Not for foxes.

I took the picture of these doors while on a walk in Bildeston UK.
But the little fox is an addition of fantasy.

Gold Street

It took me ages to draw this in the grid lines because I kept miscounting the squares :)
It's a pity the gold sky is not apparent.

Painting a bearded man.

I only ever met Nigel once in Ely Cathedral grounds and again on the market there.
I hope he eventually received the original and that life is good for him.
Thanks, Nigel. Whenever I look at this portrait I think of our conversations.

Grow Painting (Speed Watercolor Painting)


California artist Aaron Smith 
paints men from a bad-ass neo-dandy beardo brigade from beyond time.

Artist Statement
The Victorian/Edwardian eras have always captured my attention. For years I've collected vintage photographs of men of the period. These men for me represent a masculine ideal, if largely a constructed one. Their bearded faces and distinguished attire are spectacular, while their stiff poses and serious expressions belie a certain vulnerability. My recent decision to translate these small colorless photographs into monumental, expressionist portraits is an attempt to ruminate on these contradictions. I also want to draw parallels between the rituals of initiation found in western culture and those practiced in tribal cultures by painting these gentlemen with colors inspired by Bird-of-Paradise and the extravagantly decorated Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea.

Grow Painting (Speed Watercolor Painting)
"Grow" is a watercolor painting on paper by Allison Maletz. 

The "Beardsong (Ode to A Beard)" was written by Hannah Rockcliffe and Sophie Madeleine, Performed by Rocky and Balls. They own this song. I am not trying to sell this song, or video.

Dustin Brown, Tennis Player.

This is my first portrait using watercolour paints and gold ink.
I couldn't attempt all that flying hair and wanted to depict the energy
for such an energetic and powerful game.

Raedwald's ceremonial helmet at Sutton Hoo.

The helmet I’ve painted is based on the remains of Rædwald, the ruler of the East Angles which is displayed at Sutton Hoo.
Mine has very many colours behind the metal; this is because I wanted to convey the hopes and fears and the personal and political aspirations of warfare and ceremony.
Interestingly the publicity photograph I copied does not look like the helmet shown
in other publications, pity I can't draw nicely but I think it depicts a certain sadness.

Clouds floating over Skipton's Victoria Mills.

As the blog title says, happy art accidents.
My photograph of Victoria Mills, Skipton, only has a couple of clouds
and the far right quarter had the mill building that is now converted into flats
so I had the problem of adding clouds a few weeks later.
I think that the camera 'leaning' of the chimney adds to the impression of height
and I also like my hanging and 'ghost' trees.

Ruben

Ruben is a rescue dog from Romania painted in watercolour.
Pity I couldn't get this copy to show the detail of his eyes and nose.
Still no twinkle.

Molly dog.

Mollie was commissioned and I painted this acrylic version for fun and for me.









Fortunately Mollie's 'mum' preferred the watercolour version after much debate.

Grandma M'reen

Is the world ready for Grandma M'reen?
I do have four grandchildren so I qualify.
This cause quite some conversation in my Thursday afternoon art group 
with some concerned about the quality of my dreams!
Maybe they've never heard of Grandma Moses?

Yatchs in the bay.

While technically terrible, I'm cuffed to little mint balls over this painting because
(if you'll excuse the pun - and if you excuse the pun you might as well excuse all the other) I'm all at sea with such a painting style.
