procrastination

I will actually get back to my art work soon... promise.  Been busy wedding planning and lacking in inspiration

No progress with progress

The next piece I'm going to start will be called "Progress". Its quite ironic that I'm struggling to make any at the moment.

I have a few ideas battling it out but I'm not sure where to go with it at the moment.

New piece

Been working on this when I've had time this week. hopefully for a friend if they like it.  Its not quite finished here I want to even out some of the paint work and add a little here and there but it's very nearly done.

It's acrylic on canvas. The colour scheme and style being picked by my friend to hopefully go in a specific room. It was much less scary painting on the canvas this time but what they say is true... the first brush stroke is the hardest.

Personally, I'm really pleased with this piece. Just kinda let myself go and it sort of formed itself. I'm now thinking I need to do more on canvas for myself. Also wondering If I could sell some... that would be amazing!

Eliza Doolittle

This is a piece called "Eliza Doolittle";  named after and Eliza Doolittle's album. This is part of the challenge/project I have set for myself where I produce 30 pieces based on album titles.


Now I'll freely admit that this doesn't really look like Eliza Doolitle in the photo I was working from but I did try. I loved doing the hair!


I only used pastel and this isn't something I often do but am reasonably pleased with the effect. The nose was difficult and something I could do with working on in the future.

under the sea

A pic I did a few years ago, playing around with my style... at this point I hadn't quite finished the sea weed. I'll take another photo and post.

I did this with ink and pastel.

Abstract Flowers

This is one of my favourite pictures. I love the way the pastel has blended on the petals. The black work was all done with an ordinary biro.

I get really lost in this sort of  work :)

pencil sketch

One of my older works. I used pencil and graphite sticks;  the picture was I think I found using google images.


Overall, I was pleased with this piece. Not bad for a first try at drawing a nude figure. I was especially pleased with the veins on the left arm and generally with the shading. I think maybe the left hand could have done with extra work and some of the shadow work isn't quite right.
