Goodboi progress.
I always learn something new when I research & paint artefacts: Anubis was originally draped in two pieces of textile (not one as I previously thought), a shirt (with Akhenaton's name on it) and a gauze wrap. Here I have painted the wrap.

50 years ago I was a kid scribbling KISS motifs & cartoons on everything and anything. The band & its music have stayed with me, so the news that Ace Frehley (my favourite member of KISS), has left us for another stage will take some getting used to.

Friday afternoon oil painting practice - the UI is still buggy, but I got the Reference Image element to work in Rebelle 8 (lost everything else in the process though, & hard crashed the app - thank goodness for the inbuilt saves and recovery files 😅).

November 4 means Egyptologists everywhere are cringing that people will be posting a picture of a seal from the second shrine of Tutankhamun as if it is the door to the tomb (KV62) which was opened on this day in 1922.

Learning a few new things in Rebelle today (making vignettes, gradients) while knocking out my favourite power couple. Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey.

When you have no information if your favourite drawing software (seeming long abandoned by its Dev) is compatible with MacOS Tahoe, you have no choice but to export each piece individually so you can import it into Rebelle. I will be sorry to lose the pencil tools as they are the best I've ever used

Happy #AdarDay to those that celebrate.
OK, it's Saturday, but imho AdarDay should be a thing.
Messing around with palette knives and gradients.

Unfortunately Roxie, Ahmed, Zeinab and the rest of the team didn't leave contact details, but I very much appreciate that they are enjoying my work and decorating their workspace in Zamalek, Cairo with it! I am with them in spirit.

Lady of Shalott has entered the chat. Hopefully there will be some left when I get back, this small rose bush is just bursting with buds. If only the bandicoots and blackbirds would stop digging them up!

I think Munstead Wood is my pick for star performer this spring, although some of our other roses are putting on a lot of buds so that might change over the coming weeks.

Excited to receive my copy of Ancient Egypt in 50 Discoveries from the Egypt Exploration Society all the way from the UK. Was great fun working on a variety of illustrations for this. Get the special gold foil edition before they sell out!
