My first sale on Bluethumb online gallery! A self portrait
2017 starts with a bang!
I'm so pleased to be able to support myself with my personal artwork once more! Many thanks to all who have been loving and buying my work!! Here are some images of the work so far this year, and an image of a commission that I finished at the end of last year. I am in the beginning of a mural that is about 7 x 7.5 metres for a private house, there will be more on this next post!
Packing a commissioned painting of the acrobat, Sabine van Rensburg to go to Canada!
It's great to break the ice on a large painting... Here's the first sketch of the forest section of the mural commission
From here to there! Planning out the mural which would take the first 2 months of the year, and transform a friend's house
Marley thinks that it's time that I have a break from painting the mural..
The first layer of 'Dark Matter', a painting of the acrobat, Shannon Berry-Bam.
Painting in the stars, one at a time. I love to make sure that all the constellations I paint are as accurate as possible. They are generally what was above the subject when they were born
Sona printed this tee shirt for me! It is quite apposite, it translates as 'Silly Billy, Silly Billy, Silly Billy, Silly Billy, Silly Billy, Silly Billy, Silly Billy, Silly Billy.'
Lots of new works on the go in April!
Pushkin doing a structural integrity test on my home-made easel
Nicky is packing her portrait, acrobat-style, to go to the USA!
Roughing in the colours
The client took this surprise photo whilst we were talking. By this stage of the mural, I was extremely comfortable on the planks!
When it is seriously time to play catch with Marley! He certainly made the workday fun!
Part of the Sleep series, Maddy Grant, of Vulcana Women's Circus, is dreaming of flight and I am thinking about how we seem to leave our body when we sleep
Sona and Nicky stopped by to have a look at the mural when it was finished.
