    Road to Me

    A portrait that I have painted specifically to submit to something significant in the world of portraiture. I painted this fabulous person three years ago as a female goth, and have been following his journey through transition, this is an update of that process.

    I always start with the eyes... windows to the soul, and this is quite a captivating gaze. Get the eyes right and the rest is plain sailing...🤞

    Small portrait of Amy Winehouse, 9 x 12 inches. I had intended to upload this for sale today, but it sold before I had finished it! Thought I'd share it anyway.

    Samurai (commission)

    Samurai (commission)

    Oil & acrylic on canvas 120 x 90 cm An unusual request for a regular collector. I love the retro graphic feel to this large painting. Difficult to photograph due to the dimension.

    A collection

    A collection

    Nine years ago, I was commissioned to paint the synchro swimmers seen here at the centre. Since then, I have painted almost 50 commissions for the same collector. This is a little tribute to him, the next few pages contain a montage of the majority of those works. I really enjoy commissions, they require me to paint something that I wouldn't ordinarily choose to paint, they challenge me and that's a really useful thing. Commissions can easily be arranged via Artfinder, or by contacting me directly.

    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.
