I delivered the “Happy couple at the beach” painting at the weekend to the couple who had commissioned it. They had paid me for it and seen the image via an email but it’s not the same as seeing it properly, face to face. Their reaction, when they did see it, was one of delight […]
I knew when I started this week sorting out the various updates for my website that it made sense to add the older black and white pen and ink drawings of Repton (in south Derbyshire) to the new batch that I finished off for Repton Parish Council in the summer.

It’s been really gratifying to hear all the lovely positive and upbeat responses to the black and white painting that I finished off last week for the happy couple on the beach. With a few people I know trying to guess who the mystery couple might be…! So that means that now I’ve finished it I […]
At long last after working so hard on this painting, its time to unveil it. The request at the time of first discussing the painting with the clients was for me to work from photos I had taken, and to depict them lying on a beach, with the sea gently frothing behind them, the sky […]

I’m getting on well with the black and white seascape painting this week. Due to having a cold last week I just did the background basic tones knowing that I would put more details to it this week when I felt better and my head was clear again. Colds are always annoying for wasting time! I knew […]
The current painting that I’m working on should be quite easy. It’s of a couple who are naked, and lying together with their legs entwined, there is nothing on show, which makes the painting tasteful and elegant.
