Winter walk

A strangely satisfying sketch on a winters walk. I remember my brother came out at late notice and squelched round with us with his white trainers on while we had proper winter boots. The strange blob is supposed to be a dog.

Exterminate!

Actually, this isn't a real dalek it's only half of one as its a very elaborate holder for our Dr Who Uno card game. Watch out for the stairs.....

Ballerina

This was a copy of a painting by Ramon Kelly, a fantastic artist. I still can't believe I produced it, even if it is plagiarism, then again I don't know an awful lot of ballerinas. Don't worry Ramon, it's in my kitchen.

Van Gogh - Cafe a la terasse

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this one and learned plenty along the way. Check out how the canopy is held up! I never noticed until I started doing my copy. The painting now resides at a friend's house. I'm allowed to look at it through their window. ;)

Jamie

This is one of Jamie, a hearing dog we've been looking after. I enjoyed this as it was good to do a live subject, even if it was a dog!

Griphook

This is a sketch of Griphook, the goblin that goes into the vaults of Gringotts with Harry Potter. I took a photo of a cast of his face whilst at the Warner Bros studios and it wasn't till later that I did the sketch.

First post

Hi everyone this is my first post of what I've been doing art-wise lately. I'll try to keep it up to date, but you never can tell.

This first picture is an oil painting I did of my daughter - she was geocaching at the time and we were getting close to the treasure!
