Welcome back, oh how I’ve missed you. #filmhouse #edinburgh

Out with the lad. #tshirttwins

Exhibiting again. This time at the Eric Liddell Centre for a month in the South Wing.

Oh I’m also in a book, “Edinburgh, One Drawing at a Time”. The launch is tomorrow at the Centre.

#woohoo

My current backlog, I keep getting distracted and starting another one.

The … with The Pearl Earring

As they had a few spaces left, I’ve added a few more pieces.

Actually that’s only half of what I could have put up. #edinburghurbansketchers

Urban Sketchers hanging up day. Early at the moment as the walls still have some blank spaces. I have more than enough art to cover it, if needed.

That’s them mounted and ready to be handed in for tomorrow

Progress update on the drawings I started about a month ago. Some shading blocked in now, I need to add more detail, probably more highlights. The black paper stuff is a lot easier.

More art, a friend of mine and his missus. I’m very happy with this, I got the likenesses right and didn’t overwork the background. Plus he’s rather chuffed with it.

Home made presents for a belated birthday present

Kung Hei Fat Choi, happy Chinese New Year everyone.

Quick jigsaws for a friend’s birthday, she’s getting the Corgi with the Pearl Earring.

Or is it that they can’t be confident of finding all the snipers?

Work in progress, the white paper is for period scenes of Dalry, the black is for Edinburgh night scenes and single picture is an evening scene.

I’ll be playing about with these for the next few weeks.

Sean cooked, boy it’s lovely. Pork, noodles, sweet peppers, and a broth.

I wish I’d known, I would have done it for half.

I’ve really pushed the boat out this year and put the presents under the tree.

#wooitsxmas

Merry Xmas to all my friends, new and old, and I look forward to catching up after the festive period.

More art

More art, last session before the Xmas break. Woo hoo

More art with longer poses

Quick sketches from tonight life drawing

Welcome back to bendsville lefty, oh how I’ve missed you.

Ooh I like this walking lark.

More art, a bench in Murieston Park. #mykneehatesme

The Right start their own social media platform, nobody joins.

Bluesky and Threads launch, the Right joins and immediate get banned.

I've jiggered my left knee and have been limping around my flat for days.

I've already got the limp and grey hair, I just need the accent and the medical degree.

Having watched the whole of House, I'm practising things like “sarcoidosis” and “his kidneys are shutting down”.

#itsnotlupus #house

What a difference a few days make. #snowwaydude

Well it’s a winter wonderland now #whatsthatwhitestuff

Ah that’s what’s making the sound outside my window

Here’s all my socials if anyone needs to find me.
