Chuffed that my painting “Stand By Me” has been selected for the Extended Longlist for The Jackson’s Art Prize 2025. The wait to see if my work ventures any further in the process begins, but for now I’m enjoying this win. #jacksonsartprize #opencall #landscapepaintingnow #art

I’ve been using the past few studio sessions reflecting on how my work is growing and changing, but also how many of my of previous ideas, colours and process are returning. They are not returning the same, they are coming back different, but also stronger, more accomplished.

Possibly the first painting to reach the finish line for 2025. #newwork #emergingart #mountains #art

Moving towards the finishing line with this one with my head all focused on the clouds. #oilpainting #studio #mountains #clouds #emergingart

Looking forward to getting back in the studio soon after an unexpected exhausting Christmas and a new year spent mostly in bed. It’s time for rest, seasons and weather tell us so. Im trying not to feel frustrated I haven’t painted and to let my mind and body have that rest - but it’s hard.

Set up a little photo shoot of some paintings. Not my favourite job as an artist, but a must to have a bank of good imagery of work.

Keeping warm in the studio with some hot new mountain paintings.

Latest beast of a work in progress. After finding some paths through some small works, it feels brilliant to be working on a larger scale, a place where I can fully immerse myself and be part of the painting rather than observing it. #contemporaryoilpainter #emergingart #studiolife #art

The studio is looking full, but most of the work is still a “work in progress”. Winter is the time for hibernating in the studio and really getting absorbed into my work. #studiolife #emergingart
