I was rather taken with the idea of portrait painting for a while, and knocked out a few.  I really must get back on that horse.  It's a fun one to ride.

This was the start of a painting for a series on Sinbad the Sailor.  It only ever got this far as the studio I was in was proving impractical to work in.  I gave this to my model, Ren, to say thanks.

This is a quite large, square painting of yours truly, waiting in eager anticipation to purchase a whole load of screaming metal records during record store day 2011 in Brighton.

Some quick paintings of the sky. I think I'd been to visit the Ashmolean museum in Oxford and seen a painting by Constable that inspired me.

These two paintings are from a trip to Wales in 2011.  They're both 1m square.  

I went on a camping trip for a few days, which included a stay near my personal favourite spot for mountain biking at Coed Y Brenin. 

This was a follow up trip from the year or so before when I went to North Wales and did a couple of watercolour paintings of National Trust Property 'Bodnant', and Rock Climbers delight Llanberris Pass. 

When I got home I included an etching in the series of artworks, which inexplicably appears at the bottom of this post I wrote a while back showcasing etchings in America.
