Catching up with another fab #PortraitChallenge set by @studioteabreak.bsky.social. My pencil #sketch of Portrait of Laurie Morrocco, original was oils on canvas painted by his father, Alberto Morrocco, 20th century.
The eyes were so tiny to draw…

This year I was lucky enough to paint a 2.5m tall giraffe called Boaty, for #Cambridge and I did a tiny version of it too for myself. And I also painted a miniature ox to raise funds for Sobell House Hospice in #Oxford. Inspired by The Boat Race, Oxford Uni Boat Club and University of Oxford.
🐂💙

True Blue was inspired by the Oxford University Rowing team and The Boat Race. I painted him to raise funds at auction (up till 15 Dec) for Sobell House Hospice in #Oxford as I was an #OxTrail2024 artist. Prices are very reasonable indeed. Link in comments.

My latest project has been to paint two teeny oxen for Sobell House Hospice in Oxford, UK. It has been a great joy to have been involved in fundraising for this amazing charity that helps so many people and their families and friends. Sneak peeks coming soon.
