A Landscape Challenge

After a visit to an art shop picking up materials for some recently commissioned work, I couldn't resist picking up a large canvas and setting myself a challenge. Having no idea or plan on what to paint I just chose a colourful palette of colours and started a base coat and the rest is what follows. 

I never was much of a painter and with no previous desire to paint I guess I have surprised myself. I had done a few still life classes at art college which included sketching and painting objects and then moving on to life models. With a love of colour and a techinque I have picked up along the way, I decided to try something a little different....a landscape. 

The painting details a scenery of Dovedale, a beautiful place that holds fond memories and a silhouette of the city to which has been my home for the last couple of years. In the painting there are hidden meanings and references close to my heart. I have taken photos of my step by step progress from start to finish. I have also complied a short video of my documentation which I will upload very soon.

Work in Progress - Sneak Peeks

I have recently been working very hard networking and not updated my blog for a little while. Balancing a day job and then putting your all into your night job can be a very long and pressuring time. At times you feel your not getting anywhere, other times you receive some lovely feedback it keeps you going. I believe in what I do and with this I keep on going each and every day with or without the motivation, I get up and work on. 

I have been getting some new designs together and would like as much feedback as possible. I am a designer and work with a variety of mediums. I am looking to putting together some ranges so my new work will all tie in together. I have attached a few sneak peek pictures so you can see what ive been up to :)

Out of this World

With my head in the stars I got inspired by the night sky and found these amazing LP's with star/space titles. Getting inspired by stars, colours and painting effects, I created a series of starry paintings as a theme for my LP's. Using acrylics and a ranges of brushes and art tools, making an atmospheric and striking set of artwork with a unique style. These pieces come framed and ready for any home or studio wall. If you are interested in these pieces or would like your very own personalised framed LP art, get in touch:

Out of this World LP Art

I have been getting some inspiration for some new art and have started working on some new LP art work. The latest work is based on the song/album titles of the LP's. I have taken some photo's of the new work for you to have a glance at. The album's are framed and for sale.
