This one needs goggles in case of high speed insects. Except sometimes they fog up / / /
-
A moth thing, landing. Or something / /
-
This one could be sleeping. Or dead.
-
The original was quite tiny…75mm across by 100mm high. Glad I got a half decent pic before it sold
-
This is the original piece that I took my avatar from. He’s about 25×20cm, watercolour etc on canvas. There is iridescent leaf applied to the wing panes but can’t see it in the photo. / / He is…sneaky. / /
-
Another portrait…I just finished reading ‘To The Lighthouse’. / / Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. / During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928). more / / Charcoal and white conte crayon on brown paper. / / This was drawn from a photo taken in 1902 by George Charles Beresford (Public Domain). / /

Behold his beastly majesty. / / A big new addition to my bestiary – watercolour, pen, chalk pastel, copper leaf on canvas. He is biggish…35×28cm. As well as on the crown there are little bits of copper throughout. / / / / Crappy shot but it shows the scale: / / / / Shiny shiny / Shiny beast with feathers!

Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was one of the most famous German field marshals of World War II. He was the commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps and also became known by the nickname “The Desert Fox” for the skillful military campaigns he waged on behalf of the German Army in North Africa. / / Rommel’s military successes earned the respect not only of his troops and Adolf Hitler, but also that of his enemy Commonwealth troops in the North African Campaign. An enduring legacy of Rommel’s character is that he is also considered to be a chivalrous and humane military officer in contrast with many other figures of Nazi Germany. more / / Black and white conte pencil on brown paper. Drawn from a famous photograph taken of him during WWII, original photographer unknown. / /

Oh…something bad must have happened. Another set of 3 canvases – watercolour, chalk pastel, ink pen, metallic pen and silver leaf, each canvas is 15cm x 10cm – I’ve created a composite for RB. / / / / / / I make composites of these sets so I don’t fill my folio (and people’s activity monitors!) – if anyone wants to buy one of these on their own, let me know!
-
Fiiiiiiinally finished. A companion piece to this one I did a year and a half ago: I decided the other day that there was a distinct lack of blue paintings in my folio! Had to rectify the situation. He is approx 30cm square, watercolour/pastel etc on canvas. He has shiny silver leaf on his spikes too.
-
I got sick of beakfaces and lizards momentarily and decided to paint some fishies – literally, goldfish…I’ve applied patches of gold leaf to their little heads. Despite being distracted by Eurovision I managed to finish it this weekend!! This one will probably be at Brunswick St Gallery in their small works show, June 6th. About 20×20cm, watercolour, chalk pastel etc on canvas. These enlargements are bigger than life size:
-
You know that kiwi band, straitjacket fish? I mean, straitjeckutt fush? This creature is badly behaved. 30×30cm, watercolour, pastel, ink, metallic pen, iridescent pigments on canvas.
-
Not the friendliest beast in the bestiary! Somewhat wounded too…I think he needs some ‘alone’ time just now. He is big and took ages – 30×40cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments (on the feather tips) and copper leaf splatters, on canvas.
-
Been a while since I did a beakface. This one has a hinged beak! A bit out of shape though. Little – 10×15cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent blue pigments (on the feather tips) on canvas. Unbelievably, unlike most other photos of my works, you can kind of see the iridescent pigments!
-
In the bestiary there’s also a garden. It’s walled off though, so the beasts can’t trample it! I loved painting the undulating fin shapes of this piece, so I had to do another. 15×30cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and copper leaf on canvas. In this one you can see the shiny copper:
-
Another slightly deaf creature, like this one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and copper leaf on canvas. In this one you can see the copper on the suckers:
-
Angler fish really are quite remarkable creatures! They live in the deep deep sea, further down than the light can reach, so to lure their prey in total darkness, they have rigged up a system of light emitting devices. They are not turned on here (as he is in the light, and they use up a lot of power so he only turns them on when he is hungry). Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas.
-
My first piece finished in 09! Another octobeast from my series – here’s another one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, metallic leaf on canvas. / He has golden suckers!
-
/ Another hungry angler fish I painted for this show. Opens this Sat! Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas…continuing on from this one: / /
-
/ / So I was at a sushi restaurant with my friend, and she said ‘ostrich tentacle’ rather than octopus tentacle. A curious beast that just had to be painted. Ostriches are cool – sort of snooty and silly looking at the same time. / I liked painting his funny feets. Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas, 30cm x 23cm. / / / /

Painted for the Gallery 696 birthday show opening April 1st – the brief was ‘greyscale with a hint of colour’. The side wall of the gallery is about to get a new graf makeover in greyscale. Can’t wait to see it! I’ve always thought sea dragons had fold out accessories…didn’t you? Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and metal leaf on canvas. The shiny bits: /
-
Some curious beasts indeed! First time drawing horses…as an adult anyway. I used to draw them all the time as a kid. Not quite like this though. Watercolour, ink and chalk pastel on canvas.
-
A clockwork squid! Watercolour, ink, chalk pastel and metal leaf on canvas. I used my new airbrush on this one. Shiny bits: /
-
Hunted for the copper on his sails…now he is protected. A big piece for my show coming up in September (details to come!) Watercolour, ink, chalk pastel and metal leaf on canvas.
