My Heart Belongs to Hastings
It’s amazing how aware of the weather you become when making a painting outside every day.
It’s not upside-down!
Two new oil and mixed media paintings.
The last of Februrary’s paintings

You may also have noticed that I’ve rejigged the website, so that A Painting a Day 2014 has it’s own page, accessed through the Gallery tab. A Painting a Day 2014 is subdivided into months.
It’s illegal to draw in Priory Meadows Shopping Centre Hastings!
For today’s painting I thought I’d do some reportage painting. I liked the idea of taking the time to create a painting from life when so many people could just snap a picture on their camera phone. H&M are just fitting a new shop in Priory Meadows Hastings and I thought it would be good to capture the front being fitted. I was amazed to be asked to leave by the security guard as it was private property and I needed special permission to draw there!
Better weather for traveling.
We’ve been up to Scarborough, North Yorkshire this week. Although the trains are still not running properly, we were lucky with the weather.

This week I’ve spent quite a lot of my time hiding from the weather in cafés perfecting how to render steamed up windows with rain on them.
Walking the dog
The latest my series of Out and about in St Leonards paintings.
Paintings from Marrakech
I bought an iPad Air in Duty Free on the way to Marrakech. I managed to make quite a few digital paintings in the 4 days we were there.
A painting a day
It’s been a while since my last post as I’ve been in Marrakech. It’s all change with the rules now. Sea couldn’t play a part in my Moroccan paintings!
