Purple rose
16"x 20"

This is part one of a pair that I intend on painting for my partner. My first piece that iv been fully happy to say it's finished. I think that this one was a good learning curve, I spent more time on getting the shading in the right place's and putting the right hue's were they should be. I enjoyed working on this one greatly.

Red/ Pink rose

Red Rose
30"x 40"

After showing a friend my painting of the blue rose, he commissioned for me to paint this. The largest iv ever painted and only my fourth since I picked up my weapons. I have very mixed feeling about this one, on one hand its only my fourth in a long time, on the other side I know in myself that I can do better. I guess we live and learn.
Well in the end my friend came to pick it up and was very happy with it, so much so he gave me £20 more than I was asking. Plus he has since asked for another the same size. Result.

Blue Rose
6"x 9"

After my first I became suck for time, balancing between my little girl, my partner and work. So I painted this in around four hours which is fast for me. It has ended up on my partners parents wall. It could be said that this is the one that has started a small flood of flower request's from family and friends.

First Since School

2011-02-27T23:44:00.000+00:00

First try
16"x 20"

After maybe 15 years out of school I decided to have a go at oil painting, Mainly because my mother likes to paint also and infected me with the bug. I say infected because it is easily caught and once you have it's your's for life. lol. This is my first try. It came from a figurine that lives on my fireplace and a little imagination.
