The Tryst
I had another go at a sky painting in soft pastels today but I'm already veering off the beaten path by going for a cloud formation that looks like...
Sir Geoff Hurst

Bunnahabhain Distillery

Two Kiln Oast, Newington

Mings Chinese Takeaway, Newington
Another Newington landscape tidy and once again it's using the Notanizer app. Today it's Mings Chinese Takeaway and I've painted it using the...

Porto City Hall Tower
Today's painting is the second, after The Transfer, to be inspired by a photo taken by my mate Olly on his recent holiday in Portugal. Whisper it,...
Queendown Warren: Rain On The Way
