Artist in an office, escaping to here from time to time. Posting my own art and art that catches my eye. Home is England with family & dog but looking outwards - it's a bit foggy :) No AI use in, and of my art or words. Redmancreative.co.uk
Eye - today’s repost July prompt (19th July). Good morning, I hope you’re enjoying a peaceful Sunday. #artrepostjuly #pastels #kleinekunstklasse
I hope you’re not too ‘melancholy’ today but it is today’s prompt for repost July. I think I drew this in response to a #portraitchallenge prompt. #artrepostjuly #pastels #kleinekunstklasse
Already the 16th and today’s prompt for repost July is ’Joy’ here’s a happy pig. #artrepostjuly #pastels #kleinekunstklasse
Today’s prompt for repost July is ’Green’ here’s a nighttime game at Anfield Stadium. #artrepostjuly #pastels #kleinekunstklasse #Anfield
Today’s prompt ’Bone’ for repost July reminds me of this little sketch. The moral of the story being…don’t wait for the perfect wave 😎 #artrepostjuly #pastels #kleinekunstklasse
The 13th and today’s repost July prompt is ‘Colourful’ this is my take on a Cornwall lighthouse. #artrepostjuly #pastels #kleinekunstklasse
So, for today the 11th the theme for repost July is ‘below’, this is a nod to thinking before you’selfie’. Something lighthearted from my archive 😎 #artrepostjuly #softpastels #kleinekunstklasse
Carl O'Kelleher @redmancreative.bsky.social 'Above' is today's theme for repost July, this is a watercolour painting my archive. I had just bought a long haired 'sword' type brush and this subject lent itself to it perfectly. #artrepostjuly #watercolour #kleinekunstklasse
News - I'm pleased to say I have had a painting accepted into this year's Williamson Open 2026. On show 24 July to 10 October. This gallery is on the edge of leafy Oxton Village with it's vibrant art community. Great art and a nice cafe (a selection of Georgia O'Keeffe prints right now).
I see that Orange is the theme for are repost July, this is the most orangey thing in my archive 😎 #artrepostjuly #softpastels #kleinekunstklasse
Just doodling aimlessly to try out new oil pastels. I’m not sure what was on my mind 😎 #climatechange
This is more great work from LBD. Reminds me of a thought I put down on paper early on. It seems more are getting the message, still work to do though…
An image I’ve shared elsewhere based on thoughts around Hockney and Rothko, prompted by the Reflecting Pool fiasco. Masking tape and colour blocks. Reflecting Pool!
Drew this after the result. I’m starting to calm down though 😅 (about brexit that is, still applies given where we are.
It #worldoceanday so a dabble with some ew Caran d’Dache crayons. I know there’s lots of great and watery art out there, a good opportunity to share some.
As the weekend threatens to slip away, here’s a painting I made thinking about walking from the outdoors into the steel and glass forests of commerce. #WorkLifeBalance #Weekend #Watercolour
It’s been a while so I’m sharing some flowers. It’s always good to see flowery art if yours are blooming 😎 This is from a few years ago but came upon it looking for something else. #Flowers #kleineKunstklasse
There are local elections in the UK today, apropos of nothing, unwelcome object spotted on the horizon! #motives
Seeing a bright full moon at 4am might once have marked a big night out. Nowadays it means fighting the need to nap around 4pm! It was quite nice though so here’s a phone camera picture (doesn’t quite do it justice) but hey. #Moon
It was day three of the UK coronavirus lockdown, ventilators ordered from Dyson (whatever happened to them), sadly deaths rising to 100 per day. 26 March 2020 and the #RADailyDoodle caught my eye for the 1st time. My sketchy (very) restart of regular drawing began.
Lola isn’t impressed with the dinosaur interpretation in the local woods (based on footprints found in 1838 in this rock - named from the Greek words, CHIR for hand, and THERIUM for beast i.e. CHEIROTHERIUM).
Also… Agreed - orange IS a cheery colour, so please do post anything orange from your gallery if you see this...
I noticed one of my son’s friends had balanced a pear in our ‘glug glug’ jug! Made for an interesting subject, any unusual combinations catching your attention out there? #KlasseKunst #kleineKunstKlasse #Pastel #Sketching
As it #StPatricksDay Ireland came close this year to a great French team. #Rugby
If you see this, post an eye (This made me delve back, I knew there was one)
It's a frantic world out there, I hope Monday is treating you well. Here's something of mine that comes to mind: Refuge The news isn't the full story, remember the good things that continue to happen :) #klasseKunst #Refuge #Watercolour
