Here are another couple of charcoal portraits, again the references have been taken from Wet Canvas. Thanks WC

I've just started on a couple of abstract charcoal paintings which I will post when I've finished

 Found this small canvas when I moved my stuff into the new studio and decided to paint over it.I posted it on the WC art forum and received the best comment I've ever had about a painting "It looks like sex", thanks timE you made my day

  Been very remiss with blog postings of late, slap on the wrist. So here are a few of the pieces I've been working on. These are all charcoal and they are all references taken from the Wetcanvas image library, which is a great resource. With thanks to contributors Hugh Hill, Dale and whoever posted the "miner" ref, I'm afraid I can't find the name.

Just moved from my little studio to the big  room at the back of our place, it's twice the size so I can make twice the mess! and I'll be able to use bigger canvases. Can't wait to get started.

The room has large windows and a glass door leading onto a balcony which I will fill with plants. Our dog loves it, he lies in the patch of sun that comes (most days) through the balcony door

Here's the third...

Here's the second "palette knife mini":

This is the first of what may become a series of small works done with a palette knife. They are 24x30cm acrylic on canvas board.

Okay I'm up and down like the weather at the moment. No dosh for canvas and paint, so I've dusted off my graphic tablet and here are some of the results:
