General Tank - digital illustration

In an alternate 1^st WW universe, this caterpillar tracked vehicle armed with a long gun, was to have been seen on the muddy battlefields. It also acts as a 'General', with its stylised face, barking orders to the few remaining at the scene of devitalisation and death.

The war illustration can be seen in greater detail here.

Old dead tree - oil painting

Painted during Autumn 2023, the subject is an old dead tree, resting on the ground and gently rotting away. It was to have been seen in the New Forest, Hampshire during the summer of that year, where a reference photograph was taken of the subject, leading on to the creation of the studio painting later on.

The painting measures 20 x 16", and is painted in oils on primed mounting board.

It can be seen in greater detail on this link.

Plein air painting 118

On the 6th January 2024 the urban sketchers (facebook group) met at Ocean village, Southampton. It was a very cold Saturday morning, not helped by standing in the shade of a large building where I missed out on warmth from what little sun there was, and wanted to get it done as soon as possible. Painted in oils on mounting board, sized at 12 x 9.5"over a 1 ½ hours.
