New Year Resolution
Starting Life Drawing Classes
At the start of this year I signed up to a block of Life Drawing Classes. It has been about 20 years since I last attended one, so was a bit nervous but it was such a good experience. I have become a bit too reliant on digital technology for my references and forgot how important it can be to draw from life. I hope this will help me to take my work in different and more creative directions. To follow my journey you can also follow me on Facebook or Instagram.
A Load of Bollocks!
Project for CAHONAS SCOTLAND
I have completed my entry for the #beermatsforballs auction and exhibition, a fundraiser for the testicular cancer charity CAHONAS SCOTLAND. The exhibition will be on during Testicular Cancer Awareness week in 2024.
My entry is called 'The Plums of Man', inspired by the Rene Magritte painting 'The Son of Man'. The depiction of the plums were in keeping with the theme 😊.
My First Art Demo
Teaching the local art club.
In June 2023 I took another step on my artist journey and gave my first live demonstration.
