A painting of a man's ass, and his orange sweater

Orange Sweater. 16x12. Oil on linen. With much thanks to @2fingersinabox.bsky.social for the inspiration

Painting of two men almost kissing

Two colour practice. Blue/orange only (+white). Not bad for 30 mins. Some things need fixing, but that is for the second attempt

A sketch of two men. One reclines on a divan "paint me like one of your French ladies" style, back to us. The other faces him, a painter at his easel

More idle doodling as I kill time. Somewhere between scribbles and something worth finishing. should be a painting instead. There is an idea here, I think.

A pencil sketch of a seated man seen between the gap of two standing people. He is nude save for a jockstrap. He looks directly at the viewer

On the train to visit family. Long hours of nothing but a sketchbook and music to keep me company. Time to explore ideas

Beautiful. May I paint from one of these?

A painting of a naked man, relaxing in a wooden chair. He appears to be on stage, with hints of an audience in the background

I was supposed to be doing other things. But here we are. This feels like it could be a larger piece at some point.

A painting in progress. On the left a man sits on the floor, crumpled against the wall. Perhaps distraught? Contemplative? Light comes in from behind but he is turned away. On the right a corridor extends at an angle. another person is seen there, in partial via, perhaps leaving

Perhaps this would be of interest. A much larger composition that I'm slowly picking away at. "Another Theseus. Today. Again". I've been enjoying building up the layers of the 'flat' walls and exploring visual slight of hand.

This is what I get up to when not madly sketching models

I ponder whether I should share the process and stages of larger works? I wonder how that would land here

A painting of a naked man standing contra posto

WIP to get my brushes moving before other activities demand my attention. I'll definitely return to this as I continue refining the light

A shirtless man wearing green hip waders and a giant hat of a fake dead animal with Xs for eyes. The man is flexing like a string man

It had to be done! Thank you for the reference!

A painting of a naked man sitting with his back to us on a bench. He is in a locker room.

A little more done on this one. Still more to go. 9x9

These are giving me ideas for paintings. Beautiful photos

A painting of a man reclining in a bathtub.

A couple hours of paint-based meditation. Trying something different with today's procrastination. With much thanks to @planting-man.bsky.social, and his very inspiring Patreon. Oil on linen, as usual. 9x16.

Thank you!

A painting of a man reclining

Let's add this here as well. Finishing up a sketch from a session with @kramerevans.bsky.social in December

A painting of a dick, with a large padlock piercing

Finishing up that special request from the fall. Still some things to do, but largely it just needs to dry.

A nude man sits with his back to the viewer. He is in a locker room, turning his head to look at the viewer

Another little WIP coming along. 9x9, oil on linen

A square painting of a nude man, sitting spread eagled on the kitchen floor. His back is up against the counters and he faces us directly

Feeling exhausted. It's that time of year I suppose. Making time for a little painting at least

A painting of a nude man reclining, and covering his face with one arm.

Spent some much needed time in the studio today, cleaning up a sketch from a recent life painting session with @kramerevans.bsky.social

Oil on linen

A painting of a nude dark skinned man , posing in shadow

Paint experiments this morning. Chromatic shadows, messing around with shapes. Being a bit more abstract. Etcetc

A rough painting of a penis with a Prince albert piercing. The piercing is a large round padlock.

I don't normally do special requests, but here we are. "portrait" practice I suppose. Work in progress. An interesting challenge, pushing me to really think about surfaces, shapes and reflections.

Probably a few weeks out from being finished. For now it rests while i do a bit of travel

A bearded man in a light purple shirt reclines in a green chair.

WIP. Distraction. Procrastination. All the above

A painting of a nude man, reclining against furniture.

Let's post this here. As I think about what to write here, the phrase "A backlog of promises" comes to mind. I'll squirrel that away to title a painting at some point.

A quick sketch from Sunday, to motivate me to dig into the paintings I promised to make.

A painting of a nearly nude man laying on a green couch. His arms are tattooed, and he is reading a book which rests on the floor

Pretty pleased with this one. 50x76cm. Oil on panel.

A painting of a naked man licking the toes of another man

Getting my brain back together. Small progress on the things I'm supposed to be doing. Bigger progress on the distractions.

such as this one. Oil on aluminum, 6x6"

Really like the result of painting on metal. Gives it a liveliness that non-reflective surfaces just don't have.

Painting of a man reclining on a bed, facing left. He is partially undressed with dick out

Still struggling with brain worms. But at least I got some painting in, even if not what I had planned for.

A sketch of an older man in a suit, with a white beard and smoking a pipe. His pants are open and dick out

Struggling with motivation. But best way for me to create motivation is just to start painting small things. Tomorrow I'll do better

Entirely possible, though so far pretty quiet

Not yet. Though it is on my to-do list.
