A video planning over Small Wonder 2024, a pastel painting of an interestingly mutated Laccaria mushroom!
It's a good example of my ink and pastel technique that I've been enjoying, and the painting itself is a literal reminder to notice the small things in our environment.

A recent painting from life, of Laccaria Laccata (I think) titled Small Wonder
This has an unusual mutation where another cap seemed to be growing inverted from the top of the cap, which was the detail that caught my eye among the grass and leaves

A wee seafront Mediterranean fisherman's cottage
It's an Innerscape, an idea that my friend Cat showed me a couple of years ago, an imaginary/remembered landscape.
This painting is for sale! DM me for price and postage arrangements.

A book cover from my Booktober 2023 list:
The Road
I got the idea from McCarthy describing in an interview that he was inspired by imagining El Paso, USA with 'fires on the hill', wondering what it would look like devastated.

There is a video of this, but it took a while to do this painting. A cover for Blindness by José Saramago. It was a recommendation from a friend.
I tried a different set of techniques, just for fun

Ooo spooky season continues with The Picture of Dorian Grey. There is a process video filmed at an awkward angle available on IG, bear with me while I spread myself across all these many networks.
The original is for sale in my Etsy shop if you like this, obscenely discounted.
