More fishy fishy

Another fishing design to be sold in garden centre shops.

Lady golf

I always prefer to aim towards the original idea I had in my head when I paint up an illustration. So when a design undergoes countless revisions its always a challenge to stop the image getting away from me. This golf design started off in a completely different setting but ended up like this.

Never ending Christmas

The wedding march

Got my wife to put her wedding dress back on to model for this painting. I could have ran some dappled light over the train of the dress but felt it worked better to leave it as a simple white shape.

Madonna design

Watering the garden

Getting the figure right makes or breaks these kind of illustration. The dungarees being baggy made it quite tricky. Hopefully I got it.

Madonna in the Garden of Gethsemane

I've changed it up a bit with the lighting in this one. As always the face was the trickiest bit.

Snowball fight

I wanted to something a bit more dynamic and so came up with this snowball fight scene.

The Toy Shop

Choir singing in a cathedral

Donkey Sanctuary

Silent Night, Holy Night

These two Christmas card designs were commissioned from other designs I have previously done. Its always a challenge to do something that looks similar but is actually quite different.

Squirrel character design

Something a bit different - some character design work for a squirrel with serious financial sense.

Winter romance

Jesus and his Mum

Drinking wine in Dordogne

Christmas Choir

Fisherman Dan

 

Ah those long autumn days idling by the riverside catching trout.

Steam train

 

Christmas

 

Christmas street scene.

Posing for this one was quite hilarious in many ways. Painting it was, however, tricky.

Wedding bells

Another wedding card design. Cropping the heads means its applicable to anyone getting married no matter what they look like.

Nativity with lambs

High Tea

A challenging lighting situation. I'd say its a step in the right direction but it could be better. Figure drawing needs work.

Wine design

I am finding that the better I make the prep drawing the easier it is to do the painting quickly and well. So in theory if I practice my drawing more then my paintings should get better.

The Little Carollers

Fine Art Santa

African Baby Jesus

Nativity scene aimed at African American market.
