Beti Ethel – the most beautiful lurcher

This is the start of a new portrait of Beti Ethel. She's a lurcher cross; only a few months old and is a real stunner. I'm using coloured pencil and marker pen on plywood.

Munduruku tribespeople portraits

I've rolled up all these portraits and sent them off to the Amazon Beat Event today. Hopefully they'll work well as deco for the venue and maybe they'll even raise a little bit of money...?

I painted this today for Rich & Bev. The brief was I painted this today for Rich & Bev.
The brief was to bring a bit of seaside warmth as a backdrop to their hot tub.
I think it turned out nicely. 
Makes me want a deckchair and a pint. 

If you have an idea for a mural in your home, get in touch.

Is this vandal proofing any good? Let's hope me a Is this vandal proofing any good? 
Let's hope me and Ginge don't have to find out 🤞🏻
The stuff is called Euroshield and it creates an invisible barrier to protect your work. 
It's sacrificial though, so if you wipe off any tagging then you need to reapply 2 layers ...

This is a couple of years old now, but it's still one of my favourite murals to date. 
I love the limited palette, the dreamy feel and the dappled light. 
All enhanced by the beautiful location in Cornwall.

The Enchanted Woods at night was a great venue and the perfect place to swing our lights. 
Great music, amazing lighting installations and a very happy mushy crowd of people.

I painted this a few years ago now and it's still I painted this a few years ago now and it's still love of my favourites. 
It was lovely not to have to rush this and to put all my time into creating all the gradients and reflections that make the image pop. 
I get these effects by layering multiple shades of the same colour, overlayed with multiple transparent shades. It's how I love to paint.
We stayed inside the caravan that I was painting and we had 400 acres of land to explore. It was beautiful.

This mural was made in exchange for our stay. 
Do you have a swap in mind?
