Thank you!

Thank you Su J!

It would be shocking if they weren't turning against him. It would take a Jonestown level of cult addiction to support him still (but some do, astonishingly).

Flower watercolour from 1987 (all from the same garden as now)

Another flower piece from 1987. I worked hard on flower paintings at that time, enjoying doing them but pleased to get sales to pay the bills! This and the last one posted are scanned from film photos of the paintings taken at the time.

My watercolour of irises in a blue jug with a shell from 1987 (sold)

Here's one of my old watercolours of irises and other flowers in my favourite blue-tinted glass jug. I must have forgotten to photograph the original before I framed it because there are reflections in the glass. Not too bad a photo though in spite of that.

Thank you! Lovely photograph👍

Busy planting up the pots and containers in the garden so I can paint from them in the summer sunshine. This oil was sold in 2022 and most years I prop up my easel here for some new work.

Thank you Didi!

I see now that the account has been suspended. Thank you to everyone including you who reported it.

All my own work! (I've been painting boats since childhood but I don't live near the seaside now)

I'd rather not use Instagram but I'm finding a fairly good response on there for life drawings with no labelling (nothing like the incredible general response on here though). I mostly only post discrete life drawings here (model facing away etc) but then I've got a lot of other work to display.

Frogface Farridge is failing fast.

This is just a life drawing. Bluesky insists on labelling such drawings though META specifically accepts nudity in art. I don't ever post sexual activity.

Irises will soon be flowering in the garden (my watercolour). I need to dig them over and reposition them when they've finished as they're a bit neglected.

Rainy watercolour, tall but small (ideal for hanging in a narrow place) - found a buyer ages ago. This is Trinity Lane, Cambridge, with part of Gonville and Caius College on the left.

Thank you!

Thank you George!

Painted in my garden in the summer 2021 and sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition

He looks a live wire.

Life drawing in charcoal from my year at Portsmouth Art College 1965-66. Models often have their shoes with them because art room floors are often filthy with charcoal dust etc.

One of my Portsmouth pre-Dip art college life drawings in charcoal from 60 years ago so I was 17. Brings back poignant memories. The tutor was John Bowstead who was great, very inspiring and good fun. His details are in this link artuk.org/discover/art...

I didn't recognise the name but having looked him up, yes, I've seen him in Seinfeld and you've got a point!

The more it scans the likelier it is that the product is slop.

He looks like someone trying to sell you double glazing when you've already got it.

I was also going to say that one is often sometimes taken aback by the reaction of people who aren't used to the idea of painting from the nude. They seem to imagine that there is something salacious about it whereas in fact there is nothing of the sort.

When you do a lot of life drawing and when the models are very used to the situation it all becomes part of everyday life with nothing unusual about it.
