I heard something refreshing yesterday: my Dad told me that near where he lives they have decided to plant a new forest rather than build houses. This is great news and something I would like to see happen more and more. With deforestation, many habitats are destroyed including the homes of species like the orangutans.
I had a go at some 3D art. A great exercise in perspective.
It’s so close to being ready! All being well my first self-published children’s book will be available to buy next week. I will keep you posted.
I painted this picture years and years ago (probably back in 2006). It was created using oil paint on canvas.
A painting I did in 2014 after a fantastic holiday to Venice and the surrounding area. I took a photograph on the Rialto Bridge and painted this picture from it. It was painted using acrylic paint on canvas and it is hung on my living room wall.
Preserve our beautiful beaches. A simple beach painting I did in 2016.
Looking back at some of my old artwork, I found this one. It stood out to me as a reminder of our precious beaches, which we should all help to preserve by reducing the amount of single-use plastic we use and by recycling. This is a growing problem and it would be a shame to jeopardise scenery like this. I painted this on canvas in 2015.
While I’m going through the formatting process for my children’s book, I thought I would share some of my other pieces of artwork. This one was completed in 2016 and was the view from my honeymoon hotel in Malcesine, Lake Garda, Italy. To this day, I believe Lake Garda to be the most beautiful place that I have ever been. I painted this on canvas using acrylic paint.
The front cover of my new children’s book is ready and I’m just putting the final colours on the images. I am eager to get this published as soon as possible but I am not rushing through the processes. I must be thorough and do everything in the correct way. Here is a teaser of the front cover; more will be revealed shortly…
