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.
Email, comment or message if youre interested in purchasing. Thanks!

Studio sale painting 1.
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.

Hi All
I'll be having a Studio Sale from Monday April 22.
From Monday I'll post one painting that's for sale per day. Price range will be from 100 - 400 euro, so there should be something to suit most budgets. Please let me know if you're interested by a message in the replies, a dm or by phone or email.
It's time for me to clear out some space to make room for new work, and I hope some of these paintings at least get to enjoy a new home too.
Cheers!
