"Solitude Bay" is progressing well. 90 x 80 cm Oil on Canvas.
A final layer to the sea surface and we are done.
There are amazing rock/seascapes along the coast on either side of Cape Town, so no shortage of subject matter :)

I know that I am not alone as an artist when I say that there are some paintings that just don't get finished.
Life and subject matter move on, and I may never finish this one.

About to say goodbye to 2025....looking to the east for inspiration.

A horse profile portrait that I completed some years back.
I love the profile of the Lusitano breed, displays incredible strength & character.

As far as I want to go with this study.
Now to create a much larger more complex version. 🤨😏

A small 12 x 12 inch study to consider a colour palette for my next painting "The Punishment of Prometheus". Most probably limited to Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, and MH Warm White, but we will see where this leads.

"Succession" has been recognized by Teravarna Art Galley's 10th Figurative. 🙏 🤗
No Gallery representation means that self promotion, especially through Art Prize competitions, is the way to go (for now).

I know that this is not a result (yet), but to reach this stage in an art competition of the caliber of ARC is beyond my expectations, and I am so grateful. The hard yards really do bear fruit!

Finishing touches being applied to Earth Sister....time consuming, yet deeply satisfying.
Should be posting the completed painting in a few days time. :)

Having some fun using AI to animate some of my paintings.....interesting to see them come to life! 😏😄

Is it just me or is the world tearing itself apart right now?
We paint themes of unity and shared existence that do not represent our time, but to paint the real world would be sad and depressing to say the least.
"Succession completed.
A meditation on legacy, exploring the shift of agency across time.
I intended this piece to be a study in grace, and transformation, and I have layered the oils to portrait subtle contrasts between the old and the new.
Succession isn't always linear—it can be a reclamation.
A detail from "Succession".....almost there!
