C'est n'est pas les boites

These boots unfortunately were not worn by Jackson Pollock but I suppose they would be a similar colour after he had finished one of his famous 'Splash' paintings.

Created as a little bit of fun, acrylic paint on boot - No sorry, acylic paint on Boot Box canvas.

Cooling Towers - Ferrybridge

FerryBridge from High Melton

This is an A4 size study based on a view from High Melton, just north of Doncaster, looking out over Melton fields towards the Ferrybridge cooling towers in the Pontefract area.

The church spire on the right  is in the Picton area I believe.

 

I am hoping to turn this into a much larger painting for the Holmfirth Art Week exhibition which is later this year in July.

 

This is #46 in my series of 52 paintings, Acylic on  an A4 canvas panel.

Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar

This is a caricature of the famous Indian and Yorkshire cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

I painted this for a friend of mine who was over in the UK for 6 weeks from India and I knew he enjoyed cricket and Tendulkar was a hero of his.

I gave him this picture on his last day in the UK - hopefully of a nice reminder of his visit here.

Mme Monboddo

 

Madamme Monboddo

This is a true-to-life painting of Jean-Patrique Monboddo's wife - Magdalena. 

Not a lot is really known about Magdalena. She began her Parisian life as the artist's muse - but  their working relationship very soon developed into a love affair.

They finally married and lived their last years together in the shadow of 
the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, Paris.
 

This is an acrylic picture measuring 14" x 12" on canvas board, and is #42 of 52.

Nanny Lil

Nanny Lil

Allegedly, Nanny Lil lived at number 17b Coronation Street and was neihbours to Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell. Lilly was never seen on set as she was camera shy. As a devout Christian Lilly was ashamed of her gambling addiction so would stay indoors during filming to tend to her cat Bobby.

Paris Rouge - Le Metro

Le Sinage Rouge - Paris Metro

Paris Rouge is a theme that no doubt will run and run, this is painting #39, and as anyone who's been to Paris will know - Le Metro is wonderful for traversing the city at toute vitesse.
Voyours recall Les Parisienne and their illicit rendezvous underground on the Metro - each brief encounter creates their very own episode from a film noir (18 rated).

This is an acrylic picture measuring 14" x 8" on canvas board, and is #39 of 52.

femme avec robe rouge

La femme avec robe rouge

This painting (#38) was reproduced from a photograph I came across a couple of weeks ago whilst searching for objects that were French & Rouge, (a new theme I may develop further btw).
 She looks rather menacing 'la Madame' in this - with an" attendez que je vous rentrez chez vous "(wait till I get you home sort of look)  but I'm sure she's tres enchanting, posing in the mid afternoon sunshine
in Paris awaiting company on the terrace.

This is an acrylic picture measuring 12" x 8" on canvas board, and is #38 of 52.

More Lillies on t 'Cliffe

Attercliffe Water Lillies II

This is a slight variation on the previous painting (#36) with subtle hue changes due to the changing light conditions in the day.
Every moment of light is subtlety different - cooler colours in early morning becoming warmer
 as the day progresses.

This is an acrylic picture measuring 12" x 8" on canvas board, and is #37 of 52.

Lillies on t 'Cliffe

Attercliffe Water Lillies

I normally catch the train into Sheffield, however the other day I took the tram
from Meadowhall to Sheffield.

It's not exactly a picturesque route, but very interesting nevertheless.
The tram runs alongside the old industrial quarter for a length, taking in the railway and the Sheffield and Rotherham canal.

As the the tram approached Attercliffe I spotted these water lillies erupting colour out of the
gloomy, murky canal below.

I can't but help noticing these now everytime I pass, everytime different with the varying light conditions.

The Elmanton Hotel

The Elmanton - Skegness, Lincolnshire

This lovely B&B sits on Scarborough Avenue in sunny Skegness.

We usually stay here on our visits to this locale and we are always looked after really, really well by our hosts.

The next time we visit I will give them a print of this, they have a few "contemporary" paintings inside and this should sit well with those.

This is an acrylic picture measuring 12" x 10" on canvas board, and is #35 of 52.

One a week for a year (well almost) !
