Green
It's been cold outside for the last week or so and I'm going through a phase where I'm too messy to be able to work indoors so there's been a bit...
Winter Roots
And for my second painting today, I thought I'd just throw everything on the paper and see what came out. Here's what I ended up with. I...
Whoa!
So, after the last painting was a quinacridone magenta free zone, I had to follow it up quickly with another painting. Something experimental,...
Horsehead Quarry
I thought I'd try something different. After checking out some Jean Lurssen videos on YouTube I thought I'd invest in some acrylic inks and have a...
Sunshine Through The Brambles
I got the idea for this one yesterday afternoon, staring out of the lounge window as Bradley Walsh was asking "What has the chaser put?" Not that...
Colourful Sky

The Magic Purple Tree Only Appears At Sunset
8 July 2018 This one was created on the same day as the Stock LinkedIn Photo With Bike Replaced With Dog. This time I definitely remember doing...
Random Nebula
2 July 2018 Oh, this was a really good one. It started out based on one particular nebula (I can't remember which one - sorry) but ended up...
Schilthorn
21 May 2018 After the success with mountains a couple of days before (Susten Pass) I thought I had to have another go at a mountain scene from that...
Pathside Sheep
So we finally get on to watercolour. I've always been hopeless at drawing or painting, so I don't know why it was that I went on the watercolour...
Virgin On The Ridiculous
Flushed with success I did another piece of jig-art a few years later. Maybe 1997ish. This time I went for 1500-piece puzzles. One was The...
It’s A Jungle Out There!
First up and it's not a watercolour. I call it jig-art. I did this back in the early to mid 90s. It struck me one day that all jigsaws the same...
