Honey (and Honey). So it’s rare for me to do commissions or pets but This is the 2nd combo in a few months! Little Honey is no longer with us sadly, but she was a sweet subject to keep looking at. And the mini Honey in the background is keeping me amused. It was a fun and lovely job to attempt to do her justice! 🙂 🐱

An experiment/exercise to try a few things, resulting in a vague likeness of Audrey Flack, and a 🦜 , after a photo by Judy Olausen from 1980 I believe.
Both interesting women/work … and I wish I new the name of the 🦜 - also amazing I’m sure.
Bigger than usual for me: 16x20” oil on panel

Details from some abstract paintings also currentl

Details from some abstract paintings also currently up @neighbourhood.pottery. I’ve always liked these but have never exhibited them before.
Although so different from what I’ve been painting more recently, they actually derive from the same underlying thoughts and ideas about accumulation, build up over time and certain ‘shoulds’.
(And If you look hard enough you’ll see a toaster … ha no not really 🙂)

Hidden 1,2,3 and 4.
Acrylic on paper. All approx 6x9”

Unearthed some sketchy/questionable acrylics from

Unearthed some sketchy/questionable acrylics from back in early covid lockdown days when I started turning more to painting … this one of a scene from J Cassavetes’ Gloria 1980 w the unique and inspiring Gena Rowlands, who died last week. It’s not a good painting! But I sort of like it. 🙂
and the combo of finding it, her death, that particular film and thinking of that weird bad time that also freed me to paint is a heady mix. So I guess I’m glad I un-earthed it 🙂 There are some beautifully composed scenes in that film- maybe I’ll give it another go…
