Woke up, inspired to paint a horse, found this pic from “Game Of Thrones” and set to work at 7am…completed it in one day!! Done on small 12×9″ box canvas, probably took about 7hrs30 overall at a rough estimate.
“Khaleesi Rider”…

Charity Painting Auction (inspired by Sound City 2016)
22/05/16: This time last year, thanks to a great initial suggestion by a friend of mine (Tony Donaghey), I was fortunate enough to get one of my Bob Dylan prints signed/customised by Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips) at Liverpool Sound City ’15, which was then auctioned on Ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to Claire… Read more »

Trying a change of style…
It’s going to be hard to try and not be so much of a “perfectionist” but I successfully managed it with my “Pete N Puss” painting last time, and that’s my goal – to capture a great likeness but to also keep the pieces looking less photographic and more “painty”. On a few occasions at… Read more »
“The Finalist”…
After a sublime performance by Liverpool against Villarreal in the Europa League semi final second leg, reaching their second final of the season, Jurgen Klopp’s celebration at the end, including orchestrating roars from each section of the crowd, was a magical moment. This painting I am going to do, on a small 12×9″ canvas, is… Read more »
“Counting Cards”…
I had so much white paint left over in my palette after working on “Ellis’ Bunny” that I decided to start ANOTHER piece, this one from my ‘to do’ list that was initially chosen after the recent national autism month.

“That Catch!”…
Been wanting to paint this moment for a while, I actually watched it live on channel 4 at daft hours in the morning when it happened and it was just stunning! This years draft which I recently watched gave me the inspiration to finally start it, Odell Beckham Jnr and that amazing one handed catch… Read more »
