Sunset oil painting and new items in shop

Well, first thing you’ll notice is the new site look. Like it?

For the first time in weeks I did a new oil painting. Although, I suppose this one is more a skyscape than landscape:

Also, once this post is up, I’ll be adding more items to the shop. There’s already about a dozen originals and prints to choose from, but I’ll add more shortly.

A new ABSTRACT painting!

Nope, not a cartoon, not a landscape, not even a portrait or still life… but an abstract:

Untitled Abstract - Acrylic and ink on box canvas

Was lots of fun to do as I could throw the rule book out the window and just do whatever the hell came to mind.  :)

ink drawing complete – finally!

Finally managed to complete the ink drawing I was working on. It seemed like such a good idea at the time, but when you realise that it takes about three hours to cover about one quarter of the A3 page with a 0.1 pen, the novelty quickly wears off! But I managed it. I reckon that it took me about five or six hours in total to finish it. The dark background was done using a 0.8 pen, so that sped things up a bit and the black trees in the background were done with my brush pen, again saving time. But the 0.1 liner pen is almost worn down to the metal, there’s about 0.5mm left of the nib showing.

I’m glad I did it though, and I’d definitely do more.  :)
