View Over The Valley.

This painting is based off a view near me, naturally, loved working with the autumnal colours and creating a little space for two people and their dogs to live 🧡
Big projects and commission work means I haven't been able to share much art lately, so have some recent Sketchbook Exploration.
Pinterest People & Intriguing Japanese Cocktails.
This is a nice colourful spread and some much needed gentleness amongst the bigger stuff.
Strangest moment when I offer to make a round of tea for everyone in the house and they all say "no thank you"...
Like, has everyone been replaced with replicas? What is happening?!
Yes I missed a good "5 NEW(ISH) PRINTS IN MY SHOP (NUMBER 5 WILL SURPRISE YOU)" moment but I did here for posterity.
My shop has been updated with 5 images from an old project to celebrate the new season!
(Since I can only upload 4 I guess number 5 is a surprise for Bluesky users)
They are printed on high quality paper and look just like the original paintings, support if you can! 🍂

Hugely deserved, he was incredible in the latest series of Severance
“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys
No matter how much you disliked the direction Game Of Thrones went or the ending, we can hopefully all agree with one thing...
The opening still fucking slaps.
A Study In My Sketchbook

I am currently in the throws of a very big project with an ever looming deadline, so I wanted to share something from my sketchbook.

Here, I am doing some studies from paintings by Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederic Leighton, probably one of my favourites from that movement.
Yesterday, I sat outside and painted some images based on photos friends have taken.

The whole day was truly lovely, very much manifesting the life and feelings I want for myself.

Hope you like them.
The Journey Back
This is a piece I've been meaning to do for a while, based on long coach journeys back after being somewhere.
I also let the acoustic version of "Smiling At Strangers On Trains" dictate the mood of this piece <3
Done with watercolours, gouache, and pencil crayons.
Dearly Beloved Rival

An image created for the game Empire LRP, featuring my character and... well, her dearly beloved rival following their dreams at the cost of each other's.

Created in the art style of two nations in the game, made using watercolour, gouache, pencil crayons, and mica pigments.

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).

If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.
Perspective Check

This is a painting of the Koko Head Trail in Hawai'i, I was super inspired by all the shades of green, straight lines, and yeah, the sudden change in perspective - Based off a photo from my partner.

Done with gouache paints.
Haunting but gorgeous!
We Keep Going

Based off a photo an acquaintance of mine uploaded, artistically altered in places, but the original image inspired something 💜

Let's keep supporting each other and listening.

Draining and demoralising in places, but done.
I hope it's enough, because holy shit...

Working on a celestial themed image whilst listening to one of the most beautiful movie scores ever created.

I am of course talking about the Kung Fu Panda 2 OST.

Some people can't work.

You are just going to have to accept that.
