Cooling Off

I was being teased by a friend in a different part of the country that she had just taken some chocolate muffins out of the oven, how yummy they looked.

So I begged her, take a photo for me..

and here, from the photo, my latest painting..

Cooling Off

Making Waves

Sometimes I make little practice pieces - either because I have no painting in mind - or because I have a painting in mind I want to do really well on!

currently, making waves..

Armistice Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month


Remember Me:



Grandad, I do!

Go Milo!

Go Milo!



This painting is a tribute to Milo the jack russell, who sadly passed away, yesterday.

Milo chasing Shady to snatch the toy is the happy memory his mum will keep - of a fun loving, happy tearaway !

Winter Woods

Winter Woods, a workshop with Steve Cook..

this is my effort ..

Charlie's Angels

The finished painting - called "Charlie's Angels"

Why?
Because it was Charlie who had a birthday treat of keeper for a day at Colchester Zoo... and his mum kindly let me use some of the photos she took. Charlie's favourites are the Penguins .

Penguins 2

The background washes are now completely finished.
Onwards towards painting the penguins, stones and foreground washes.
