I was trying to create Marcus Weeks as Marcus the thinker, mainly because he is.

I’ve had a number of portraits nearly finished for a while now. Here’s Agatha Coffey. I put the finishing touches to her portrait this morning.

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

This is my latest painting in the Codgers and WAGs series. It’s Pauline Lee. Getting her partner Mike may be more of a problem. He’s only a part-time Old Codger as he lives in Australia.

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!
Here are two more of my friends:

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.
Here’s three more paintings of my friends. If you know me, watch out, you may be next!!
