Here's a quick postcard-sized painting I just did from a photo I took on a New Year's Eve walk from Fowey around Pont Pill near the footbridge at Churchtown...

Why, when I've been a Windows/PC user on a daily basis for >40 years, did I recently 'treat' myself to a MacBook Air. Everything is back-to-front and completely non-intuitive. It's going to take me ages to switch platforms, particularly as I'll still be using Windows at work. It's driving me mad...

Here's another quick Dartmoor postcard - a view along the disused railway track just north of Yennadon...

This morning's painting is another postcard-sized view from an October walk: Ditsworthy Warren House, made 'famous' in the film version of Michael Morpurgo's novel 'War Horse'

This morning's effort is a second postcard-sized painting of a view down a Dartmoor lane towards Sheepstor. I'm pleased with how this one has turned out...

Something different this morning - a postcard-sized view of Yellowmead Stone Circle near Sheepstor, Dartmoor from a photo I took in October...

I'm not sure about this one, but in the interests of overcoming my perfectionist tendency here it is, the last (for now) in my series of bird miniatures: Bird-by-Bird 12 - Woodpigeon...

I didn't think I would have time for art this morning, but somehow I have managed to squeeze in a painting session: Bird-by-Bird No.9 - Greater Spotted Woodpecker...

I've had two attempts and I'm still not convinced with this morning's effort, but here it is anyway: Bird-by-Bird 08 - Blue Tit...

This morning's miniature watercolour painting...

Bird-by-Bird 06 - House Sparrow

He's perhaps a little slender, and believe me, he's not just a plain, little brown bird at all!

This morning's addition to my Bird-by-Bird miniature watercolour painting series is No.5 - Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes).

I'm pleased with this one!

Bird-by-Bird No.4 - Goldfinch

The wing and tail tips are a little ragged and I'm not entirely happy with the eye but I think it's a pass overall!

Here's my next miniature watercolour painting as my birds series grows steadily: Bird-by-Bird No. 03 - Blackbird

People seem to like bird pictures so here's another one, freshly painted this morning. I didn't think I could paint birds but it looks like I can!

Bird By Bird, Number 02 - Great Tit

I thought I'd attempt something a bit different for my miniature painting effort this morning - a robin...

I wasn't happy with the ink smudges on my previous version of Bristol Miniature No.12, so here's a second attempt to capture a view of the M Shed museum building on the dockside waterfront...
