  • In The Night

    In The Night

    Continuing with the Night series as the nights get warm it’s plenty of opportunity to work outside the usual daytime views which I am very tired of at the moment. First up is ‘In The Night (Midnight On The River)’ – named after the Pet Shop Boys song, but the subtitle is indeed true –…

  • Inktober Week 2

    Inktober Week 2

    The second week of Inktober – and it’s a difficult week with some rather irritatingly fantasy themed prompts and now the shiny newness is over I’m struggling to juggle things.

Part of the ‘Urban’ series celebrating ruined places and graffiti, it was odd to see this here in such…

  • Messing Around With Boats

    Messing Around With Boats

    The Punts and Stunts of the C… *cough* err yes, here is a nautical themed selection of recent watercolours from sailing boats to barges. First is ‘Two, Four, Ait’, a quick watercolour so named because of the symmetry (two boats, two trees) and it’s situated right by Raven’s Ait, an island or eyot in the…
