Continuing on this one today. Still a ways to go

Some Sunday practice.

Variations on a theme? Work in progress to go with the orange sweater. Long way yet. I wonder how many of these I can sustain

Online life painting with Toby. 30 minutes, oil on paper.

Orange Sweater. 16x12. Oil on linen. With much thanks to @2fingersinabox.bsky.social for the inspiration

Two colour practice. Blue/orange only (+white). Not bad for 30 mins. Some things need fixing, but that is for the second attempt

More idle doodling as I kill time. Somewhere between scribbles and something worth finishing. should be a painting instead. There is an idea here, I think.

On the train to visit family. Long hours of nothing but a sketchbook and music to keep me company. Time to explore ideas

I was supposed to be doing other things. But here we are. This feels like it could be a larger piece at some point.

Perhaps this would be of interest. A much larger composition that I'm slowly picking away at. "Another Theseus. Today. Again". I've been enjoying building up the layers of the 'flat' walls and exploring visual slight of hand. This is what I get up to when not madly sketching models

I ponder whether I should share the process and stages of larger works? I wonder how that would land here

Life drawing with claylifedrawing(insta) and @doableguys.bsky.social .

WIP to get my brushes moving before other activities demand my attention. I'll definitely return to this as I continue refining the light

A little more done on this one. Still more to go. 9x9

A couple hours of paint-based meditation. Trying something different with today's procrastination. With much thanks to @planting-man.bsky.social, and his very inspiring Patreon. Oil on linen, as usual. 9x16.

Let's add this here as well. Finishing up a sketch from a session with @kramerevans.bsky.social in December

Finishing up that special request from the fall. Still some things to do, but largely it just needs to dry.

Another little WIP coming along. 9x9, oil on linen

Feeling exhausted. It's that time of year I suppose. Making time for a little painting at least

Spent some much needed time in the studio today, cleaning up a sketch from a recent life painting session with @kramerevans.bsky.social Oil on linen

Paint experiments this morning. Chromatic shadows, messing around with shapes. Being a bit more abstract. Etcetc

I don't normally do special requests, but here we are. "portrait" practice I suppose. Work in progress. An interesting challenge, pushing me to really think about surfaces, shapes and reflections. Probably a few weeks out from being finished. For now it rests while i do a bit of travel

WIP. Distraction. Procrastination. All the above

Let's post this here. As I think about what to write here, the phrase "A backlog of promises" comes to mind. I'll squirrel that away to title a painting at some point. A quick sketch from Sunday, to motivate me to dig into the paintings I promised to make.

Pretty pleased with this one. 50x76cm. Oil on panel.

Getting my brain back together. Small progress on the things I'm supposed to be doing. Bigger progress on the distractions. such as this one. Oil on aluminum, 6x6" Really like the result of painting on metal. Gives it a liveliness that non-reflective surfaces just don't have.

Still struggling with brain worms. But at least I got some painting in, even if not what I had planned for.

Struggling with motivation. But best way for me to create motivation is just to start painting small things. Tomorrow I'll do better

A quick sketch. Oil on linen. 4x6. Single brush

I wonder what would happen if I sent "I need inspiration" out into universe

Even on vacation, and travelling it is important to paint hot internet guys. Thx for the inspiration @thatsugarguy.bsky.social . Oil on linen, 4x5, single brush challenge

I think I neglected to share this here. So. Let's fix that. Work in progress

Progressing, progressing. I'm liking where this is going so far.

Work in progress, challenging myself to work larger and aim for a higher level of finish in my work. Working with a model via zoom.

A little sketching today. Oil on Paper

I'll just put this here.
