NEW - Sea Fan in Ruby

Before I show you my latest paintings, just a reminder - if you'd like to be in the running for an original painting of your choice, make sure you enter my giveaway. But hurry - it closes midnight on Wednesday, 10th November, so hop to it! The winner will be announced on Friday, so good luck everyone :)

Ok, I've just finished a commission for a lovely client and thought I'd share them with you before I post them away to their new home. The brief was for custom-designed Sea Fan paintings in a rich red, and this is the result:

 'Sea Fan in Ruby II'

'Sea Fan in Ruby'

I've also been working on something very exciting, and although I can't share the details just yet, if all goes to plan I'll be giving you the scoop very soon. Fingers crossed!

Enjoy your day everyone,

They're finished...

...but not without a few hiccups! Here's the artwork I mentioned in my post on Tuesday.

I did have a huge small problem with these. When they were almost finished, I hung them together to check how they looked. That was when I saw it....

Aargh!! The canvases, in spite of being the same size, were in fact out by around 1cm. Now this does happen occasionally, and I'm usually really particular in checking this. But for some reason I didn't notice until it was far too late. After much teeth gnashing and a few choice words, I spent the next day painting another pink canvas.

Oh well, it's all done now and my client is thrilled, so I'm happy. And hey, now I have a canvas ready, I'll design another to go with it so it won't go to waste. 

Have a great day,

Flower power

Morning everyone,

I've been painting for many years now, and I find it interesting to go back through my photos and see how my work has changed and evolved over time. 

One of the things I enjoy most about combining my art with interior work is being able to custom design artwork to complement my design schemes. In keeping with a floral theme, I thought I'd share a few of the large-scale floral commissions I've had the pleasure of painting.

'oriental I'

'oriental study III'

'bouquet II'

Have a great day
