Back to Windsor tomorrow with work but i'll be taking my new camera hopefully to get some good shots of the castle and surrounding area.


The last piece is taken from the classic Western 'The Wild Bunch', forget John Wayne this is how Westerns should be.


I decided to attempt a bit more colour work with acrylic and purchased a book by Charles Evans who has a no-nonsense approach to painting and mixing colours (I actually attended a watercolour weekend with him a few years ago and could definately reccomend it to anyone wishing to begin painting, smashing bloke). Not too bad for an early attempt.


This was me trying to get back to my miniature drawing work as some of them were sold at the Parkmore exhibitions and the Bobby Robson Charity Fair. This one measuring 100mm x 55mm.


This one is still a bit of a work in progress, Rammstein's lead singer in full fire flow, the good news is that they are touring early next year, got to be there for that one.


The next one was the acrylic painting of the World War 1 soldier sitting in the mud and devestation all around him.


31/7/11-Finally got caught up with some unfinished pieces and completed some new pieces. Treated myself to a new digital camera so I will be able to get some much better pictures to help me work from, way more powerful than the old one, it was getting too dificult to get the coal for my old Kodak. The first piece finished is the acrylic painting of Ian Curtis from Joy Division.
