News and snaps from my studio. Sometimes I write about new pieces that I’m working on that are not released yet. If I think of a tip or piece of advice that will help you look after your painting I’ll often share it here. If there’s something specific you want to find, there is a search box down below.

I have been working on a set of four new originals, which are now available for sale. These are textured pieces with brush and knife work and in very rich bright and beautiful colours. These pieces will be ready to ship soon, Benavie is now on my website. There are three larger pieces at 80 x 100 cm approx / 30 x 40 “ , and one square format canvas at 76 x 76 cm approx / 30 x 30 “
I am making the most of painting in my new studio, where there is a lot of room. Im even using one of the walls as an extra easel. This gentleman is 150 x 100 cm and is nearly ready to appear on my website.
This was a very large and very exciting recent commission of mine. My customer had a very clear idea of the very lion he wanted the portrait for and I was able to source a super, clear photograph with high definition and clear details. The piece is an oil painting in black and white and is one meter squared. At this size, the canvases that I use are lovely and chunky, with very sturdy 38 mm sides, and the finished painting makes quite an impact!
