Work in progress! 🎨 The second 90cm x 90cm painting that’s currently in progress, alongside the painting in my previous post. Part of my process for my paintings is to use bits of paper to block out anything I feel isn’t working or is

I've been doing lots of this lately Staring at a work in progress painting, trying to work out the next move. Putting a painting on the wall, looking at it, and then replacing it with another. This is all part of the process, and the part of the cr

Great seeing these two side by side. I'm excited to see where this little series takes me. These have both been fun to work on. I was already using torn paper edges in my work, but I was unsure when I first introduced torn drinks packaging here. At
A couple of paintings that are still work in progress, but almost complete I'd say. I enjoy seeing them together on the studio wall, and they work well as a pair. I'm enjoying the almost monochromatic paintings with one area of colour. I mentioned i
Happy Monday! Starting the week with a brand new finished painting. This one has popped up in my stories a few times whilst It's been in progress, and after a few finishing touches yesterday it's now complete. This is the second in a series of smal

A long overdue shot of my new Thamesmead studio home, now that it's been fully setup for a couple of months and my creativity is back in full swing. Lots of work in progress going on here across various canvases, picking out colours and objects fro
