16 Sep Well it’s about time
I finally had a bit of time to get back to the painting I had started last week. I had left it at an awkward teenage stage. It was very plodding and ...
09 Sep Phosphorescence
I started a new painting yesterday. I was having a lot of fun with the colours. Unfortunately I had to leave it in the height of ugliness, but I have high hopes that it has good bones and it's headed somewhere good. I'll keep you...
07 Sep Progress?
This is one I was working on maybe a month or so ago. I liked bits but it wasn't coming together like I hoped. On the actual beach on Thormanby Island there was so much detail in the water trails and seaweed and sand but overall there...
