Making sense of a recent donation in a charity shop I volunteer at…

Another moody landscape. I wanted to work on water and light while using digital pastels. This is not AI nor is any part of this AI.

Pastel and gouache on wood

When you find a mondegreen in one of your favourite Magnetic Fields songs and it sets off your creativity... Can’t be only one mishearing things here? Stephin Merritt sure knew how to mumble back in the ‘90s, that’s for certain: https://youtu.be/UGNKhVJbDM8

Dump those dirty oranges, if you know what I mean (and I'm sure most of you do)...

Meal time for the jellyfish.

Romantic birds and their narwhal pals.

Kicking art blocks where it hurts, one step at a time.

Why stop anytime soon?

experimenting with a little cut and paste...

Real life

Sea creatures galore/business as usual.

Umm the oil pastel is a little messy but ok.

It totally bypassed my mind that last night I would be off to see Gary Numan with my uncle. The perks of having both an over-active work life and a social one too...

Something warm coloured for the incoming spring. Also befitting of the feelings a lot of folks in my life (and myself included) seem to be feeling right now! Much cobweb detangling figuratively speaking this month past, that much is true...

I’m no stranger to weird dreams, and last night’s one was no exception to the rule. The doodle alone may do things *some* form of justice...

Thank the maker for weekends past, hangovers and random observations that inspire.

New sketchbook time :)

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

This is a reproduction study only of a very famous Monet piece. I am not selling this. I learned how to do art according to the traditional methods of studying great masterpieces. I did this in soft pastel,but the origional is done in oil I think.

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

Living in the moment...
