I did a painting of Sparta Puss way back towards the beginning of The Pandemic Lockdown early last year, something a bit fun to put into my window to entertain people out on their regulation 1 hour a day walks. I did it very quickly and now I’m thinking of entering it for an exhibition.Continue reading “Tidying Up”

Background Painting
I carried on working on the background in my family zoom quiz painting, putting in the bit of the living room I could see over the upper edge of my laptop. I like it better than my original idea of having the individual ‘boxes’ just hanging in blackness. A Chance To Own One Of MyContinue reading “Background Painting”
A Painting Now In A Minute
I painted a seascape a few weeks ago – here’s a timelapse video of me doing it – all in just a minute – I wish! A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have givenContinue reading “A Painting Now In A Minute”
I Thought I’d Finished …. I Was Wrong
I decided to do some more work on the big Family Pandemic Zoom Quiz painting I (thought I’d) completed earlier in the year. The original had a plain black border, but in reality the laptop sits on my lap (the clue’s in the name) and I can see part of my living room over theContinue reading “I Thought I’d Finished …. I Was Wrong”
Choppy Texture
Here’s the latest fake I did with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Ed started the weekly lunchtime sessions at the start of Covid19 lockdown in March last year and he’s done about 70 so far. This week it’s a copy of a painting by David Hockney. I think the original showsContinue reading “Choppy Texture”
Painting My Plums A Bit More
I started to paint a still life of plums from a food photo I took way back at the beginning of the Covid19 lockdown last Spring. I was cooking like a maniac and my creativity was channelled into photographing what I was doing. The photo is from a recipe called “Hot Buttered Plums” – hereContinue reading “Painting My Plums A Bit More”
Painting My Plums
Back at the beginning of lockdown, about 16 months ago now, I lost all interest in doing art but got obsessively into cooking. I took photos of what I was doing as I went along and blogged them. Then I found Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook and got stuck into doingContinue reading “Painting My Plums”
Bit Of A Curate’s Egg
Here’s my latest from Ed Sumner’s Friday sessions at the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Normally Ed chooses an old master (or mistress) to copy but this week we did something different and painted from a photograph. I’ve got mixed feelings about it, it’s a bit of a curate’s egg, but I’m learningContinue reading “Bit Of A Curate’s Egg”
Cutting My Losses
Sometimes things just don’t work and you have to decide whether to carry on struggling or cut your losses and pack it in. That’s where I am with this copy of Claude Monet’s “Landscape on the Ile Saint Martin (1881) that I started with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook last week.Continue reading “Cutting My Losses”
Faking A Vincent
Finally finished faking Friday’s masterpiece, Sunset at Wheat Field by Vincent van Gogh, painted in 1888. I started it with Ed Sumner’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Ed’s been running these sessions since lockdown started in March last year, to help people find a focus in these weird times. I’ve now completed overContinue reading “Faking A Vincent”
