It’s day 2 in the studio, and I’m a bit stumped on what to do. It’s 5.47pm (It doesn’t feel like it) and I’m wondering whether to start a new stretched smallish canvas or not. I spent some time preparing a digital design and then sketch for a painting back in London, of a run…… Continue reading Day 2

This blob, curvy, flowing style all started when I picked up oil paints again, when for the first time since being graduated, and of course since the pandemic, I took them outside to paint.
