Fox collage

Mixed Media Collage

Collage has been calling to me lately, it is something that I explored when I first got into art 2.5 years ago and I still love doing it.  I've been experimenting with some different techniques and believe I have come up with a style that is quite unique.  This is my latest piece "Rabbit", Collage & Acrylic on stretched canvas, 10" x 12".

Duke of Burgundy

After all the cats I've been painting recently I felt like doing something completely different.  Just finished this painting yesterday, it is a Duke of Burgundy butterfly (a European butterfly),  Oil on Gessobord, 8" x 10".  Thanks to Byron Taylor for his permission to use his beautiful photo as a reference.

More oil paintings

I haven't updated my blog for quite a while, been busy painting cats in oil and I also did one of my own dog Woodley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ginger cat in progress

I'm really enjoying painting cats at the moment.  I wanted to paint a cat with amber eyes and decided to use this lovely reference from the Wet Canvas photo reference library.  This is how far I've got, still a bit more detail needed in the fur and he needs whiskers too...

Cats in Oil

The last few weeks I've been concentrating on painting cats in oil.  My first attempt was a beautiful closeup of a silver Persian.  I've actually done this picture before but in coloured pencil.  I'm so much happier with this oil version though..

 

 

Next I decided to paint a cute little kitten lying back on a blanket.  This one was more challenging as there was a lot more fur to paint but I was happy with the results...

 



Long time no post

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted on my blog!  I have been busy with my art, new Brusho pieces, a pastel and some oils as well.  Below are some of the works I've done...
