I draw. I write. I keep busy. Award winning artist working full time in health care.
Thanks to @Dawn_French for her warm reception yesterday, in North Wales. I hope you liked the additional drawing, and sorry for springing it on you. Thanks also to @suehunter50 and Adam, for your kind words and facilitation. Do catch Dawns show, on tour now. Itβs jolly goodπ

A very kind share of a drawing I did, using the wonderful photograph by Rick McGinnis as reference. Iβve admired Ricks work for many years. One of the very best portrait photographers in my humble opinion. Do check out his work, if you have a mo. @rickmcginnis @JessicaBiel

For the person who said my art was witchcraft. It isnβt. All so called realism art shows its hand when viewed close up.Β Iβd often stand in front of portraits in the NP gallery and analyse their mechanics. My only βtalentβ is to fathom the mechanics, then practice a great deal.

The very talented and very watchable Olivia Colman. Dry pastel on board. #oliviacolman

βBare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. β


This is my drawing around half way through. Iβm using dry pastel, oil pencil, and colour pencils on Fabriano smooth. Thereβs still a lot to do, the right side will need a build up of colour (burnt umber, walnut brown, etc). The left just needs more detail. Have a great day π»

A very Happy Birthday to the coolest girl I know. My daughter, Maddy. Currently living her best life in Australia and using the Bourne arty genes to good effect. Love you β€οΈ

My dear friend Lily loved this drawing. I miss her more than I can put into words, and when I visit her resting place tomorrow with every blade of grass I clear from the verdant blanket that embraces her I shall spare a thought for all who havenβt seen the sunsets they deserved.

Me and my Dad, in the carefree days of beige and brown and clothes that generated electricity. Me about to show my incompetence at fishing. Again. He loved his profanity, so Happy Fucking Fathers Day, Dad. Miss you x

This is an old one, from seven years ago, but Iβve been asked for the colour palette so Iβm posting a WiP pic. Hope that helps those who enquired.

Very still life. Dry pastel and acrylic pen on black card. #stilllife

We will be lost and found a thousand times along this cobbled path of us. Pencil and pastel on paper.

Jodie. Pastel on paper. #jodiecomer

The artist Anthony Eyton RA. OBE. Still being creative at the age of 102.Β Happy belated birthday πΎ Pencil and pastel on paper.

To all of you whoβve been so kind about my art stuff, I thank you. I used to try and reply to every one, but life has been so dark for a while all I can seem to manage is a β€οΈ. And, my output has been poor. Rest assured I value every word. Business will be resumed soon enough π

I know very little about Harry Styles, or his music, but this drawing did jolly well at a charity auction a while back. Over seventy bids came in. Thanks to Harry for having so many fans who felt compelled to do soβ¦. @Harry_Styles
