Don't let the sun catch you crying

I posted a detail of this a while back ,

here's the finished painting !

Pencil on paper

You'll only find a head like this in Ireland !!!

I'm waiting to move into a new studio at the moment

so haven't been able to do much painting !!

Have been spending my time doing a bit of drawing .

They don't make them like this anymore !!!

Work in progress

Just a rough detail from something i'm working on !!

In too deep

Let this painting out of the studio before i got a decent photo of it .

I do that a lot , think i might be stupid !! 

Must ask my mother if i was dropped on my head as a baby !

Just another page from an old sketch pad !!!

I once approached a lady who looked like this

in the street to ask for directions ,without a word

she swung her hand bag at me and knocked 

the hat of my head !!! 

true story .

As my father always says ,

there's just no talking to some women.

Some old life drawing

Just felt i should post something !!!

Jealousy

A painting from 07 called Jealousy ,

one of my quicker ones i think !!!

More sketch pad stuff  !!

" Its a blue giraffe "

Enjoyed this one !!

Its a good size canvas about 5 foot by six foot 

and i just lashed that paint on .

" Take your best shot "

Another one of my brother Davie 

poor fella runs now when he sees

me coming at him with a brush in my hand!!

The last to blink

My brother , not always a willing model!!

Like this , not sure why !!

Waiting

Tongue tied

The kind of face that makes you feel

he knows something you don't !!

Baby blue

My nephew , don't let the butter wouldn't melt 

expression fool you , he's a handfull !!!

July

Above us only sky

A painting from 2006
