The Joker "Finished"

I say finished but I find I have to make a real effort to leave a work alone and finalise it. I keep going back for "tweaks"! However, I am pleased with this one...and must move on.

Work In Progress

Just because its showing tonight (again) on Channel 9. Many of the lightest parts are actually black/very dark blue but the paint is still wet so it's all shiney here. Hands and eyes aren't finished neither.

Finished Portrait of Spike Milligan

Completed hat, background and shirt yesterday. This was one of the quickest I've ever done and I'm pleased with it. I stole the background style from Rob Hannaford, the pic from a biography of Spike and doubtless much else from others.

Something Old , Something New


Here's a new painting of an old favourite subject. I havent been painting for six months but feel more motivated again. I've gone about as far as I can with this one but I've learnt a lot by doing this. Not perfect by any means but fun to do. How do you make Ringo look "not wierd"?

Oil On MDF Board, 900 x 600 x 3mm.
