Sick of seeing this yet? No? Good - me neither! If you’re in and around London in January, I’d love to see you at the show. (See what happens when I’m out of the studio? Shameless self promotion)
DM me for further details.

So here it is my friends and colleagues! I really hope to see you there for the opening, but I intend to be around for a little while to catch up, meet and greet.
Thank you @proudgalleries for hosting this exhibition!

I’m going to be posting variations of this an annoying amount over the next six weeks, so apologies in advance!
That said, I am truly looking forward to sharing this body of work with you in London. I hope you can make it to the show - more to follow.

Complete. This painting has been somewhat hanging over me for a while… started in earnest, let go of, restarted, put away, ignored, moved, ignored again… the revised, renewed and completed. The landscape - this landscape - has an ever present hand in my work, and whilst I don’t think it benefits my evolution as a painter to always be turned towards it, it stands to be re-engaged with when necessary. It’s a subconscious prompt. Photography nerd section: Sigma Art Lenses are razor sharp with no distortion whatsoever!

The early morning light is diffuse in the studio, and makes for ideal documentary photography! No extra lights needed and only a little Lightroom tweaking required…
