News and snaps from my studio. Sometimes I write about new pieces that I’m working on that are not released yet. If I think of a tip or piece of advice that will help you look after your painting I’ll often share it here. If there’s something specific you want to find, there is a search box down below.
I love Kingfishers and they are a favourite painting subject of mine. This one is big at about 30” square, and very brightly coloured with shocking pink and teal blues. Im exploring acrylic painting right now, using brushes, fingertips and paint pens to add details and textures and pushing the colour to create work with a high visual impact. Shocking pink and orange work really well against the bright teal and orange of the bird, I find these colours truly heartwarming!
Experience the majesty of a heron in flight.
As part of a new series inspired by birds in flight, I will be offering a few paintings of herons for sale in the upcoming year. The largest piece in the collection is an original oil painting titled "Positive Rate," which measures 100 x 120 cm. To add texture and intricate details, I used a palette knife in the creation of this stunning piece in a fresh palette of dark teal and sea green.
