There was a time when I would have interpreted the Doodlewash prompts literally…and today would have been a picture of an Aubergine. Today’s image is a development of an idea from my sketchbook. I’ve ignored the prompt! The sketches on this page took roughly 5 minutes each. There is hardly any details and the linesContinue reading “Aubergine”

#CFWeek
I originally wrote this story when I was annoyed! I was tried of the isolation that had been imposed on me at hospital by infection control measures. I was born in the 70’s with ‘low-fat, high protein’ diets and the mortality age of someone with CF (Cystic Fibrosis) was 21. This story is the trainContinue reading “#CFWeek”
Wonky Roofs and Tudor Frames
I sketched my first time with Urban Sketchers Reading in Wokingham at the weekend. I’ve driven, walked, and dined in Wokingham many times and I thought I knew the town. What surprised me was the variety of architecture and what inspired me was the wonky roof lines and the Tudor frames. The group met outsideContinue reading “Wonky Roofs and Tudor Frames”
This little piggy
Covid has been a strange beast. This little piggy has been created using a Covid mask advert! I have been watching the Morning Show on Apple, and I have noticed in other shows, where Covid has crept into the scripts. When I saw the mask advert, I knew I wanted to use it in aContinue reading “This little piggy”
Monochromatic Bunny
Bunny Prompt! I can’t draw bunnies. Not sure that red was the correct colour for this bunny. It has an ‘end of Watership down’ feel to it. This is the kind of bunny you wouldn’t want to mess with in a dark alley. No more to be said!
Criminal Pets
I will be launching my new series of Criminal Pet illustrations at the Woodley and Earley arts group spring exhibition. These new images are based on stories from friends and their pets! Ozzy the illegal fisher – A cat with a natural talent for pond fishing in the neighbourhood where he lived. Peaches the postContinue reading “Criminal Pets”
Easter Break!
I’m back from an Easter break and I’m full of ideas! I had to take some time out as I have been framing up my latest works in time for the local Art Exhibition in Woodley this Friday (21 and 22 April). I have entered a few competitions and I have been editing content forContinue reading “Easter Break!”
New Product!
I work near Daler-Rowney in Bracknell and I have been lucky enough to see a new product. It doesn’t look like much, but this paint tube is very special. It has a left-handed thread screw cap. Lids that turn in the opposite direction has now been scientifically proven to move paint and stop it dryingContinue reading “New Product!”
Sea swimming pool
I like to experiment with ideas, mediums and genres. When I painted this image I was reading a lot of books about abstract art. I’m trying to decide if it’s successful. What I wanted to produce was an image that cut out details with the brush, and then finding details within the white space. IContinue reading “Sea swimming pool”
Balancing Stones
Another of my favourite artists is Sasha Harding. We prefer a beach with sand, but as Sam found stones also have an entertainment value. In the picture are some clothes that I assume were drying on rocks. We never saw the owners! Sasha Harding is Cornwall based and paints mainly seaside views. Her technique isContinue reading “Balancing Stones”
