I'm heading southwest again to add a few more pictures to my series of Cornwall Landmarks miniature watercolours. This one is of Cape Cornwall...

What better for Sunday afternoon than painting a couple more small tree pictures - a holly tree on Harrowbeer Common and some fir trees in a forest? These are Nos. 11 and 12 in the series.

I'm on a roll (i.e. unable to settle)... Here's another lone Dartmoor tree, No. 10 in my series of small square tree paintings.

Here's the full set (so far) of my small tree pictures. I think these look good in individual deep 9cm frames - it's like a series of windows each giving a glimpse of its own piece of "magic matter made from air".

This morning's painting is of a typical windswept tree on Dartmoor from a photo I took near Yelverton a few weeks back. It's No. 9 in my series of small square tree pictures.

Not had much time for art recently but I realised I've not posted this picture of the #TottenhamHotspurStadium, a birthday gift for the #Spurs fan in our family

This morning's miniature watercolour painting is a view of the old turnstiles at Home Park @pafc.co.uk to add in to my Plymouth Miniatures series.

We drove over to Stourhead in Wiltshire today to meet up with my Surrey-dwelling elder daughter and husband. I was blown away by the birthday gift she presented me with...

This morning's painting session took me on a quick trip to the 16th century for No. 12 in my Plymouth Miniatures series, The Merchant's House.

I've squeezed in a rare session of afternoon painting... and added an 11th picture to my Plymouth Miniatures series: Saltram House @nationaltrust.org.uk

I had no intention of painting this evening, but then I accidentally sat down, grabbed a small square of paper and hyperfocus kicked in!

So here is Tree No. 8, with a wonderfully autumnal splash of orange...

This morning I have returned to my Plymouth Miniatures series for No.10, the distinctive copper-clad Roland Levinsky Building at @plymuni.bsky.social

This evening I thought I'd add another small tree painting to my collection. It was mostly done through pure instinct and, to be honest, I thought it was going to be a complete disaster. But in the end, I like the way it turned out!

Exmoor Views No.12 - Red Deer

I don't normally paint animals so I am pretty pleased, and a little amazed, how well this one has turned out!

I surprised myself this morning and managed to squeeze in the time to complete another picture in my Exmoor Views miniature watercolour series: No. 11 - Dunster Castle

I've returned to my Exmoor Views miniature watercolour series for No. 10 - Tarr Steps, a 3000+ year old clapper bridge over the River Barle...

Spectacular sky this morning...

I've been searching for a hardback copy of Jeanette Haien's wonderful book 'The All Of It' for over 5 years (timohare.blog/2020/05/20/t...). Today, I got my hands on one, bought for ~£10 on eBay - not only hardback, but a UK 1st edition originally gifted by the author herself! Thank you universe 🙏

Whoop, Whoop! My first sales from Facebook Marketplace listings are ready for collection later today and tomorrow...

5.6 mile loop walk from near Ringmoor Cottage over Ringmoor Down to Gutter Tor and Ditsworthy Warren Farm, then via Edward's Path to Natter and Yellowmead Stone Circles and Sheepstor village...

The photo is of Malmsmead. The church is a short way along the road at Oare. Exmoor, Somerset.

I was there in July... here are a couple of small watercolour paintings I did of Oare Church and also one of Malmsmead.

I've been arranging and framing afternoon - a full set of my Dartmoor Scenes miniatures ready to sell to a colleague and a test run of the full set of my Capital City Landmarks pictures to see how they look altogether.

#art #watercolour #watercolor #painting #Dartmoor #capitalcities #landmarks

I've made greetings cards out of some of the earlier ones (Dartmoor Scenes, House Plants, Capital City Landmarks, Cornwall Landmarks, Exmoor Views) and also created 3 x 3 composites for printing as cards or framing (examples below). But I've not had much time to devote to this in recent weeks.

The short timescale for completion is key for me. I can often squeeze a 30 minute painting session into my morning routine but can rarely find time to work on larger pieces. I've not really tried working on a larger piece over multiple days.

You certainly may ask - it's nice to know that there are people out there enjoying my efforts!

Most of my miniature watercolour series pictures (e.g. the London Landmarks) are 5cm squares. They take me ~30 minutes to complete. I mostly paint from images I find online, sometimes from my own photos.
