A Head…
Sketched this one to warm up with earlier…
The Stone Master
Quickly sketched this up before commissioned work this morning…
Wren Rider…
Managed to sneak in this quick warmup before I dive back into my commissioned stuff for the evening…
From The Vault…
Drew this one a year or two ago…
Big Hair…
Taking a break from commissioned work today, I’m frazzled on every level. Scribbled some lines over this old sketch…
Roots- Lots of Roots…
Finished this one.
I’ve also uploaded the before and after shot. You can see that I literally ‘drew’ with the ink. Lots of fun, a little scary, but worth the challenge…
(apologies for the watermark, some people can’t be trusted)
Manipulating Photos and things…
I just found this on a hard drive. I don’t do much photomanipulation stuff, Not sure why, I really enjoy it. the Elf and the faces in the rocks were painted in photoshop. I vow and declare I will finish this one someday…
Lunchtime Sketchings…

Miss Lothlorien 2013
Young Ivy here loves wants world peace, equal rights for Unicorns and loves a hot curry on a Friday night…
Making Music…
I liked this sketch so I thought I’d add some colour….
Tonight’s sketchings…
I had a loooong day in the studio working on commissioned stuff today, consequently, my eye and brain were sufficiently tuned enough to work directly onto the paper using an old biro to draw this doodle in front of the telly this evening…
Elfmother…
I’ve just been commissioned to paint a ‘real’ version of this old digital painting. I’ll probably be using watercolour and gouache and I’m very much looking forward to it. I thought I’d add the steps I take to get to the final image here.
Here’s the drawing transferred onto a sheet of tracing paper, ready to lay onto the sheet of watercolour paper…
‘Twangin’
Haven’t posted anything for a while… Here’s a sketch from this weekend. plinkplink.
Progress Shots…
Working in oils can be both liberating (when you’re using them) and frustrating (due to drying times)… Here’re a couple I worked on recently.
‘Enter’…
Preliminary tonal piece for a new painting…
Mouse Rider….
Finished this one earlier, it’ll be shipped off to Germany as soon as the paint dries.
More Steps….
Here’s how this is going. From the initial drawing, through the tonal sketch and onto the oil painting…
Work In Progress…
I have a lot of stuff happening right now. If you’ve seen any of my recent posts you’ll know I have an exhibition coming up. I’ve been absolutely inspired lately and am playing things by ear. I haven’t made a shortlist of art to exhibit yet so I’m frantically painting away to see which ones resonate the most with me. I started this one earlier this morning and have spent approx. 4 hours on it so far, the fact that I’ve done this much in such a short space of time leads me to conclude that I’ll probably be exhibiting this. (oils).
A Little Dude on a Dragonfly….
Here’s a sketch from earlier today….
And here’s what happened after I scribbled some ink over it…
Last Doodle Of The Day….
I’ve been hard at wok on my latest project all day and wanted to draw a ‘just because’ drawing. This is it…..
Pigeon Rider…. finished.
Spent a few hours on this one last night and a few minutes finishing it off this morning. Posted it up on Facebook and it sold within minutes. Isn’t the internet wonderful!
(watercolour/acrylics).
On The Drawing Board (today)….
Fitting these paintings in around commissioned work (keeps me sane). watercolour/gouache.
And here’s the painting from yesterday completed…
