And here's the collection. This is the format in which I want to get them all framed. and that may mean getting a specialist framer to at least...
Personal Favourites
Fabiano Caruana
And here it is, the last one in the collection. It's world number two Fabiano Caruana. I thought I'd go for a bright green background as that...
DNA
And here's the second of the day. This is all out abstract. I cracklepasted a board a couple of days ago (with watercolour ground applied to the...
Stormy Abstract
And here's my second effort of the day. Another with a specially prepared crackle paste surface. This time, the special guest in the surface was...
Now What Are You Barking At?
And here's my latest Jane Betteridge inspired painting on an unusual surface. It's my first go using crackle paste. I bought an acrylic canvas...
Mount Rushmore
Now this is more like it! A painting on an experimental surface that worked. The faces were all torn out of the Mail On Sunday dated 11 August...
Last Days Of Summer
Another quite traditional looking painting today. I was watching a YouTube video this morning where Gordon MacKenzie was showing how to paint...
Broken
It's been brewing for a while but I finally went to the shops yesterday to buy a transparent warm (orangey) red as a potential replacement for the...
Denali National Park
I thought it was about time I did something more conventional. Nothing abstract, no acrylic inks, no salt. Just a plain simple landscape. And I...
Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
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 started...
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...
Jesse James
15 August 2018 Here's a companion piece to go with The Searchers. It's based on a scene from The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert...
The Searchers
1 August 2018 Looking at feedback so far, people seemed to like paintings of outer space or Westerns or paintings with people in them. So I...
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...
