15.01.2022 Lockdown seems to bring out the portraiture in me, this one inspired by @leviconely, i felt the expression pretty well summed up the way we all feel about COVID. Stay safe everyone

15.01.2022 Let the neigh sayers neeeeeigh! Say hello to hogwash- inspired by my first horse ride last week

14.01.2022 This is a nice nod from the guys @bluethumbart - for me the creative process is a cyclical thing. i push as far i can in one direction - which recently has been realism, and then I’ll find something pulls me right back in the opposite direction. It’s important to continually challenge how we look at things. what’s interesting to me, is the way I approach something very loose and fluid after being so focused on fine intricate details. Breaking that headspace of making something look as much like it does in reality as i can, and then doing the complete opposite and rediscovering techniques I haven’t used in a long time.

11.01.2022 Working disproportionately out of scale is interesting, im taking a humming bird which is about 7-9cm and blowing him out to close to a meter this time
