27/10/2024 0 Comments Painting Soar PurposeSoar Purpose, the painting, has flown to a new home. Since this painting was so significant, I dug through my archives to put together this blog post. I actually forgot to take some final pics, after I'd touched up the edges and signature before exhibition. So these photos are from when the painting was originally done in 2020.
This blog post shares some of my creative process, which I have put together, spanning years. I added most of the images first, then the writing. Which is actually how I mainly create: visuals before words.

30/7/2024 0 Comments Art Saved My LifeI am not exaggerating in the title. Art gave me a reason and a purpose to keep going, after I lost everything, including my mind and relative health, from circumstances beyond my control. Clinicians say I have permanent impairment from a mental injury (primary diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD and bipolar disorder).

25/6/2024 0 Comments Reference pics for paintingsIt's very common for artists to use reference pics when painting. There are a few issues with using reference pics. Also, some benefits, which I want to outline in this blog post. Below is my latest painting, 'Highlander' (a mountain sheep).
I recently painted: 'Not a Typical Office Job,' inspired by photos I took when I visited my son recently in Sydney. In this blog post, I outline what was involved in the painting process (which in general applies to my other paintings). My paintings are many layers, over several days and I specialise in acrylics.
