Publication in Cricket magazine this month called Nasreddin Hoca

This image was worked up entirely digitally from sketch to final artwork. I think I'd like to find a slightly better compromise though, where the line drawing is in ink and the colour is added later digitally. That way I don't lose too much of the scratchy spontaneous line

Second prize in Mezzano Art competition

Managed to get a second prize yesterday, in a competition which I found very enjoyable. I had 8 hours to complete a piece of work that represented Mezzano (near Ravenna). So I was out in the square with my easel and paints with the clock ticking. Was good to have that kind of deadline not to much time to stand back and think a lot more instinctive. Chose the Church as it was the  in the centre and there was a lot of movement people cars etc, my kind of thing.

The Photo of the painting isn't too good as I had to use a little Pentax instamatic with flash (My Nikon is broken!)

Winner of the Longastrino art competition

The Longastrino art competition's subject was the delta Del Po (river) it's traditions and people. So I chose to do the Cervia Salt farm. An evening with movement and rich colours.
