A Special memory from Bristol Balloon Fiesta

So my very first painting of 2016 is complete & it's one of my favourite memories of 2015
the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.
This painting is the view after the hot air balloons ascended and floated down the valley.
Magical scene

A new poppy painting

I do like painting poppies, I guess theres something about there colours & looseness
I like, I have painted them in watercolours, acrylics, pastels even palette knife

This one I did over 2/3 days any really enjoyed my self

Candy - Dog Portait Commission

I'd like to share with you a drawing with charcoal, graphite & sanguine chalk
of Candy, my dear friends dog that crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year.
I have just finished it and got the thumbs up
I usually say no to do pet portrait's, I can't cope with the pressure because I feel it's very hard to capture the soul & character of an animal - I painted my own dog many times, I never manage to satisfy myself..
Anyway I did enjoy enjoy drawing Candy

My Lady Of Autumn

This painting was 3 years in the making!

Acrylics on Board


Sometimes a painting just will not come!
You have an idea but it just wont work - Originally she had black hair but I quickly changed it as I wanted her to have rainbow autumn colour hair but that didnt work.



This year I have really enjoyed the autumn colours and this inspired my painting
She came together beautifully

King of The Coop

King of the Coop

Something just for me!
I have been working on a lot of commissions lately
I don't mind it pays for me to do my own projects.

I treated my self to this lovely large quality canvas and
wanted just to play with my palette knives, not worrying too much about failure.

Using thick sharp sweeps, I built up several layers, to achieve the highly textured effect, I was hoping for. I worked on his comb & eye a little with the brush.
