I've got lots of wood to paint on.

yes, more horses. I've got lots more pieces to paint on though, and they definately won't be all the same subject matter.

Sleeping Beauties

When the cat and dog aren't chasing each other around the living room knocking things over...

Acrylic and watersoluble pencil.

Ashton Court Deer

In my spare time, I paint, and walk Todd the dog and if I'm lucky I find a bit of treasure (something useful or beautiful or both). So this is a painting I did on a piece of wood I found by the industrial estate while walking Todd. Its of the deer at Ashton Court, somewhere we go walking if we've got enough time.

More work for the project...

Been getting on with this project at an ok pace considering its done in the time leftover from full time work. It feels good that the situation I'm describing in my work is not one I have to deal with anymore...

"come straight back to the kitchen. You can't take a break now. "

early start

work for the project..

'sorry, time for me to go'



These are a couple of the drawing/paintings I'm working on for the narrative. I'm using mainly acrylic with watersoluble pencils for definition and texture. I'm trying to keep the colour palette quite limited: mainly greys, blues, beige.

You've Really Let Me Down

So I haven't put anything up for nearly a month which I feel bad about... this is mainly because I have been too busy hating my job and trying really hard to find a new one. Now I have quit the terrible job and got a different one.

Here's some stuff from my sketchbook, I'm starting to work on a narrative about being miserable because you hate your job.

("you've really let me down"... Something my manager said to me. I felt pretty let down too.)
