  • Bus Shelter series

    Bus Shelter series

    Recently I have been increasingly drawing and painting the views from a bus shelter. It is a challenge as not many shelters are in picturesque places! I started doing this in 2019 and early 2020 just waiting for buses or hiding from the rain. This became rather more urgent and even poltiical in lockdown because…

  • 5PM Challenge 107-128 Highlights

    5PM Challenge 107-128 Highlights

    This has been a long time coming, since the 5PM Challenge fizzled out in July, although I posted several pieces during that period that were earmarked for this without the 5PM Challenge tag or number – especially Windy Stormy Day, River Blues and Windy Day and Evening Crane.

    Surbiton Odds And Sods

    I have made various attempts to extend my range during lockdown, like drawing buildings – a previous blind spot and something I still struggle with not making wonky! And these apart from St Raphaels are currently exclusive to this blog, not uploaded to Instagram, they are outtakes. The first is a view of my road,…

  • Back to the Trees, Part 1

    Back to the Trees, Part 1

    Being totally burnt out with river drawings and paintings after 4-5 months of lockdown where I kept it local, I went back to the trees…the Dead Tree series. I did try different angles and perspectives of the river, as you’ll see in a future post, but there is only so much you can do of…
