Here is an extra post to brighten a dull Sunday.
I was going through one of my portfolios the other day and found this drawing of a young man showing his Calvins.

This is an acrylic painting of a young man wearing shades and a leather jacket.
I think the leather came out particularly well.

This another landscape I painted locally.
When I was at Art College In the mid 1980's there was a small park consisting of two disused platforms( for a branch line that no longer existed) at Merton Park Station.
This view was painted standing between the platforms and looking towards the line that was still in use.

This is a small acrylic painting that I sold at the first World Science Fiction Convention I attended ( Glasgow in 1995).
I still like the juxtaposition of the oriental dragons with the English pastoral landscape.

I recently came across my first self portrait.
I did this when I was on my Art Foundation Course in the mid 1980's. I had to set up three mirrors to allow me to draw myself in profile.

I have recently completed a new acrylic painting.
This is a self-portrait based on a photograph ( by Paul Holroyd) of me in Georgian dress.
Incidentally, the coat, britches and waistcoat are my own work.
Hi
Here is an extra post for this week.
I found this coloured pencil drawing in one of my sketch books. It was inspired by a picture by Tom of Finland .

Some few years ago our friends John and Barbara were having a significant wedding anniversary and her sister , Kate, commissioned me to do a painting.
She asked me to try to include all their mutual interests. These included Science Fiction and Fantasy books, series and films; putting on firework displays, computers and Filk Music ( for those not in the know, Filk is -mostly- folk-type music based on SF & F).
Kate also told the tale that Barbara's father had once told John that he expected a suitable number of goats and camels to be provided as bride-price. After the wedding John presented him with a substantial pile of plastic toy goats and camels.
Barbara had also once told me of a dream she had had about living in a teapot -rather like the dormouse in Alice in Wonderland.
I sneakily snapped a photo of them at a Science Fiction Convention to use for the picture..
This is the painting.
