52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Jan 11, 2015 21:26:22 GMT 1, Thanks for the comments on my latest painting. Just to clarify these are all digitally painted at the moment and will be translated to canvas at some stage, I am unsure at present if all paintings will be translated to canvas or some will remain in digital form. I think perhaps the most popular pieces I'll paint on canvas. My recent painting 'Puddles' show how my digital paintings translate to canvas paintings without any main difference in the image as I use the same process to paint digitally, canvas of street work.

52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Feb 1, 2015 20:17:28 GMT 1, today's epic 20.35 mile run very early, very very cold and gale force winds, snow and some ice, rain all thrown in together for a tough, challenging 4 hour early morning run! So here's my painting from today, 'Sparkle'

So my latest long run, a mere 10 miles, as I am tapering my training still, ready for Tokyo Marathon this coming sunday 22nd! Super excited about going back to Japan, and seeing the city that's inspired so much of my work for more inspiration and exploration!

52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Apr 6, 2015 10:35:49 GMT 1, 'April 5th - 'Explosion' - So here's my latest painting for my running series, all for charity! Not achieved quite the mileage I wanted last week, but still training strong and my third marathon this year is in 3 weeks, so all is going to plan. Anyway this beautiful spring sunrise inspired me to paint this. I usually focus on roads, traffic or urban seems and rarely pure traditional landscape painting scenes, but this looked stunning, so i decided to paint this. All these are pure freehand paintings, and not painted over photo's, photo montage or image manipulation. I view these as life drawing almost, honing visualising skills and pure drawing, my true passion!

52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Apr 15, 2015 10:45:42 GMT 1, I have been a bit slow on updating this thread, but here is my latest painting based n my latest run and in fact my third marathon this year!
It was a tough trail marathon over some really tricky surfaces in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, 5 hours 40 mins tough running, great event though!
three medals so far...

My 5th marathon of the year! Next up is Snowdonia mountain marathon June 20th

12 Marathons challenge! So alongside my street work, shows and events, canvas paintings and illustrations I am currently in the midst of my year long running marathons challenge, where i am taking on 12 marathons / ultra marathons in order to raise money and awareness for a very special and small charity that works hands on, with rescued orangutans with International Animal Rescue in Kalimantan, Indonesia. OVAID ( Orangutan Veterinary Aid - Nigel and Sarah ) volunteer huge chunks of their year to travel to Indonesia and give Veterinary aid and medical care to the rescued Orangutans that have been left vulnerable from the constant and extensive deforestation. For small charities and organisations such as this, they desperately need funds, and the money has a tangible and real effect on the work they do, and not get swallowed up in a huge pot and not used directly to help. To highlight the idea of changing landscapes f the Orangutan i am running 12 marathons this year 1 every month and creating art based on the changing landscapes I see in my runs through the season,s hopefully culminating with a gallery show at the end of the year or early 2016 where i'll exhibit some of the paintings from the year! I have completed 5 marathons so far, with my next tough trail / mountain Marathon on June 20th in Snowdonia, Wales! I have a Virgin Money giving donation page which you can donate money to OVAID directly ( nb: this does NOT fund my marathon trips and costs etc ) So any donations would be very gratefully received!

52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Hubble Bubble on Jun 5, 2015 10:48:30 GMT 1, Great work, Dan and great running. I'll drop by the sponsorship page. Loved that shot of the Brecon Beaconsโฆ I did the Welsh 3000's a few years ago (walking, not running). I've done loads of marathons. Got down to 3:22 in Amsterdam (nice and flat then switched over to Ironman Triathlon where the marathon comes after a 2.5 mile swim and a 112 mile bike ride. Still managed sub 4 on those runs! Not run in a year or so and spending most of my time on the bike - off to South Wales this weekend for a 250km ride around the mountains.
Followed by beers!

I am Quite used to swimming though have done plenty 2hr / 5km swims in recent years, next year I will be focusing on ultra marathons, eventually want to do a 100 miler and maybe Comrades in SA, all good fun and gives me plenty of thinking time to get ideas for my art!

52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Jun 22, 2015 8:27:22 GMT 1, Thanks Pingoo, might do something like that next year, or year after, have to build up endurance for something like that!
anyway, just completed marathon 6 in Coed Y Brenin, Forest park in Wales, and was that tough!!! Brutal is the word, 6;07 which is pretty slow, but a completion is a completion, also did SOuthend Half Marathon last weekend, which in hindsight might have been overkill...so 6 full marathons and one half marathon so far this year, i am taking off July as have so many painting events, Meeting Of Styles, Latitude Festival and then Upfest!
