30 Jan 2009 Eros

The statue of Eros is in the centre of Piccadilly Circus. This is where the neon lights of many advertisments make this spot a magnet for Londoners and tourists. Eros is thought to be a 'god of love' and young couples may pose beneath his bow and arrow waiting to be shot by loves dart.

Today I leave the sanctuary of my studio to go north for a week to show the new work in an exhibition in Birmingham. I intend to continue 'a painting a day' while away. I will post the results here on this blog when I get back.

28 Jan 2009 Things

Some things on a shelf. Lets be honest, this is a wonderful excuse for me to enjoy making lovely gooey thick impasto paint textural stuff. Click on image to see details of the original painting.

This will be added to the portfolio of prints that we are publishing of some of the new 'painting a day' paintings.
The prints are produced as a limited edition of just 25 for each image. The aim is to make them very affordable and collectable. The print size is small because most of the new paintings are small. 5" x 7" or 6" x 6", depending on whether the picture is square or oblong. They are on highest quality paper just like my established range of prints. You can see the range that we have printed so far here click for limited edition prints
