Koi Dreams


A concept based on the idea that when we look up at the clouds we imagine all sorts of things, but what would a cat see in the clouds.......fish of course!! Hope you like.
(let me know if the image is too bright and i'll fix it, my screens been playing up recently and i've had some feedback that some images are too bright!)

I love Predator, way too much!

Soo a painting I did this evening, Predator has been on Film4 a couple of times this week and it been great to see Arnie at his peak again, so I felt inspired to do a quick portrait as its been a while since i've done any. The pose is from the end credits and the bg is just a quick mashup to represent all the smoke at the end, hope you enjoy :)

Toby

I was browsing through some old photos and came across a few of my dog Toby and decided to do a quick painting.

Ambush at the Bird Bath!





A while ago I caught my cat napping in the bird bath, when I saw her I thought that the bath would be the perfect place for a cat to not very subtly ambush birds. Just a fun piece, hope you enjoy!

Parahandy


Hi all, i'm feeling very Scottish recently since all this to-do with some sort of wedding or something! Soo i thought what better to do than paint a wee highland cooo! Over time we've had around 15 pet cows so I really enjoyed painting this! We had one called Parahandy who died early on so this is a sort of tribute to him  and all the other moos we've had!

'Purr-sian Blue'



So this is my submission for the Aberdeen Artists exhibition. Also a big shout out to Sarah Coonan who also submitted a gorgeous ceramic bowl. I hope we both get accepted!

I've decided since I don't have a full time job yet that i'd try to keep myself busy. It may or may not be accepted but I like how the drapery has come out and the subtleness of the figure, so overall I'm actually pretty happy with the piece!

Moonlit Forest Stream



I wanted to do a piece with a limited palette, and a sort of Grimms fairytale feel.

The Approaching Storm

Looking back at some of my older pieces I felt inspired by the stormy ocean concept, so I decied to take it a step further and focus mainly on an atmospheric piece. Hope you like it! Thanks for viewing.

10 min life studies

Just a quick wee post. I was in dundee earlier this week and decided to join in at the 4th years life drawing class with Reinhard! I'm a bit rusty but I really enjoyed loosening up with these quick 10 min studies.
