I’ve been loving the weather this week. Plenty of opportunity to perfect subtle colour variations of sky and sea. Then lightning fast sketches at Beatles Day 15 at the weekend.
Lots of misty seas this week #APAD

A busy week
I’m still busy with the studio move, so have been a bit slow uploading the images this week.
I might be moving studio, but I’ve still been doing my daily iPad paintings
It’s very nice to have a continuing artist project that I can do even when my studio is temporarily unusable.
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.
Fat Tuesday and the Lanes Brighton
The iPad paintings continue. It’s been about very rapid paintings this week. Trying to capture ‘Now and Then’ during a 15 minute gig and The Lanes in Brighton and Hastings Pier in the rain.
The last of Februrary’s paintings
Here are the last couple of daily paintings I made in February.
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.
Lots of weather. A painting a day
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.
