Did this painting years ago, my step-grandaughther, who no longer talks to us or see us in 'The Last of Us' when it was just a game that Neil Druckman didn't have full creative control over; so it was good. I loved it; played it 1000s of times #Painting #PortraitPainting #Art #artist #TheLastofUs

Just be checking my posts, I have posted some of my older paintings, thinking it is the first time I've posted them, about 3 times or more! Getting old sucks. I saw this film as a young lad and loved it. Oliver Reed in The Curse of the Werewolf #ArtistsOnBlueSky #Painter #Art #Artist #BlueSkyArt

Painted this back in Tw*tter days for 'Wendy', not @wendybayne.bsky.social, was her father who had passed recently. I sent it to her, she said her family loved it. Recently I found her old e-mail; messaged her; politely as possible without using the actual words she told me F**k off #art #portrait

A painting from a few years ago of my good friend 'Becs' from Tw*tter. She sent the photo she wanted painted. Was a Canadian who lived in Japan (if I remember properly), I thought she was on here but I've completely lost touch. She was great #art #painting #portrait #artist #portraitpainting #Becs
