Made these small oil studies a while ago. Every year my family send me a Swiss calendar. So I figuered why not paint snippets of it?

Made the most of this sunny winter day and dusted off my old sketch book. Must have been over a decade ago since I last went out to sketch. Bit rusty but hoping to create a new habit

So, I've been keeping busy working on a series of handpainted coat racks. This one's finished.

What do you think?

One of my pieces from a few years ago.

I wish I had a dog, acrylic on plywood, 2021

I really do wish I had a dog. Not sure whether the cat shares the sentiment though

I tidied up my office the other day and found this cartoon I drew back in 2016. Would have never thought it's still up-to-date 8 years later 😭

Duck Duck Goose, acrylic on canvas, 762 x 1016 mm.

Two ducks and one goose. A popular chilren's game. Except, ceçi ne sont ni des canards ni des oies. Unexpectedly, the texture of the grass turned out to be the hardest and most time consuming part of the piece
