Charcoal Portrait

I’d love to say that I drew this from life and captured a special moment but I actually set it up, nagging our son to allow me to take a photo whilst he posed, reading a book!

The fact is, he became engrossed in the plot and forgot to whinge. I hope that I’ve caught some of his intense focus?

Shrewsbury Market Square

Ideas…. Alla Prima sketch: oil painting on canvas board… next year’s Christmas card design?

Just can’t paint Christmas card designs in the summertime!

Life Drawing

Charcoal Sketch 20 mins, smudged on the way home …

November 5th 2024, playing with paint and watercolour sketching with ink free style… feeling the need to paint something cheerful!

Cats love Christmas too! Pen and ink/watercolour paintings for new Christmas cards available on my website shop now!

Shrewsbury Old Market Hall at Christmas, oil painting for original art christmas cards available to buy (along with many other designs) on this site now!

Dog Portrait commissions recently completed in pastel. I love dogs and it’s so rewarding to hear when someone is happy with the painting of their beloved animal.

( I am happy to paint cats and other animals but the requests for dog portraits are keeping me most busy right now!)
