« Sun is Shining » is a wrap
« Sun is Shining » 65x50cm oils on linen finished. It will be displayed at Salon d’Art Animalier (29/2-8/3) at Saint-Pierre-Les-Nemours. Named by my daughter who requested this painting featuring our beloved Portugese Water Dog, Mountainehead’s Marlowe.
I felt like a change up…. to do something different with my new easel (which is a dream and now I can paint with full confidence that it will not crash down like my old trusty tripod easel – handy but can’t support the bigger canvases !).
My daughter wanted another portrait ….2 years on from my first one I painting of her. This time with our Portuguese Water Dog, Mountainhead’s Marlowe. This was something that I pulled together based on an idea I had in my head and taking a series of photos last summer at the stables under the beautiful summer sun in Barbizon.
« Sun is Shining » is a 65x50cm oils on linen painting…named by my daughter. It will be displayed at Salon d’Art Animalier (29/2-8/3) at Saint-Pierre-Les-Nemours.
The full painting is presented on my home page / gallery page.
Commission finished: off to US
Commissioned oil painting finished and soon ready for shipping to its new home in the US.
This is a large format 100x80cm oils on linen portrait / commissioned painting just finished for a US client. Loved painting the Scottish landscape and wild clouds. This is a snip-it of the original painting. It was a bit of a challenge to get the photo of the painting to capture fully the colors and the contrasting lights / darks. A full view of the painting can be found on my website under "Gallery/ Fresh off the easel".

Feb 2018 New portrait painting finished, "Generation Z "
For an early winter painting I decided to branch out. This is an extract of the finished painting that is currently drying in the Atelier. I call this “Generation Z”. Generation Z comes under different names that describes the first generation to have Internet technology readily available at a young age... not to mention earphones constantly lodged in their ears, which you will see in the final full size painting to be posted on my website in a couple of days. It is my first portrait, probably of many to come, of my daughter.
