Paul Mc's blog: Mackeral
http://paulmcsblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/mackeral.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. It's too easy to get used to good weather. This weekend we forgot we were in the U.K. followed a break in the clouds and went line fishing off a boat (Kraken) out of Lyme Regis. The sea was spectacular, a gently undulating glassy surface with a seamless blend between it and the pearly cloud backdrop. Quite a beautiful and surreal experience for an infrequent boater like me. Mackeral are a beautiful fish to catch (easy), eat (tasty) and to look at (stripey). More of My stuff.

Paul Mc's blog: West Bay
http://paulmcsblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/west-bay.html
Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Back in Dorset. Lovely place lovely weather. I promised myself I'd try to. Omething of the crazy cliffs in West Bay and Burton Bradstock. All this area was a river delta millions of years ago and the ebb and flow of the water has resulted in really striking strata. Add some uplifting (? And erosion and you get something very unique. It feels like the setting for the closing. Sequence of Planet Of The Apes. You blew it up! God damn you all to hell! But either way you get the idea.

Paul Mc's blog: Oil No2
http://paulmcsblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/oil-2-tomatoes-and-coffee.html
Sunday, March 6, 2011. Tomatoes and coffee bon't make a great snack but they serve well enough as a still life subject. I took a bit more care over this one. I really want to be able to paint in the 'studio' and in the evenings so I sorted out some daylight lighting and used a box to reduce background interference. I got some 20w (100w old skool) low-energy daylight bulbs from 'nulightuk' on eBay http:/ myworld.ebay.co.uk/nulightuk/. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom.

Paul Mc's blog: Beer Garden
http://paulmcsblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/beer-garden.html
Monday, August 9, 2010. Some success (by my standards) though. It was a wet Sunday but later in the day the sun came out and we retied to the beer garden of the Manor Hotel in West Bexington. Ordered cider for the first time since being a student, good choice, I suspect there's more to follow if the summer holds out. Anyway, this pic has some annoying shortcomings but I'm happy enough considering I was 2 pints in. Actually think it's a much nicer pic and captures the mood of the place more effectivly.

Sunday, June 20, 2010. Got pulled behind a tractor at Loseley today. Exhaust, dust and rubber; I love it! This is a digital colour-up of a pencil sketch I did at the time. Monday, June 14, 2010. It's sort of my fallback style I guess. A5 ish and about an hour or so to do each at the side of the road. The colour is pretty delicate and some has disappeared in the scanning, I'll have another go at them later. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom. View my complete profile.

Paul Mc's blog: July 2010
http://paulmcsblog.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. If anyone needs an image to put on a souvenir tea-towel or box of fudge then I'm yer' man. Here's a quickie of the fields behind the coastguard cottages at West Bexington. Later in the day I tried to recreate the feel of the place from memory. I like the way it's become more stylised but there's not much in it really. That said, the process of reimagining the scene was an interesting exercise in itself, worth doing if you get the chance. Sunday, July 4, 2010. More of My stuff.
