Some of you may have seen my previous posts about this artwork.
I've finally finished! This is the story from end to beginning - Enjoy 😂
It's called "Crisis". Which crisis is up to you.

Sometimes they are black. Other times brown. If lucky, when the sun is shining, hues of indigo blue will ripple throughout the plumage. A Cormorant.

I have a few favourite wave photos, taken over the years at a few beaches in #Iceland, and this is one of them, from this day in 2021. Slowing down the exposure (this is 0.3 sec) allows you to capture some beautiful movement 🌊
"Night on Bare Mountain" painted a while ago, while listening to the piece by Modest Mussorgsky on repeat. Someone recently told me that they could feel the music while looking at the painting!
I think it's about time I did some more painting to music

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.
You're a star, thank you!

I’m going to have to keep trying! A disconcerting dry spell re sales, I’ll calm down when I’ve had a couple. Thank you guys for being supportive
I’ll try again. All of these original artworks are still available on my website, there are some spooky things and some nice textures and lines that you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you for looking. 🖼️ and if you share this that would be super

I'm never leaving home again!
Last weekend my better half and I went up north (a bit) to visit his parents.
Having been perfectly well for months on end we are both coming down with something unpleasant! No idea what it is, hasn't completely manifested yet - can't wait!

I've put my larger painting on the back burner for a while - it needs some contemplation! So, in the meantime I've done this - no name as yet - it will come to me in its own good time...
I've added detail photos to show texture

Born in the 60s - haven't seen Sound of Music or Mary Poppins!
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
My abstract art has a lot of detail giving great depth and texture. It is incredibly difficult to get this across on social media. The recent open studios I did showed me that I was right!
Any idea how to combat this issue?
Detail pic first with explanation
