Lovely to be sculpting again. This horse has been collecting dust in the cupboard for years. Great to be working on it again today.

This is my daughter Eva.
She's a deep thinker and questions why things are as they are - like most kids I guess. She asks simple questions that I cannot answer, like 'where did the first mother come from' and 'what is the point of humans and animals'.
I love her with all my heart.

I loved doing this wee figure study. There are so many ways to approach such a painting. I find it hard to follow recipies at the best of times, so each time I paint I feel like a beginner. It's a pain in the arse some times, but a pleasure at others. I enjoyed playing with contrast between sharp edges and soft edges, using a new limited palette of transparent reds, yellows and a blue.

A rainy morning plein air painting at Genthod marina, here in Geneva. Even though done under an umbrella, droplets made their way to the paint and panel. I was on a call to my father; he was trying to get through to me the importance of painting to a market, and I was trying to get through to him painting to one's own values and judgement.
I did the initial setch in a pure magenta, not what I usually use. You can still see some of it poking through on the shore line.
I love this painting. Maybe because when I look at it I can still smell the rain and hear my Dads voice.

Plein air painting of a Willow.
I painted this last summer on a beautiful, warm day. Sometimes the act of painting a picture feels good, sometimes it is a miserable fight. This one felt good.

Figure study sketch.
30 x 40cm oil on panel. Signed.
100 euro (+ shipping)
This figure study was done as a practice in observation specifically of the varying temperatures of skin. I wanted to understand more the play between the oranges, yellows, greens and blues of the skin tones.
I left parts of the initial sketch exposed to contrast with the more rendered parts. I like the play between the two as it echoes the dualistic nature in our everyday world.

View over Parco Caffarella 2020, Rome, Italy. This is a plein air painting (done on location), done just before the covid lockdown. I was listening to Jethro Tull and loving life that morning. The wind was cold and there was an icy but lively chill to the air. I was feeling much love and wonder for the world.
