The first self portrait in a while
So here’s another portrait drawing; a self portrait – drawn from a photo on my computer. I wanted to choose a photo that wasn’t just a blank expression – and I think the likely expression in the drawing makes it come alive. It probably took be around half an hour and I completed it in…
I redrew the same photo three years later – and it’s even better than before.
About three years ago, I was looking though a portrait drawing book. I saw a drawing at the back, so I thought I’d give it ago. Since then, I’ve hardly done and drawing. But I decided to get back into it a bit – and so I drew the drawing again. Somehow, even though I…
What do you think of this painting? Mont St Michel [REPOST]
A couple of years ago at the beginning of 2021 I started another Virtual Tour sketchbook, this time around France, a much bigger prospect than my tour of Britain. I only got as far as Le Mans before I stalled, probably because I have now been to France in real life twice since I started…
Photos from Anglesey
Last year I went on holiday to Anglesey. I didn’t post about it at the time so I thought now would be a good time to do so. The middle photo is definitely my favorite. I just used the camera on my phone and didn’t really think about it – but when I looked at…
Some very interesting paintings [REPOST]
A Dangerous Game I came across these and thought I’d share them with you. I like the style, especially the sky. It gives an interesting effect of making it feel like you are looking across a lake in the rain.

Very interesting indeed – I definitely like the style, and the colors of the door and the walls go well with the darker browns of the paintings. It gives the impression that the door…
Take a look at my bike shop UI design! It turned out great.
A while ago I was wanting to do a UX design project of some sort. I wanted to design something from start-finish, but I also wanted it to be a fairly small project that wouldn’t take too long. I had a look at some resources and decided to do a landing page for a bike…
Great Horned Owl painting: First Friday Art — bend branches [REPOST]
This month, I’m sharing a Great Horned Owl painting I did over the past couple of days. I used acrylic paint on a piece of unfinished oak wood. Sometimes I paint the main subject shape with off white paint before adding the color. I used this technique in my High Desert Mural. This time I […]…
Pond — Paintings by Rita [REPOST]
When walking in the park on a sunny, wintery day, I came across a pond in the New Zealand garden. The sun was on a cabbage tree on the other side of the pond, highlighting the tree trunk and some nearby reeds and grasses. The reflections in the water, the opposites of pines and natives, […]…
