'Striding Out'
Graphite on Mellotex, 17.5 x 11.75 inches
I'm alive and well but have been really busy with real life happenings.
I have a new pencil practice article in this months Leisure Painter magazine (May 2014) on drawing weathered wood in coloured pencil.
'Weathered Stump' the subject of my latest pencil practice article
The next article will be in the July issue and will be techniques for drawing water.
I've marked plenty of assignments for the London Art College diploma course on drawing and painting pet portraits.
I'm in the middle of painting two large commissions of a lovely old Airedale called Joe. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and his owners at Wetherby service station on a bitterly cold winter day so that I could take my own photographs and meet Joe in person.
Show season is fast approaching, my first show of the year will be the Harrogate Spring Flower Show which takes place at the end of this month.
I do intend to get back into a regular blogging routine as it helps me to focus on getting things completed.
