POA

This painting was started in 2018 as a sketch and was left for several years before I picked it up again, when I decided it would make a painting. I left it sketch like as I thought it made it look more realistic.

New Painting

2018-10-23T16:21:00.000+01:00

Just starting a new picture and I am going to try to remember to post pictures as the painting progresses. This is the drawing,for which I used the grid system to transfer the image from a smaller photo. You can see the remains of the grid after erasing as much as possible, the paint should cover the rest.

Monday morning, 21st May, it's raining, but this is Ireland, we expect it to rain, so make the most of it, at least we won't die of thirst.
Had a nice surprise yesterday evening, my wife said she heard a Cuckoo, haven't actually seen or heard a Cuckoo in the village in 40 years of birding here. Luckily it started calling again and I spotted it in a Sycamore tree in the garden next to mine.

I'm back working with coloured pencils on my Birds of Ireland series, Only about 400 left to do.Lol
Here's a work in progress, "Song Thrush" using coloured pencils on Bristol board.

Back to the birds and coloured pencil, I still have the intention of painting every bird common to Ireland, however I think my production needs a boost.

"Thames Barge"

Ink pigment on Acrylic paper.

16" x 12"

Another painting using ink pigment, I really like using this medium, the colours are so vibrant and I find them easier than watercolours. Going through a phase of boats at the moment, which I love, although I'm a lousy sailor.
