Went for a much looser technique in this the 2nd of this 3 part series. Whereas the 1st was painted with a size 4 flat synthetic brush, this piece was painted completely with a relatively large Size 9 flat hog bristle. No preliminary underpainting or drawing was done either, rather I started blocking in with colour straight away on just a toned background, placing each block of colour as accurately as possible straight away and thus building the whole painting in this straightforward manner alone.  Glass Reflections 2 / Oil on Linenboard / Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches

Loved the light reflections that this wine glass created on my olive green wall and decided to design the composition so as to have an almost abstract feel to it.  Oil on Thin Linenboard / Size: 2.5" x 3.5"  Painted alla prima and measuring just 2.5" x 3.5", this piece would make an ideal dinner table display piece :)
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
Medium: Oil on Primed Linen Mounted on Thin Wood Size: 2.5 Inches x 3.5 Inches PRIVATE COLLECTION  Hi!,.. Another little alla prima of an olive having fun,.. or not.. 'Forked Olive' Medium: Oil on Linen board Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches SOLD Used a small cake fork for this, so as to maintain a minimalist composition while keeping it balanced with the lone olive!.. Painted alla prima as always from life!.. :) Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hi there, this be the painting of the day!.. :D  'Mini Jack' Medium: Oil on Linen board Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches  This little toy Mini Cooper key chain, with a 'Union Jack' on its roof, was painted alla prima from life with a small flat synthetic brush.. See ya!.. :) 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 PRIVATE 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!.. :) Felix the dog has one raw egg a day with his dinner and so I thought I'd capture its (the eggs) last moments here in this piece...  'Egg Yolk' Alla Prima ACEO Oil on Primed Linenboard Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches SOLD Painted from life, eggy insides dry fast so it had to be speedy work on this one!.. :) 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!.. :) Thank you for the visit guys!.. :) |
