Rider in the storm

I’ve intended for some time to paint Niggle as he rides through the storm to find a doctor for his neighbour, it has always been a large oil painting in my head, but before I start I thought I should try and get my ideas together on the computer

For those that are yet to read the book, shame on you it’s worth a read…

Niggle would approve.

I started sketching a tree for the theme of the month over on John Howe’s website, it was supposed to be a quick simple sketch, then I got too the branches. The good intentions of a quick doodle to get in the right frame of mind went out the window and I started to become a little obsessive over the branches, I ended up doodling away at each little branch ignoring pretty much everything else. However, I get the feeling I need to obsess over the branches of the next tree just a little more maybe I’ll hide in a corner, turn off my phone, and just release that inner Niggle that resides somewhere in all of us – or maybe he just exists in my confused little brain

Oh, if you don’t know who Niggle is I’m shocked and horrified but it can easily be remedied …
