shop update

7 November 2018

6 months in Spain and France just flew by. I sketched and painted more than ever filling 2 and half sketchbooks and 12 big A3 sheets and 4 smaller A4 sheets.

16 June 2026

There's something irresistibly paintable about a weathered fence post half-swallowed by summer wildflowers. It's the contrast that does it — rough, sun-bleached wood against the soft, fleeting delic...
