Donnington Castle at sunset.
Trying new style, and really pleased with the result. Using a magenta ground really made the colours pop.

Went to see the Kerry James Marshall exhibition at the Royal Academy at the weekend, and have been thinking about it ever since. Astonishing, impactful and beautiful.

“Rooftops”
Acrylic and pastel mixed media on cold pressed cotton watercolour paper.
A bit of an experiment this, going for a more impressionistic style.

Crimson and gold.
My first ever oil painting! So difficult, but really satisfying to see the final result, even if I made a million mistakes.
Oils on gesso-coated mdf board.

Finding it hard to process the terribly sad news about Diogo Jota. Such a talent. Thoughts with his Andre's family.

Finally got round to seeing Sinners on Saturday.
Wow, have been thinking about it ever since. Best film of the year so far.

More practice with acrylics. I learned a lot with this one, both what to do and what not to do! Theme was "thriller".

I have been rewatching Twin Peaks recently, and just got up to THAT episode. 8 years on and it remains a unique piece of screen storytelling. It's a reminder of the power of imagination, that so much of today's tv and film seems to have forgotten.

Just finished my first ever watercolour painting (I normally use graphite). Can see a thousand things wrong, but overall pretty happy with how it came out.
