Decided to get a new largeish oil on the go. Something that I can potter at for a while. I’ve revisited one of the paintings I did for…
So, warm up out the way I returned to a piece I’d abandoned late last year. Sorrow is an oil landscape on a black primer, as opposed to the usual…
The Love Supreme project has developed quite a bit, and I realised I hadn’t posted an update. I got discouraged with it so it sat for quite a…
I started a new landscape in oils. It wasn’t going well so I mixed all the blue of the sky and the green of the land together, and…
Another wee cloudscape. This one’s a work in progress, because it’s been built up using thinner layers which have to dry in between. With oils this means waiting…
It’s not often I paint anything small enough to scan in on my A4 scanner, but this one is. I think I going to experiment with some glaze…

The current painting, on the easel in the studio.
I’m toying with titling this Open are the double doors of the horizon; unlocked are its bolts which is from the texts found in the Egyptian pyramids, via…
This started off as trying to do something Monet-esque with some warm greens and some yellow and red highlights. Not quite sure where it wandered off but I’m…
New astronomy pic Oxygene taking shape on the drawing board, and slightly experimental thing provisionally titled Weather Storm drying at a jaunty angle on the floor beneath the…
First layer of colours on….
Some might recognise this as Nightwater – an attempted and failed abscape trying to capture the way light seems to eminate from water at night. Well I was…
