The return of an old friend..

roger@eth3r.co.uk (Roger Taylor) — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:31:00 -0700

Originally I created this painting as a gift for my Grandfather and my Great Aunt. Sadly both have since past away. Now it's come full circle back to me. Well no one else seems to want it so it's mine again. I'm pleased about this in a way but I have no where to put it and I don't want to put it in the shed, where quite allot of my art is starting to rot! Suggestions welcome (as long as they're constructive). I might even be tempted to sell, just as long as it goes to a good home.

Cat sketches: Carwash

Some are clearly better than others. These are all done from life, the time scale varies from a few seconds to a few mins and sometimes I just make up the rest. Cat's are excellent subject matter but a bit like running up hill; It never get's any easier!!

A bit of an SEO experiment. I keep reading on my stats, that generally speaking people are searching for cow sketches and getting my website. Maybe Americans will get my site as well if I said these cow's were grass fed (they very much are). These lot aren't easy to draw and I keep forgetting this but they're great fun and quite cute.

Near Jooles in stone sketch

Must make more time to paint, must make more time to sketch. The rain hasn't helped and other work duties come first but today there was no rain!

Common plot oils

roger@eth3r.co.uk (Roger Taylor) — Mon, 16 May 2011 07:11:00 -0700

It's been a while so I thought I'd go back to basics. It also seems as and when I ever get free time it rains and is otherwise sunny when I'm at work.

What was I trying to achieve here? Well my goal was to focus more on tone and create a rolling feel with the hills and valley's. The photo here isn't great I might re-sample as the sky looks too white. But I'm otherwise happy with the sky.

My friend found me in Staffordshire Life magazine

roger@eth3r.co.uk (Roger Taylor) — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 10:02:00 -0700

My friend found me in the May edition of Staffordshire Life magazine. I'll update this when they update their online version. This is pretty odd as I don't remember them taking the photo and there's no real mention of me in the article. Nice to be featured though I guess..

I'm finally getting some time to draw and paint again. Lately I've been up to my eye balls with web work which is great and I'm not complaining however I have noticed the lack of out put in this area. More to follow...

Pretty cold again today so I just thought I'd do a sketch, at least this helps me decide whether or not to paint in a location. My fingers packed in after an hour.

I just had a little thought: Sometimes in directly I and allot of people take inspiration from different sources past and present and sometimes completely forget something and then reference it: http://wildcranberryhookedrugs.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/seuratbridgelg.jpg

Maybe..
