Hi there, so this would be the first of a series I'll be painting with a magnifying glass. Called 'The Testy Text' (you probably get what I mean from the magnified text), it sets the tone for the next paintings in the series.. 'The Testy Text' Alla Prima ACEO Medium: Oil on Linenboard Size: 3.5 x 2.5 Inches SOLD Painted from life alla prima, a very minimalist pallet was used of Cad Yellow & Red, Phthalo Blue, Paynes Gray & of course Titanium White.
For the lettering I used a Sgraffito technique with a sharp black colour pencil.. Everything else was painted with two (000) rounds... Thanks for the visit!.. :)

Hi there, I went a digging today among some of my old travel pics and found one I took of this world heritage treasure.. Like many, Egyptology has always intrigued me and painting the beauty of these historic monuments is completely captivating.. 'Sphinx' ACEO Medium: Watercolour on Watercolour Paper Size: 3.5 x 2.5 Inches SOLD This is actually my second attempt at this image, taking lessons learnt from the first to create this little watercolour.. :)
Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hi there!... This detailed lil' conceptual piece is now on Daily Paintworks!.. :D Multiple layers of thin translucent hue were applied, drying between layers, to create this turquoise gem of crystal clear sea water realism, melded with abstractions of pure white refracted reflections of light.... 'Reflections' ACEO

Thanks for the visit!.. :) Just put up this piece on 'Daily Paintworks'!.. One of my rarer conceptual ACEO's, this particular piece was painted on copper mounted on primed linenboard. 'Timeless Chaos' ACEO Medium: Oil on Copper Mounted on Primed Thin Linen on Thin Wood Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches PERSONAL COLLECTION Deriving inspiration from philosophical & scientific theories of time and space,this piece seeks to render and merge both dynamical systems theory & relativity with zen philosophy... Featured is a classic Ford Model T, one of many reoccurring subjects used in my conceptual work.. Thanks for the Visit!.. :) Hiya guys! This month is the beginning of my much anticipated 'Daily Paintworks' journey! Thought I'd introduce myself to the amazingly talented 'Daily Paintworks' community with this lil' ACEO I did about a week back. I'll be giving each piece at least a week to dry before giving them a layer of retouch varnish for protection and adding them for sale on the site.. 'Black Olives' Alla Prima ACEO Oil on Primed Linenboard Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches SOLD I just love adding black olives to my dishes and really had fun painting them from life here!.. :)
