Been away from blogging for a while, not really sure why just been busy since the back-end of last year.
Just to catch up, Isabel, my daughter (in the portrait) will be 1 year old soon. I’m still playing football for both Boca Seniors in Henley and less frequently Torpedo TF in London. I’m due to play for TF next week in their last game of the current season and another relegation nail biter.
Promise I’ll try and be more regular with the postings from now on…
My sister-in-law in profile. Can’t remember where I drew this.
Another painting from the get together a while back. Thanks Lizzie for wearing shades and big hair!
No game this week, so here’s another portrait from the same day as Kate in number 2.
This one was drawn a few weekends ago while we were having a few friends over. There’s a couple more from today to come.
Sitting by the river one lunchtime, I decided to extend my One Minute series to include landscapes as well. This is The River Thames from Datchet with Kris Cruisers in the background.
I had read about the Brushes iPhone app and saw the New Yorker cover which was done in Brushes, so I purchased the app (just as it dropped to £2.39 yay!) and have been playing with it all weekend.
I quickly did a (very) rough portrait of a friend and love how immediate it is. I’ve been doing some oil painting recently but I had forgotten how time consuming it is, having to wait a week or so for large areas to dry. So on Sunday we had some friends over and I did some more ‘one minute portraits’. They are quick, rough and sometimes funny but lots of fun!
