With kind permission from Michael Colfilm I used one of his many amazing photos of Japan to knock this up today. Been a bit of a break from being on the brushes. This was lots of fun. I particularly love the giant vespas or tiny car 😂

Values could have been stronger. Lines a bit straighter.

Don't think I've ever painted a statue. Certainly not like this. Good challenge. Good fun. Windows are the work of some dodgey builders 😅

Snowy Oslo. Playing with some different ideas.

Taking lessons from - and hopefully paying absolute respect to - John Yardley. Venice. Limited palette.

Imagined scene. Just felt like painting. Could be Italy somewhere I guess 😂

Today's session - some things I like. Slowly feeling more and more confident. Water is my Moby dick. Boat is a bit flat.

And now for something completely different. Rusted hinge. Texture. This shit is hard 😂

A wonky bridge. Good practice tonight - lots to learn as always.

Been a while and it's nice to be back on the brushes. Boat yards in Venice.

A rainy day in Amsterdam. Lots of fun doing this one. I like my crowd. Not crazy about the main building.

Feels better than yesterday's effort. Next one might be ok. Except for all those wonky lines - guess I know what this week's practice is 😂

Ya get the good and the bad. Flinders Street station saved by a decent crowd.

Storm coming to the town by the sea. This was fun. Screwed the sky up. But I quite like my town.

Have I mentioned how much I dislike water? I could write pages on how many things are wrong with this painting but hey...you get to see the good and the bad 😄.

Certainly lots to take away from this one.

Sunday splash. Another in the "trying to paint every day" series. Have I mentioned how much I hate painting water ?

Quick splash of paint and water today. I kinda like it. Trying not to overthink things. I could have kept more snow 😅

Took me three goes to get kind of happy with this. It's getting there.

I rarely do landscapes so today was a welcome challenge. Good practice today - inspired by the unbelievable work of Edward Wesson.

This morning's practice. Water. F'n water and reflections. I'm always too timid in my water, shadows, and reflections. So today I went a bit stronger. I think they're getting better.

Tonight's practice. More work on softness and water. Loved doing this one. Snow. Trees. Mist.

Visited in 2019 just before the world shut down. The famous Katz's deli. Today's practice.
