  • Winter Scene

    The weather has suddenly turned wintry. Cold and with short snowfalls. That reminded me of another sketch, it would be interesting to work on. It is crude – like most sketches. The idea works and that is enough. What fascinates me about digital painting is the many brushes you can use, and the difference you…

  • Blue Night

    To me, the moon is endlessly fascinating, and I’ve taken an excess of moon photos. Looking through them a few days ago, I came across one that was, from a photographic point of view, blurred and unsuccessful. I took it with my phone, late at night. It had potential though, as I liked the colours,…

  • Autumn Trees

    This is another digital sketch I haven’t worked on for years. Sometimes you can’t see what is wrong with it, and that was certainly the case this time. It featured a bridge that was out of proportion with the rest of the picture, and I was at my wit’s end to repair it. Today, it…

  • Girl with Picture Hat

Which would seem the lesser of two evils? I’m not certain. No doubt, sailing through that gap might catch you between a rock and…

  •  Yellow Rose

    As I worked on this digital painting, it occurred to me that the rose could also present a woman’s head in half profile. She turns away from the viewer and her hair or had or hair-ornament takes centre stage. As the sketch is still available, it is my plan to work on it again to…

  • Urban Trees (Two Versions)

    * * Sometimes, it is difficult to decide when to stop and which version of a digital painting works best. So, here are two versions of the same painting for your perusal. Let me know if you have a favourite. * * © HMH, 2022
