New cow painting for sale
Beautiful new cow painting for sale - textured painting in glowing colours is now available.
My latest cow painting for sale is Talisker, in rich glowing shades of chocolate, gold and warm orangey-reds. I painted this big guy using thickly applied paint over thinner underlayers, creating a lot of texture and movement, The layered colours absolutely glow! This is one of the many beautiful things about oil painting, you can glaze on top on under layers and create dazzling effects. Because of the thickness of the paint, and the type of colour used, this piece is taking weeks to dry!
Update: this piece is now available from Creative Fine Art, Marlborough.
Of course, I named him Talisker because of his beautiful whisky colours!
A new painting of a graceful fox out in a snowy landscape
A new painting of a graceful fox out in a snowy landscape
I’ve never really painted any snow before, so I wanted to try a snowy landscape for my fox painting. I enjoyed the first layer, blending colours on the canvas, rather than on the palette. I have just used burnt sienna, Caribbean turquoise, magenta and brown pink together with white. I’ll stick with this palette for the next layer, once this is dry

Highland Bulls - a couple of smaller works in progress
Sometimes I like to go through my pile of unfinished canvases and turn them into something new. So this week I started these two young Highland Bulls in a similar palette of rust and stormy blue. The guy on the left is 50 x 60 cm and on the right 70 x 70 cm. Both of these will be available for sale when they are finished.
