My latest (digital) painting project, “Earl Entering Newton Abbot” inspired by Alan Lewis Chambers’ photograph of Castle Class Locomotive No. 5055 “Earl of Eldon” entering Newton Abbot from the west.

I just finished another (digital) painting project. A winter street scene this time, Queen’s Square, Wolverhampton in the esrly 20th century. I think this group of buildings, which still survive not all that much changed have a certain appeal.
As usual, the onset of overly hot Perth summer measure has turned my mind to snowy paintings, so I worked from a range of photographs of this group but transposed them into a wintery snow scene. As with many of my projects this one sort-of grew in terms of the level of detail and took far longer than I expected!

Snowshill in the Cotswolds – digital pencil and wash drawing inspired by Nina Ula’s photograph (thanks Nina!).


Two versions of a digital painting, inspired by a photograph of the River Stour in Sandwich, Kent (UK), which was taken recently by my cousin Anne Wilcox.


English town scene, from imagination. This started out as a quick test of some new “brushes” for the Procreate drawing App. Somehow the idea grew and ended up less than quick!
