Comming Down

Sunday was a Great day!

I had three pictures on show at the Crowthorne and Sandhurst Art Society Exhibition, and I sold one of them.  I have sold paintings before, but not in a, proper, public exhibition.  But aside from that, what I enjoy most about the day was the company. Kam came along to pass the time, and stayed for the duration of my stint, in spite of confusing non corrected clocks, and…

Watercolour - What A Nightmare

Watercolour – What A Nightmare

Practice, practice , practice, that’s what they say ‘Practice makes Perfect’ then they tell you noboby’s perfect, so should you keep practising?

Of course you should, if you’re having fun.

I’ve been using Watercolour quite a bit at Art Group on a Wednesday, it’s just easier than trying to transport a wet oil painting in the wife’s or son’s car (even harder on push bike).

Below are some recent…

Buried Treasure #15

Buried Treasure #15.

  Struggled a little with the first track, just a personnel thing, a bit too ‘jazzy’ for me, but after that it all settles down into a cool groove.

Time for something new

Time for something new

Been a bit quiet for a while, but I have been painting and discovering some new approaches that I haven’t used before.  The first groups are all acrylic which came about due to a demo/workshop at the Crowthorne & Sandhurst Art Society by Chris Forsey.  I had to scrounge some paints off Paul (Lord Stevens) as I’ve never really been that into acrylics, but it was obviously time to give them ago.

Secularism - Better for all?

Had some thoughts about Eric Pickles’ letter and the responses, my thoughts …..

Dear Messrs Cameron & Pickles

Would you please explain to me how a Muslim can show themselves to a ‘good’ British citizen. I’m having trouble understanding how this would work.

You see, in recent years, British Governments have often made a virtue of the fact that we are a ‘Christian’ Country, with ‘Christian’ values,…

Fall Out From an Exhibiton

Fall from an Exhibiton

Last weekend was the Crowthorne and Sandhurst Art Society Annual Exhibition. I had six pictures on show, and didn’t sell a single one, but, in many ways that wasn’t the point.  This was my first exhibition with the society and I really just wanted to show some of the range of things I’ve been doing over the last few months and years.  I have reposted images of the pictures I exhibited below.

Let's Gert Hawkwind into the Rock Hall of Fame
