 'Midnight Stars' / Oil & Gold Metal Leaf on Canvas / Size: 6.7" x 11.7" | Hiya folks! So 'Midnight Stars has finally been varnished with a lovely beeswax satin finish which really suits the raw canvas base of the painting. It's also been flipped here (I think it looks great either way though how it is finally displayed will ultimately be up to the final collector). There were quite a few twists and turns in its creation and if you're interested in reading more regarding that journey check out its WIP on my blog at 'Midnight Stars WIP'! If you are more interested in the ideas and concept behind the piece, read more at 'Midnight Stars'. Thanks for the visit guys, I truly appreciate it! :D  |

Had to say adieu to this one today. I was surprisingly sadder than usual to see a piece go. I was quite pleased at successfully achieving just the exact glowing emerald hue I had envisioned for the snake and this was also my first attempt at trying a new crosshatching technique with the oil paint too.. Despite this I could not feel more blessed with whom she is on her way to right now!.. Thank you so much for making a home for two!.. :) More info on how this piece was created etc. at 'Original Sin Rebirth'  'Original Sin Rebirth' / Medium: Oil and Silver Metal Leaf on Primed Canvasboard / Size: 5.1 x 7.4 Inches SOLD
I've been testing out different colour palettes for my figurative work lately 'Twilight' being the latest. I quite like the prussian blue based hues in this one, especially how well it plays off the complementary raw umber in the background.

Haven't done a long pose practice session in a long time so it was really fantastic knuckling down to bring this pose through all the nuances that are generally left behind when doing one of my short gesture drawings... Attention was given to sensitive soft edges (with carefully chosen defined accents ). Without fiddling with the details of the hand in the foreground, the eye is free to be led up and down the figure.. the perspective enhanced by the barely rendered feet in the distance...  ‘ Avery #01 ’ / Cretacolor Nero Soft & Chinese White Pencil on Light Gray Archival (acid & Lignen Free) Paper / Size: 12 x 12 Inches SOLD
Ok folks, thanks so much for the visit!.. :D Another favourite of mine I have been holding on to, but the time has come!.. This piece highlights our social and 'anti' economic system which profits and inevitably encourages detrimental effects to our environment and health.  Oil on Canvasboard / Size: Miniature Triptych consisting of three 3.1 inch x 3.6 inch panels  Thanks for dropping by!.. :)
Ok, after more than 3 years from conception to completion, I was really, really reluctant to let this one go. However the time had to come sometime. I love all my pieces and I'd get nowhere just hording all of them. They were meant to be seen and I hope this one finds an uber loving home!..

Thanks for the visit!.. :) This piece evolved from a modeled study of the chair. Modeled studies focus attention on the feeling of weight of the subject, and I tried to develop this thought process further by getting the viewer to perceive the weight/manner of the departed subject, from foorprints left behind alone...  Black Oil Pastel on Newsprint/ Size: 14.5" x 11" Finally found an amazing printer that prints beautiful superior museum quality archival prints using the best printers, archival inks and heavyweight 100% cotton papers!..

Thanks for the visit!.. :)  Oil on Canvasboard / Size : 7.5 x 5.1 Inches SOLD Gustav Klimt has always been an inspiration with his mixture of realism, abstraction and symbolism, and is certainly one of my most favourite artists . Thus when I was conceiving an image that would best convey the concept I had in mind, I felt his well know ‘Death and Life’ painting was a perfect base , as any omissions (such as Death) or changes would be instantly recognized and enrich the concept of the piece. Read more at 'Life' where I have included images of this piece in progress, so do check it out!.. Thanks for the visit!.. :) |
