I was approached to do my first painting job of 2 rooms. The colours' chosen by the client are wonderful, much better than the previous maroon and pink. I'm proud of what I was able to do for them. Are you in need of a painting job done? Think I might be worth a try? Get in touch via dm Ax

Devils Tower National Monument is a striking igneous rock butte in northeastern Wyoming. Rising 867 feet from its base, it was proclaimed the first U.S. national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The landmark is profoundly sacred to Northern Plains Indian tribes

All the beauty in my favourite place. A very high tide last night flooded the path. I’ve seen it submerge the whole marsh before.
The path underwater, stretching an arm across its bed.

En Plein Air 30 - 'View From Morpeth Street' - check andycropper.art/paintings Not sure how I feel about this painting. Was a bit of a cooler, chillier one, as I sat looking at this characterful gate, with the lights of the apartment blocks behind. An interesting contrast of the old with the new.

one of the things I love about watching others make art is the physical aspect of mental planning; the hand movements practicing a stroke, making invisible marks & measurements, before deciding what goes next. I do it too, but not everyone does. not sure if it's learned or automatic, maybe both.

Record Marples Tools. That demolition notice has been there a few years now, often wondered if they're just waiting for nature to take its course..

"self (more reasons than I have fingers)", graphite on paper, 10x10", 2026 - $400(Cdn). #art
A pencil drawing self portrait. I am facing the viewer with my hands in front of my face, the thumb and forefinger of my right hand are counting off fingers on my left hand. I'm wearing a black baseball cap. It's a simple interior scene with a framed print over my right shoulder & a door in a hallway behind me.

En Plein Air 24 - 'That Night' check andycropper.art/paintings A difficult night. I've wanted to paint Loxley Works on Kiln Street for a time and thought I'd give it a go. I wish I hadn't. This painting feels like it's more about what happened outside of the painting rather than what was in it.
