Spring Onions


A friend gave me a sketchbook yesterday. I'm going to try and do a drawing each day. Starting with this; a 5 min continuous line drawing with felt tip.

Oil on MDF board - recycling! Not sure whether I like it yet. 47x36cm - that will be a nightmare to frame. From photo:

Dragonfly Collages

Network Arts day yesterday - textural collage with Sarah Janavicius. Didn't get on very well with the textural bit but enjoyed the collage.

Spent the afternoon on the carpet surrounded by dragonfly wings..looked a bit like I had been dismembering them.

Cherry blossom


60 x 60cm oil on canvas - a request for my friend Sheila

Return to Fish Street


So I recoloured this with oil pastels - figured I had nothing to lose since I didn't like it the way it was. Think It's an improvement?

Amotherby St Helen's North Yorks


30x40cm oil on canvas. Wanted to paint a scene from this village but slim pickings on Google images hence the church. At least there was a nice bare tree. Needs to be dry enough to handle in 3 days... used fast drying medium - fingers crossed.
