Small WIP of boat at Eling, Hampshire

This is another image showing a small 10" x 12" created in 3 stages, of a boat at Eling Mill, Hampshire, on the outskirts of Southampton. It was painted in oils in a day. The first stage is actually a red painted canvas with the drawing done using brown acrylic paint, but is turned in to a B/W image with tones adjusted for clarity.

Monster Octopus attacking building in storm

Monster Octopus attacking building in storm

A giant octopus is seen attached to the side of a tall building during a stormy evening, its tentacles weaved around the office block. Lightning is flashing across the sky and illuminating the creature allowing passers by on the street to look up and be shocked by the sight of the monster. It has many sharp teeth, and will pose a threat for some time...

Painted in Photoshop to A4 size during February 2014.

Spirit of Autumn Woman

Spirit of Autumn Woman

This digital painting was created in Photoshop during December 2013. It depicts a pretty woman, her reflecting the colours of Autumn, in an Autumn landscape. The picture layout is slightly dreamy in aspiration and has stylised leaves and trees. The woman, and her sweeping movement and flowing energy is echoed in the composition and she is almost a part of the scene herself, becoming the spirit of autumn.

Today i did a little, 10” x 12” oil painting of the pier on the beach at Bournemouth, Dorset. The first is the drawing on the board during the morning, followed at a halfway stage at lunch and the finish result at 4.30pm. The paintings are done on a red canvas, but I have made the first image BW for clarity. Please excuse the poor quality phone images!
A proper photograph of the painting will be uploaded when the paint is dry!

Old Saturn V rocket in desert

Old Saturn V rocket in desert

This digital illustration was painted in January 2014 in photoshop to A3 size. It features a dusty, barren desert landscape with a man riding a camel. In the background can be seen a very old and weather beaten Saturn V rocket, as used for the Apollo moon landings, standing upright it appears for a very long time...

The rocket is shown to be similar in some ways to the surrounding rock formations, tall, old and worn by the sands of the desert storms, and part of the landscape. The rider on the camel has no interest in the rocket, it having been there longer than himself.
