    Women In Art exhibition

    Delighted that my self portrait 'Contented Place' has been selected for this year's Women in Art exhibition in Mall Galleries, London 9 - 12 October. Very much looking forward to that. If anyone is in London around those dates, pop along and have a look. 🙂

    Mona Lisa, Clapham Common, London.

    Mona Lisa, Clapham Common, London.

    Back in 2013, I featured in the first series of Sky Art Portrait Artist of the Year. A huge Mona Lisa was produced using repeat images of the artists' works from that series. I found an image so thought I would share it. Following page on my ' me at work ' profile shows a close up of Mona Lisa's face, my self portrait can be seen if you look closely.

    If you squint, you will see that you're looking at Mona Lisa's face, look closely and I can be found resting on my hand. What a lovely thing to have been a part of.

    Close up portion of a commission that I have just finished. What a gorgeous face to have spent time on. Commissions are easy to arrange on Artfinder, or by contacting me directly. I am always delighted to transfer people's ideas onto canvas... whether it's a traditional formal portrait, or something a little more unusual, if there's something that you might like, I'm here to help. 🙂

    Joni #2 in progress

    A small scale version of this painting sold recently via social media as soon as I had uploaded it to Artfinder. A customer that didn't have chance to buy the small one commissioned this larger version as a result. Commissions are always welcome and can easily be arranged through Artfinder or with me directly.

    Bjork ( commission)

    Bjork ( commission)

    A small scale portrait of the wonderful Bjork. I love these small scale canvases, they make great affordable original art gifts. This dimension also forces a harsh crop of a face, it really works and creates impact despite it's size. 9 x 12 inches, oil on canvas.

    International Portrait Day

    Happy International Portrait Day! I thought that I would share my favourite portrait to date...I painted this one a couple of years ago and haven't managed to top it since. This is Andy Rance, founder of Livewire Youth Project in my home town, Saltash. Top man, top charity, supporting young people, offering mental health support, counselling, live music workshops.
