Right, I can tell you more about the erotic abstract now….. I was happy that I had finished it the first time, but the woman who I had done it for found it confusing in parts, and I realised over subsequent conversations with her that I had probably made it overly complicated in trying to […]
I really enjoyed chatting to the journalist from the Burton Mail the other day. I was pleased he’d given me 20 hours to mull over the questions, because that meant I could give him some indepth answers. But then his questions were very deeply personal ones as well. It was a real fun thing to do, […]
Although I’m busy finalising the planning for the painting I’m doing, I also need to think long and hard about the talk I’m doing at the library at Burton on Trent in less than a fortnight’s time. I’ve got my talk half written, but it needs to be more succinct, and I need to have […]
I don’t like to rush the design stage of a painting. Having said that by the time its come to me, its quite easy to sketch some ideas out to see how they work, and then adjust the colours or tones accordingly to make the painting better in as many ways that I can. But […]
Four hundred. Four hundred with this one. Blog posts that is, that I’ve written since I started in March 2007. Its almost the anniversary of that coming up soon too, and I still love it as much now as I did then. Perhaps more so, because more people comment on it in real life. So, […]

After doing a bit of shopping yesterday I returned home, pleased with my clothing purchases. I’d found three tops in the sales that I liked – two of which are more “arty” in that they are highly patterned and brightly coloured. I particularly liked one of them as it has various shades of pinks and blues in it, […]
Thankyou for the interest in this little competition – both here as comments and privately by email. Right then, here they are the answers to the competition of the erotic abstract that looks like an abstract: 1. How many people are in the picture? Three 2. How many men are in the picture? One 3. How […]
Right then, here it is – the erotic abstract I’ve been working on, unveiled at last. It looks like an abstract. That’s because it IS an abstract. Tee hee…. But, it is an erotic abstract. So that means that there’s more to look at. Far more. I have purposefully hidden the erotic aspect so that those who […]
