Posted on March 25, 2013 by Guthlac

Start of a new day and whilst surveying my palatial gardens I noticed that the icicle hanging from my conservatory had changed over night. I’m not sure what conclusions to draw from this other than to say….well as I look … Continue reading →

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Guthlac

Just sitting here sketching away…getting a hint of the feeling of the subject I’m sketching….not really trying that hard to make it anything special. Just a hint. Simon Marchini http://www.simonmarchini.co.uk

There are some days when you just have to bow down to the raw power of nature

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Guthlac

I know I’m a whinging old fart about the weather but the truth is it has really not effected me that much. Ok I wasn’t able to get to London today – well the galleries will be there next weekend … Continue reading →

Phew… what a difference a day makes

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Guthlac

Perhaps enough isn’t enough

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Guthlac

Clearly I couldn’t leave Tron Legacy alone so I’ve started a full blown digital painting of Olivia Wilde. This is the first iteration of the painting – there is a lot more work to be done and really all that … Continue reading →
