I have been a member of the Woodland Trust for many years and so was very pleased that they planted a wood within half a mile of my house.
This mixed media painting was completed using sketches I made in July 2001. They had been lying about for ages until I came across them this year. Needless to say, due to the maturity of the wood, this view does not exist anymore!
I am basically a painter in oil but, perhaps ironically, the more ‘serious’ painting I have done recently have been in acrylic.
This may have been something to do with the scale, larger canvases. I find it easier to cover larger areas with watered down acrylic.
There is also something about the immediacy of acrylic. You have to work fast, so maybe this makes me worry less about detail and look at overall effect.
Yes, I’m starting to put stuff on YouTube as well. All the music (so far) has been composed by Leofwine, my alter ego. The videos themselves are a mixed bag of my art, pictures and videos… but this may change. Enjoy!
It may be only August but feel free to contact to discuss a Christmas commission, or for any other occasion for that matter.
