The Road – A mini review

The Road (2009) About as depressing as the M25… The Earth turns grey, most of the human-race has died, a father & son walk across a burnt out America in search of the coast. They reach the sea and father … Continued

So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints 💗

This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before. I'd also frowned upon them a wee bit, but these were surprising nice to use 🙂

This week's sitter on the Sky Arts Artist of the Week show was DJ and presenter Nihal Arthanayake.

Another of my Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Week challenges, with this week's lovely sitter Clare Balding. As with all of my others, this is done in ink pen & acrylic, on top of some appropriately found collage pieces...

A must point out that in my intro, I wasn't remotely implying that I'm not a fan of lovely Aine Devine's great artwork 😯 I was trying to say how awesome she was to watch 😃💗😃

Today has been rather testing 🙄 Had to reset o Today has been rather testing 🙄

Had to reset our boiler about a zillion times 'cus it's shite 🙄 Noticed our freezer had been accidentally switched off 🙄 Thankfully as our house is as cold as an igloo no real harm was done 🥶 Noticed that my laptop lead wasn't working properly 'cus its got a dodgy socket, which may mean all future Zoom classes could be very brief indeed 😳 Noticed that my external microphone that I use for said Zoom classes needed a new AAA battery, which of course we didn't have 🙄 Have since found a battery in a torch, which no doubt I'll regret removing when we next have a power cut 😀 Whilst emptying our log/coal fire I dropped hot ash all over the kitchen. Oh yeah 🔥 And now we can't watch the final 'It's A Sin' because of a fucking shiting bastard network issue 😡

If I make it to bed in one piece I'll count that as a bonus 😃 And if my Zoom Art Class tomorrow morning runs trouble free, I'll be absolutely astounded!!!

My Weds evening Zoom Collage sessions are always lovely & fun. This week's I thought, was especially jolly & creative 💗 Well I certainly enjoyed it anyway 😀

Lots of gel press printing this week. Lots of mess. The normal carnage in my art room this morning, but all good fun...
