‘Ever Present Past’ (oil on canvas) is my latest painting.

Here’s a glimpse of some of the illustrations I have been producing for a children’s book, using Faber Castell’s Albrecht Durer colour pencils, and Windsor & Newton Designer’s Gouache. They are on medium surface paper, taking advantage of the texture.
