Working from home

Ink & watercolor on Arches cold press.

I painted Van Gogh's irises on my kithen cupboard door. We needed to put a door on the space where the microwave used to sit but we couldn't get one to match the rest of the cupboards so we got a piece of board and I painted it with acrylic paints and varnished it.

All hands on deck.

11”x14” Graphite and charcoal on paper

Inspired by a visit to the Bowes Museum and a great Norman Cornish exhibition

Influenced by the Japanese art style.

Architectural subjects are not my penchant....but this is a pen line drawing of our house which I did a few weeks ago near the beginning of the "stay at home" phase of our lives. Seemed a fitting subject. Just a couple of micron pens on a smooth surfaced paper.

This is a Giraffe sketch I did inspired by a photo I saw on the internet. If you want to see the recording and process of the drawing click on the link to go to my YouTube channel also please subscribe :)

Millie Small (1946-2020). That bluebeat girl that took ska around the world.

Just came out of a sudden fever and i had a dream of this beauty as i healed. Hope all of us will come back strong like this beast once this pandemic is over.

Those were the days.
