The slow march of progress continues. This'll be the last painting in the forests of Castletown for the time being, the location for the next planned paintings has been fenced off by a developer so my plans to go there this winter solstice has been cancelled. #savecastletown

"Under the wings of a murder of crows" Oil on canvas 124 x104cm. The image is from sundown at Winter Solstice last year in the woods in Castletown. #savecastletown

'Shine' Oil on canvas 54 x 44cm. My third attempt at painting this little plant. Now it's back to the forests to begin the largest one yet. I may be gone some time! Engaging full studio hermit mode, music and brushes at the ready....

Let the festivities begin, time to wash brushes and find a corkscrew, here's hoping for a peaceful holiday and a more sane new year in this world of ours.

New years resolution.. tidy studio properly before getting stuck into the next painting.... did I stick to it, 🤣🤣

Today I will mostly be playing with a new camera whilst trying to paint🤣

The (very) slow march of progress continues! I took a break to work on some other things for a while, now it's back into complete forest isolation mode for the next god knows how long, music and coffee is the order of the day!

"We found what we needed in the meadow and in the woods" Oil on canvas 107x77cm. These wildflowers were picked in Castletown by my young co-creator of this series of paintings. The meadow has since been destroyed and the woods fenced off by a private developer. #SaveCastletown

Some more progress on this painting, I'll be a while yet!!

Slowly approaching the home straight on this, then it's on to the next one, and it's Friday!!!!! @forestpainting

A day when all of this is all there is 155 x 105cm oil on canvas. This painting endeavours to capture the sublime inner silence I experience when in a forest like this. Immersion in this painting process has had its own transformative effects, it’s always a chase to the next one
