The big cats are on canvas, 50 x 70 cm, and the abstract is on board, 30 x 40 cm. Both are mixed media and experimental!
I am undecided on my next topic (nothing new there really) but am open to suggestions if anyone has any bright ideas?! I suspect there are thousands of inspired people out there just waiting to set me a challenge! Be happy!
These two pictures are both in oil paint but on loose canvas sheets, roughly 30 x 40 cm. I have now run out of canvas of any description and I shall be hunting around for some boards to use until I can acquire some more canvas! I hope you like these two characters. Staying at home due to Covid 19 has its benefits and its downsides! Running out of materials is a definite downside for me. but having time to paint is very welcome!

A good friend of mine sent me a black and white picture of lions and asked me to paint them – this is the result. It’s painted in oils on 60 x 40 cm board. I had to use board as I have been unable to find anywhere open to buy canvas from during this current phase of lock-down and I had quite a baptism of fire learning how to paint on board as it reacts so differently from canvas! My friend has expressed satisfaction and superlatives over the result so I am more than happy!! Let me know your views?
This painting emerged from an old sketch I found which I created many years ago. While isolated in lock down I had a good rummage through old artworks and found him. Although I could not remember his name, I do know he is a local resident. The picture below is the end result, and I have since found out his name as he was recognised from the painting! Wonderful! It’s so lovely when people recognise someone you have painted! I hope you like him. He’s mixed media on canvas, 50 x 70 cm.
