The bat girl


Oil on 20x20 Canvasboard.

I was looking through this old book with all sorts of animal species and the bat caught my eye. The wings looked so tempting to paint! Combined it with a face and it was certainly interesting to work on.

Sherlock


Oil on 20x20 Canvasboard.

A one session painting of BBC's Sherlock. Painted quickly and thickly! Despite the wrong anatomy I feel there's a sort of charm about it. A fun relaxing little painting.

Nefertiti


The second painting in my Dad's shop. Again painted up on a door. My personal favourite from the two. Her skin turned out really interesting, since I took the paint away there it left this thin film upon the white door which made it look like a marble surface.

Tutankhamun


One of two large paintings I did for my dad's egyptian themed gift shop. It's painted up on a door in the store. I wanted it to look old and weathered.

It was quite an adventure painting that big! I remember being scared of messing it up and ruining my dad's shop, but once I got into it was very enjoyable, especially with using the white spirit to make it look old.
