The challenge from 52Frames this week is Pattern with an extra challenge of Pattern in Nature. I liked this as a challenge and had thought I might use photos of some stones I had found on the beach in Orkney. When I came to look at them though I felt they would...
This week's challenge is What Is It? At first I was truly uninspired and then I had a thought and completed my image all in one go this afternoon. It went really quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it, which is great as I spent the first half of the week having no...
The challenge for 52Frames this week is Shoot from Above (https://52frames.com). I have been doing quite a lot of online jigsaws recently and really enjoy the aerial landscapes. I thought I would look for something on line. It is the first time I have used...
52Frames this week has set the challenge of creating a Triangular Composition. I have used a picture of my cat on the kitchen windowsill but flipped it so it reads better. I was really pleased with the original drawing and was a bit surprised by how cat like I...

Eventually finished this image and here is the final for Flat Lay. I cut out a stencil and then sprayed paint with a toothbrush. I have aslo put some metallic paint over so some are shiny. They are painted onto a technical document of my dads' with some details...
The challenge from 52Frames for the first week in May is Flat Lay. I knew what I wanted to do for this and used some more of my dad's spanners to create an image. I then drew them out and planned to cut out the shapes and create stencils. I hoped to stencil them onto...
This weeks 52Frames challenge is Leading Lines. I wanted to use a reference picture from Orkney that I took several years ago. I did not intend to do this in oil pastel, but then I thought I could try out a technique I had seen in a book I am looking at, of...
