Changes

Digital painting using “Brushes” app There have been a lot of changes in my life recently, not the least of which has been my acquisition of an iPad. I have been trying to teach myself to use the various digital painting apps . I must admit I am … [...]

February Landscape Abstract

14″X11″ oil on canvas It is fun to work on a slightly larger scale, still not very big but four times the size of my usual. I also worked entirely from memory here. I tried to soak up the colours as I was driving and remember them. I am not sure th… [...]

Grand Union Canal

7″X5″ Acrylic on board Anyone who has been following this blog may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything for a couple of months. Believing as I do in truth in advertising, I stopped calling this a “daily painting blog” some time ago, but I real… [...]

Sketches

Pencil & Watercolour in Moleskine I just got a new scanner so I have been looking for things to test it with. I found this in my sketchbook from a couple of weeks ago. The building is the Shaw Festival Theatre. [...]

Solstice

5.5″X3.5″ Watercolour & ink in Moleskine Not a very good photograph but I was too lazy to scan it (I have to take my laptop into the other room). This is really “Noon on the Common 158″ or something, but I thought I would take advantage of th… [...]

8″X5.5″ Pen & Ink An interesting day. I must have walked through half a dozen climate zones on my lunchtime walk. It went from cool and overcast to gale-force wind to blazing-hot sunshine to storm-laden clouds and back to sirocco-like hot wind a… [...]

12 Mile Creek 2

7″X5″ Acrylic on board I apologize for my lack of posts recently. My problem is partly that I have been coping with all sorts of “stuff” in my life and partly that my muse has deserted me, perhaps the two are related. This one is rather a poor excus… [...]

Morning Walk

7″X5″ Acrylic on board Still in Rincon, looking north-east on “Sandy Beach” at about 6:45 am. This is a surfing beach but not too many are here this early in the day. With practice we learn to paint certain subjects. I have never been a big fan o… [...]

Trigger

7″X5″ Acrylic on board Having painted Maybelline in her favourite place I felt that I must paint Trigger in his. There is nothing he likes more than taking his b.a.l.l. to the b.e.a.c.h. Careful what you say because I suspect that he is learning to … [...]
