A horse profile portrait that I completed some years back.
I love the profile of the Lusitano breed, displays incredible strength & character.

As far as I want to go with this study.

A small 12 x 12 inch study to consider a colour palette for my next painting "The Punishment of Prometheus". Most probably limited to Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, and MH Warm White, but we will see where this leads.

"Succession" has been recognized by Teravarna Art Galley's 10th Figurative. 🙏 🤗
No Gallery representation means that self promotion, especially through Art Prize competitions, is the way to go (for now).

I know that this is not a result (yet), but to reach this stage in an art competition of the caliber of ARC is beyond my expectations, and I am so grateful. The hard yards really do bear fruit!

Having some fun using AI to animate some of my paintings.....interesting to see them come to life! 😏😄

"Succession completed.
A meditation on legacy, exploring the shift of agency across time.
I intended this piece to be a study in grace, and transformation, and I have layered the oils to portrait subtle contrasts between the old and the new.
Succession isn't always linear—it can be a reclamation.

After eight years of adjustments I’ve finally gotten around to varnish “Mortal Combat”. Oil on canvas. 35 x 28 inches. Now available :)

Courbet, as with many creatives, struggled for recognition. Rejection comes in many forms, but for artists it can feel personal.
I equate it to golf....hit just one good ball (sell just one painting), and it all seems worth it. 😉😂
