Homework

The second in the series of 5 blind continuous line drawings.  This was of my son doing his homework.  People are always the most fun to draw because the results can be really funny.

Yellow Rose

The next 5 pictures were done using a technique called 'blind continuous line drawing'.  This is where the artist uses one continuous line (not lifting the pen off the paper until finished) and cannot see what he/she is drawing but only observing the object.  It is really good fun and I am always surprised by the results.  I added a little colour to them, just to make them a little more interesting to the eye.

The Exhibition

Done from an exhibition I went to recently, the people are silhouetted against the paintings.  The artist is in red - you know who you are...

The Green Witch

Continuing the Halloween theme for today. 

Halloween

Following on from my 'rooftops' painting (done sometime ago).  I included a bat for Halloween.

Streetcar Desire, Sa Pobla

This is an old tram (streetcar) which sits rusting away on a small industrial site in Sa Pobla, Mallorca.  It has the name Desire.

Garden scene 1

Cabbage Farmers

Well, I cheated today because I had to prepare for my first English client and found it impossible to find time to sit and draw/paint today.  This one I did last year and will be added into the new series anyway.

Old Cart

This is the first one in the series.  An old cart under a tree in the Mallorcan sun.  The photo isn't great as my camera is out of battery, so this is a mobile phone shot!

The Postcard Series

The start of a new series of daily paintings.

It's good to be painting again after such a long break.  This series are postcard size and so will all be the same size, however, I am not putting a time constraint on them as some are more intricate than others. 

This series came from the idea I begun in the Summer of 2009.  I started a couple of little paintings similar to this using watercolour/pen/inks etc and decided that they would be the next 30 in 30.  Many of them will probably be of places/areas in Mallorca we will have to wait and see.

Kite Surfing II

The start of a fresh new year.  

It has taken me 7 months to pick up a paint brush here at home - the previous rainforest painting was done in Mallorca in the summer of 2009.

I have FINALLY finished a painting I began in May last year (09). It is a diptych (although not hinged) and a larger version of a previous kite surfing painting that I sold in December 2008.
