Hi there, yes it’s been another long while since I last posted…. the last few months have been harder than I expected which in turn yielded some unexpected effects on me in many ways.. I’m working up the courage to share this with you soon.. I am discarding 2016 as a snake discards it’s old skin so that everything can begin again anew in the New Year and beyond.. I haven’t been totally idle.. doing a lot research and thinking over…
OMG!! I can’t believe it’s been two months since my last post!!!! life has definitely gotten in my way – things have gone down hill for me over the last two months, with loss of work and associated income.. and with that a general loss of motivation and focus.. leaving me very frustrated and somewhat despondent. I’ve been trying to grapple with where I am, what I am doing, what am I supposed to be doing and where the hell…
Hi there viewers, it’s been quite sometime since I lasted posted anything here.. the last couple of months have been unusually busy for me in a good way! I have been involved in a local Craft and Design Show as well as participated within the Skulltopia exhibition as well.. which has opened a few new opportunities that will be very helpful in assisting me in moving forwards.. I have decided that I REALLY need to get back into the swing…
Here is my latest large piece at 17.5 x 22″ on Fabriano Artistico Extra White Hotpress 140lb/300gsm paper. I had the image/concept going around my head for some time so I decided to let it out! I also kept a record of my steps.. to start – the final piece. It’s interesting to note, that I haven’t skied since the mid eighties! and skiing or snowboarding doesn’t hold any particular interest with me, however as an artist I find the…
Hi there everyone, I apologize for taking such a long time to add a new post.. time kind of got away on me.. and I am going through a hard time in my life right now which I am still on the fence in terms of putting my situation out there.. because to get where I want to go I really need help but I am trying to work out the best way to approach that. Anyway that being said,…

Hi there readers… I know I haven’t posted anything for a wee while, I have been somewhat stranded between busy and procrastinating badly! more about that in my next post.. but to whet some appetites here’s some new art.. I finished this drawing a few days ago.. I especially enjoyed using the 6B pencil on the sky area.. And these two… “Little Orange Vespa” are 6 x 4 heavy CP watercolor paper. My reference image was thanks to Unsplash.com and…
Hey there followers.. I finally got down to it and populated my long empty Fine Art America page! there are 17 pieces of art that you can purchase everything from the original piece through to shower curtains.. http://bit.ly/1Y0FIBy Check it out, let me know what you think! 🙂
I gave myself a challenge to see if I could emulate #Monet s #impressionist style with #coloredpencils  #polychromos  on #arches  300gsm/140lb HP watercolor paper.. this allowed me many more layers and so better for the experimentation!!! I am very happy with both pieces!! and is something I am going to explore further and perhaps see if I can incorporate it into my other “segmented” style so many wonderful possibilities.. these are quite small approx. 5 x 7″ so whatever I do…
