Update

Hi all,
It's been a while since my last post so I thought I'd better update you. The last 18 months have been grim due to health issues, (mostly my wife) and then the dreaded virus came along to cheer us all up.

I have to say that art has been my saviour and given me  something to focus on. I don't know how people without creative hobbies have got on in the lockdown. They must be pulling their hair out.

One of my latest paintings.


Anyway, I have managed to do a bit of painting and drawing even though I haven't had time to post them. To make ammends I have just updated my digital and traditional art pages for you to look at.

Even though I'm saying it myself, I'm amazed at how much my digital painting has improved during the 18 months since I bought my ipad. If you go to the digitasl paintings page and scroll to the bottom to look at the oldest image, then compare it to the one at the top, I think you will agree with me.

The surprising thing is that my tradditional drawing have also improved. I can't make my mind up which I like doing the best, so generally I have one of each type of project on the go at the same time.
I am also managing to make videos of my digital work and you can see the lastest one here.
If you enjoy the video please consider subscribing because I'll be doing another one soon. Hopefully my next post will be along quicker than this one. If you have any questions please don't hessitate to ask, and keep safe.

Christmas Card

Hi all,
Following our tradition, I painted a Christmas card for my wife. It was inspired by a photo I took of some deer when crossing Cannock Chase a few months ago.
Here is the photo.
And here is the Christmas Card.
I think it came out pretty well considering I didn't take too much time over it. If you would like to see how it was created, I have done a short video. Please click on the link below to watch it.
Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed please consider subscribing. The next video is of me painting a longtailed tit.
