Small studies in oil and gold. Only 15 x 15cm approx. really enjoyed playing with oil. So much more ‘fluid’ than acrylic. And the smell is fantastic too

I think this is finished, an exercise in control and patience, something I am not renowned for. This piece will be on sale at the simply cheshire event at Arley hall in May where I shall be exhibiting work for the Joshua tree charity.

Two larger, yet still small drawings in oil

The smell of pure turpentine, really enjoying making these small drawings in oil. Struggling with the drying time but the liquid quality of the paint is something else. Hopefully get 4or 5 out of this collection worthy of framing. All comments welcome , negative or positive…. Thanks

It’s been far too long since I posted a new painting ….

I have really enjoyed making this little painting …. It came as bit of a surprise as it’s not what I set out to achieve.
