So much work, in and out of the studio, since my last post almost a year ago! I won't dwell on how terrible I am at this social Media malarky, you all know how bad I am ;) So I'll just carry on and pretend I was here only yesterday.
So where am I?
It used to bother me that other artists had a clear voice; that they produced work in a consistent style and genre immediately identifiable as their own. Those days are gone. I've now accepted that my art personna is never going to be like that. And finally I'm OK with it.
Currently I'm working in 3 different ways. And I'm in Love with each one equally depending on what the day brings:
I love the collaboration with clients when working on portrait commissions inspired by their photos:
Natural still life and landscape, observed wherever I happen to be, continues to fascinate. I've always had a thing about rooms with a view, and windowsills are the focus of some recent work using what I call 'happy colours':
And then the Mixed Media work that evolves using many layers of different paint, ink, pastel, crayon, graphite, pencil, charcoal and resin has me more excited than ever:
