The last few months have been strange for my studio what with moving abroad, moving back again and living in a hotel for a very long time with a small baby! I had to turn down various commissions due to lack of space, but things have recently changed!

I’ve taken advantage of new-found freedom and made a series of portraits for, and of various people. It’s been wonderful focusing on the detailed ‘academic’ studies of people’s faces. Especially while we have not been able to see each other half as much. I aimed to convey warmth, emotion and energy in all of the pieces. I’d love to know what you think of them.

Alongside this, I’ve been painting some quick underwater sketches for my continuing underwater series ie; my unending fascination with marine life! These are becoming extremely large canvases suitable for hotel lobby, large houses on their stairs. I’ll share them soon.

And lastly, I’ve made many pen and ink sketches that you see here! Featuring houses, local streams, local fauna etc. , I continue the ideas of perspectives, nature and the urban environment, and paths to use perspective and a sense of human presence.

I’d love to know what you think of these upcoming works. If you fancy a pen and ink of your home or as a gift for christmas please let me know as my schedule is getting busy. If you’d like to know more tips to draw these pen and inks, stay tuned for more tips soon (…cue exciting project coming!).
