  • In The Night Garden

    In The Night Garden

    The Night Work series continues with more paintings at dusk on the river – so much so I’ve named one YAS not so much after the cliched gay slang, it stands for ‘Yet Another Sunset’. Sadly because of time and when I get to go out, and the restrictions due to COVID-19 has meant more…

    5PM Challenge Highlights day 9-24

    It’s been a busy few weeks for the 5PM Challenge, which if you’ve not seen my Instagram or my previous post is a self-set challenge where I draw or paint (the rules of the Challenge formerly known as the 5PM Drawing Challenge are intentionally loose) every 5PM for at least 5 minutes – but as…

    Raven’s Ait watercolour

    I completely forgotten I’d done this one back in early-mid July during that nice spell. A view of Raven’s Ait along Queen’s Promenade, it’s pretty much the reverse view of the Kingston Bridge oil I just posted – you can see the yellow rails on the mid far right of that picture, just before the…
