I know it’s early days and that I’ve only got a few followers but here’s a plug: I offer one to one mentoring for artists and art students. Details in the image. Please share, even if it’s not for you. I’m really good at this. Really good. Trust me. #art #artmentor #artstudent

Sometimes - often, in fact- it’s the whimsical thing made instead of leaving the studio early that is worth having.

This canvas has previously been home to countless images / layers.

Four Acrylic Paintings

Acrylic on Paper

130mm x 90mm

#art #acryliconpaper #contemporarypainting #contemporarybritishpainting #acrylicpainting #blocstudios #sheffield #sheffieldissuper
Colourful medieval -style painting of a Saint with a white and blue ray of light coming from his mouth. Cartoon style painting of a man’s head that looks flayed, but with an explosion of coloured rays coming out of the top of his head. Painting of a crudely sculpted gargoyle-like face. Painting of a white tree-like motif in a black circle surrounded by slabs of colour bounded with black lines, a bit like a stained-glass window.

Thank you @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social for writing The Invention of British Art. Just read the final two chapters. The first of which is complex and deep, while the final one is pithy and climactic, building on all that has gone before. A triumph, sir. Congratulations.
