I am entering a competition to paint a flower or flowers that are backlit. I started painting this hibiscus from a photograph I took some time ago while holidaying in Scotland. I will share the completed painting once I finish.

Which painting next?

Wondering which photograph to use as reference picture for next painting. Your suggestions?

New studio space

With more paintings being created, my wonderful wife suggested that we convert the little used dining room into a art studio. I have more than double the space I had before allowing easier access to the different media I am using with better storage.

Toketee Falls Oregon

My latest painting is of Toketee Falls in Oregon. I finished it on Christmas Eve as a present for a good friend of the family. She is a Massage Therapist and wanted a waterfall for her massage room. Canson Mi Teintes 160g using Rembrandt, Faber Castell and SoHo soft pastels. I enjoyed painting for myself and for the present it was. Your comments are welcomed.
