Donna.
Finished portrait of my wife Donna. Quite a small composition of 12″ X 10″ acrylic on canvas. I’m quite pleased with this although quite a journey to go to achieve satisfactory skin tones etc. But on the whole it’s certainly her…. Al
Dondons.
Portrait of my wife Donna ‘Dondons’. Not my real forte, but what is, but never the less this is where it is at the moment with my work. 12″ x 10″ acrylic on canvas. All washed along with a bottle of rather nice Pinot. Al
Amelia.

An old picture of mine given a new lease of life from an antique frame discovered in a Topsham charity shop. 610mm x 780mm 😎
Summer at Anchor Woods.
Summer sunshine is just what I could do with now. Just a quick pastel sketch to keep me from watching too much laptop. (190mm x 280mm) Unison Pastels on card. I’ve tried using pastel paper but find it a little coarse so am using coloured mount card….Al
Amelia.
My daughter Amelia a picture drawn on my iPad using the procreat ap. Quite easy to use but is it art? Al
Pilton fields.
Just a couple of pastel sketches. Middle sketch of Manning’s Pit including pig nuts & buttercups. The other is a copy off Pinterest of an artist whose signature I can’t read. Just playing for a few hours to loosen up my usual way of working. Al
ps The artist is John Singer Sargent.
Save Manning’s Pit!
A few pictures of a wonderful area close to where I live called Manning’s Pit. I live in a village called Pilton, North Devon. Nearby is a wonderful stretch of water and woodland called Manning’s Pit. This is under threat of development for a housing estate. The people who intend this are property speculators, who like elsewhere, and have no sympathy for the local’s wishes. We have grown up and played in these fields. Our children have grown up and played in these fields and the area is a great community asset. Please visit the Save Manning’s Pit page of Facebook and follow the directions to post a protest vote. Please save Manning’s Pit! Al
The linhay on Braunton Marsh.
From a photograph taken on a cold Autumn cycle ride along the Tarka Trail in North Devon. This renovated cattle shed is on the Braunton Burrows nr Crow Point. I’ve attempted to catch the afternoon’s dew left over from the morning and the partially frozen stream. I’ve also left my camera’s light refraction in the painting. For me it was the water that drew me to this image! Al
