Something different for me. Acrylic on canvas sheet. I'm not a natural painter and find it confusing. So more practice. Practice thinking, exploring , doing... And the inevitable cliche.. the journey not the destination.

A mandatory duck in pastels I did a few weeks ago. I'm really pleased with my progress in pastels. Practice practice practice.

A self portrait I'm working on, (although probably wont do much more) with my beloved and much missed #bullterrier Nansi.

#colouredpencil #artist #mansbestfriend #selfportrait #drawwhatyoulove #draweveryday #art #englishbullterrier #dog
Sketch in coloured pencil of longhaired women with hair tied up with her face half covered, cuddling a pure white english bull terrier dog. The dog is looking directly out of the picture at the viewer . You can only see the dogs head. It is partially coloured.

A little mallard #duck done in #pastels on #pastelmat .
23x33cm.
I'm starting to be a bit more confident in pastels. But still out of my comfort zone.

I don’t play and experiment enough. So I have. Seeing what works in a new paper.
Decided I hate paper as it has a brick like texture
But continued to see how far I could push it.
Refuses to take any more abuse. So guess I’m done.
Mixed media on W&N pastel paper.

Its of Chaz, a #newagetraveller who sadly died a few years ago.

4 days later and I'm still overwhelmed. #NineInchNails in Manchester. #Treznor is a genius. I wept during the first song, just him and a piano. I sobbed when it finished, I didn't want it to end. No other music or gig has ever hit me so hard. Overwhelmed

Fairly quick drawing for me. Not really finished but the surface wont take any more abuse.

Wolf for our wolf

Pastel on pastel mat
Quite a challenge. I'm still struggling to understand pastels.

An early drawing I did of my friend Harry.
An immensely takented chainsaw carver, sadly no longer with us. This got to the finals of SAA artist of the year and was in an exhibition in London, which was thrilling.

Yesterday I got to give @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social a portrait of him I drew after we saw him @hayfestival.bsky.social a few years ago.
He's brought us joy and debate via his books and on radio.

I love cows.
It's one of 3 I've done of cows close up and at unusual angles .
This was published in an international, coloured pencil artists book.
Coloured pencil on drafting film.

The third kingfisher I drew last year.
I may do more as it is impossible to get fed up of looking at such beauty.

(I think) I finished this picture of two #horses just before Xmas. Although I feel it needs a bit more faffing.
It's hidden away for a few days, so I can see with fresh eyes.
