So these are paintings of friends, (although neither of them are officially Old Codgers or WAGs).

John Donaldson is the next Old Codger to be subjected to one of my portraits.
I’m really getting into these portraits of my friends, colloquially known as the Old Codgers and the WAGs. I know Peter Blundell well, but I’ve only recently met Richard and Mary. Peter, I’ve imagined as a Greek God in deep thought. I’ve chosen to base my portraits of Richard and Mary on first impressions. Richard, I see as an enigmatic dandy and Mary, his wife, cosmopolitan and cultured.
If you know me, watch out, you may be next!
I’ve made a calendar using some of my daily iPad paintings.
I’m selling them at £10 and they’re available from me, or from local outlets, including St Leonards Central in Marine Court.
I have made a painting of my friend Marylyn Edwards. It’s looking like my Codgers and Wags series might actually happen!
I’m told that the Jack-up barge is likely to be at #HastingsPier for another 7 – 10 days. This is a once in a lifetime event, so I will keep recording it with daily paintings.
The excitement in Hastings at the moment is that the Jack-up barge has arrived to help with the repair of Hastings Pier. You can expect lots of painting of it in the next few weeks.
Such a great gig at the Stade yesterday. The Demon Barbers XL
Things are calming down a bit now. It’s the first time in ages I’ve posted just 6 paintings at one time.
I’ve had a full August. I’ve been away to Scarborough and Brittany as well have having a lovely staycation with Nicky. Lots of painting too.
This is the second time running I’ve posted my paintings after 2 weeks not one. Still doing them every day though!
