First painting of 2026, where else but Mwnt. New year's resolution, use more paint, it's theraputic. I've used lots of paint here, and paint is cheaper than therapy.

On the easel today: Loving these small 8x6inch chunky canvases. #puffin #puffins

Some paintings come easy and some are more of a battle, this is one of those that has been on and off the easel more times than I'd like over the last few months. Today's tweaking done, I'm going to call it finally finished, maybe. Oil, 24x18inch.

'First Lambs, Preseli'. It won't wont be long before the Preseli hills look like this again 🐑

'Across the tops, Preseli'. I can't wait for Spring, seems so long since we've seen a sunny day like this in west Wales.

Christmas commission - The Teifi Waterside, 24''x18''. The river Teifi passes right in front of this hotel, it's very picturesque. Until a few years ago it was called The Webley Hotel, although everyone called it the Poppit Inn. Coincidentally I had my wedding reception here.

This red kite painting was inspired by the red kites at Bwlch Nant yr Arian red kite feeding centre, near Aberystwyth. In 1999, Bwlch Nant yr Arian became a red kite feeding station as part of a programme to protect the small number of red kites in the area at that time. #oilpainting

Inspired by a recent trip to Skomer island. Puffins are known for their comical appearance and colourful beaks, they are sometimes called 'the clowns of the sea', and are a popular attraction on Skomer Island, off the coast of Pembrokeshire, here in Wales. #oilpainting

One from the old days, when I used to paint portraits. I think I painted this from a postcard my mother sent me from Nepal.
