Having managed 51 of last years 52Frames I feel I need to maintain that momentum. I think I completed more drawing, painting etc than I have done since leaving college. So, I started this blog in January and never got to post it. I need to update it and put it...
The challenge this week is Redo. I chose the image I had done for Chaos for a couple of reasons. I enjoyed the process but was not happy with the end result. The oil pastel and Indian Ink etching is something I have wanted to experiment with. It was not a time...
Chaos is the challenge this week for 52Frames. I took some quite nice photos of fallen leaves; autumn chaos. Then, I was sitting in last night and there were fireworks everywhere. It seemed a shame to miss such an opportunity! This seemed an ideal opportunity...
52Frames set a challenge of night photography this week. This gave me a chance to use another photo reference I have had sitting around. A year or so ago I took some photos, with the ipad, of my neighbours house. The full moon and the house were behind the...

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 for 52Frames this week is to show emotion in your image. I looked at ways of displaying emotion; colour is important and in portraits you are advised to concentrate on the eyes. A lot of images showing emotion seemed to concentrate on sadness or...
The challenge set for 52Frames this week is An Activity. I had a couple of choices for reference, but love this picture I took in Procida, Italy. The little boys were sitting in the sun fishing. We were quite a long way above them. The photo has been cropped...
