#1070 Wind up Cauldron

To get in the festive spirit I dug out my wind up cauldron to paint this Halloween.

#1069 Painting of a Lino Cut Print

This Lino print is from 1996, ish. One of a series of carnival figures I made, I didn't make many prints, too long a process, but I like doing it every now and again.

#1067 Frogs Eye

Or, to be more hallowe'e-nish, '..eye of frog'

#1067 Hibiscus Pattern

Now that 'is' a pattern for a fold out chair!

#1066 Wall behind the shelf

We have spent our day off clearing the spare room. This little 'landscape' behind a shelf that has been up for at least two repaints. Not by us I hasten to add. A cadmium yellow room is fun to have, but not by choice!

#1065 Underpants

Well, there is less than a month of this years daily paintings, my painting year starts on the 24th of November, and I don't think I've painted my underpants yet, well I have now. Don't worry they are clean.

#1064 Turks Cap Squash

A further detail of the wonderful Turks Cap squash. 

#1063 Turks Cap Squash

I do like a decorative gourd or squash, even better when you can eat them too!

#1062 jumper

I love it when it gets a bit colder and you can wear a jumper.

#1061 Star

This is another modified jumper, this hot water bottle cover has stars stitched over it.

#1060 Crocheted Circles

These are sewn onto an old jumper and turned onto a hot water bottle, not by me, by Debbie, I just paint stuff!

#1059 Expandable Foam Thing

This is actually from an ex students painting, it fell off while I was moving a load of our store of paintings sorry Adam....

#1058 more anniversary cake

Sadly no more paintings of this cake, I have eaten it!

#1058 Ruby Wedding Anniversary Cake

I brought a slice of Mum and Dads anniversary cake back with me yesterday and before it gets eaten I painted it, very good cake it was too!

#1055 Socket Set box

I arrived back from Norfolk this evening after a surprise visit to see my folks for their Ruby wedding anniversary. My Dad always likes to send me back with things. This time I had 'weighing the boot down' was my Grandad's wonderful old tool box with lots of his tools in. I liked this rusty patch on a socket set but there will be more paintings of the tools I can feel it.

#1054 Stained Glass Bowl

I wanted to paint something red today to celebrate my Mum and Dads 40th wedding anniversary! There is a little bit of ruby red on this.

1053 Mr Tickle toy

Like all good Uncles when they visit their nephews there are gifts to be given, this little soft Mr Tickle was for my littlest nephew Zachary, who likes a good tickle... Who doesn't!

#1052 Pigs Bottom

I think this ceramic pig was my sisters when she had a slight obsession with them. It now resides in mums craft room where we sleep when we stay over. It was pointing it's curly tail at me this morning when I opened the curtains. So, I duly painted it.

#1052 Shoe

here you can see the toe of one of debbies shoes, with a spectacular collection of buttons on it!

#1051 Taco

Mmmm taco's for tea tonight.

1050 Takeaway Drinks Holder

You know the things, they put your fizzy drinks in them at the drivethrough and if your lucky enough to get them home without spilling it while going over speedbumps it falls apart just as you get in the house and yep 7up all over the floor.

#1049 Roast Beef

Sunday dinner leftovers! Sorry veggie and pescetarians!

1048 F hole

This time from my bass guitar.

#1047 Chocolate Cake

I don't make many chocolate cakes, but when I do they are chocolatey!

#1046 Sweetcorn

Went for a drive and walk to a roman villa today, and bought sweetcorn from a farm shop on the way home, great day off was had by all.

#1045 iPod

RIP Steve Jobs and ta for coming up with the iPod, everything else is good too but the iPod has actually changed my life a little. Im hoping the iPad does a similar thing for next years daily pictures ;) We will gloss over the controversial working conditions in the Chinese factories for today....

#1044 Metal Bollocks Sign

We've had this since we were at art school, I think our housemate Merlin made it and passed it on when he left. Just seemed right today.

#1043 oak grain

Not just any old oak grain this is from the half built neck of a cigar box guitar I'm making. I haven't actually done anything on it today but I am so tired I needed a nice easy close up to do today!

#1043 Car Battery Charger

Yep this is as close as I have come to missing a painting! Battery went flat stuck in middle of nowhere, man came got us going again, phew I am now going to charge the battery. Then brandy.

#1042 F-Hole

From Debbie's mandolin, I might do one of my f-holes tomorrow night.
