Work In Progress - Lanyon Quoit.

Another work in progress, this time going inland up to Lanyon Quoit, the famous Cornish Quoit on the road from Madron to Morvah. Above is the first sketch on A3 paper, and the following photos are the process of reproducing it onto canvas with Spray Paint, acrylic paint and Posca Pen.

Again, still some more work to be done, i'll keep you posted on it's progress!

Work in Progress - Lands End Bridge.

Just started work on some new paintings which i'm a little bit excited about! So throughout the whole series of paintings that i'm doing, i will be documenting their progress as they move along to completion. This first one is of a rickety old rope bridge that goes over the sea and cliffs down at Lands End. i've been working on the paintings with Spray Paint, acrylic and Posca Pens. Not finished yet, but there will be more photos as it progresses!

Private Commission.

I was recently asked to do a private commission for someone, which was to be a present for their partners birthday. They specifically asked for a painting of Godrevy Lighthouse, and if possible, St. Ives Bay too. I managed to squeeze both of these landmarks into the design for the final piece, with a bit of creative license! Here's a series of photos showing it's development.

Half Price Painting Sale!

I've been trying to sort my studio recently, and trying to clear it out into some fit state to work in. Now you can call it a Spring Clean, but i'm now selling some of my old paintings off at half price to make some space! I've got a gallery of the available paintings up on my Facebook Fan Page, so feel free to have a look. I've sold a few already, and there's a few more that people are interested in. One of them may be winging it's way to Canada, which will probably cost more to send than it will to buy the painting! Once the studio is clear of clutter, i'm just gonna make some more paintings and make more of a mess!

Getting Married In New York!

Not me! I'm not getting married! I did this piece of work for my friends Sue and Phil from Derby, who are getting married in New York in May! Lucky buggers really, but i can't make it to the ceremony so i did them this for their wedding invitation. They're having a party back in Derby in June, so i'm going to that. I used to go to Uni there, and used to live with Sue who was on my Fine Art degree too! Really enjoyed doing this, and a bit of a departure for me too. Made with spray paint, acrylic paint and Posca pen on A3 paper.

Take Me Away From The Wind And The Rain.

Finally got this painting finished the other week, it had been sitting in the studio nearly finished for a while! Got it finished in time to put into Newlyn Gallery's Art Sale For Haiti exhibition.

I think the sale raised about £8000 in total, which all went to help the people of Haiti.

This painting was created using spray paint, acrylic paint and Posca pens on canvas.
