This blog is intended for reviews of galleries, exhibitions, ideas related to art and inspiring quotations. However, if you look back in my archive you can view some of my own original artwork and if I make any more work it will be shown here too. ____________________________________My personal blog .

Still working on this one a bit. For once (not counting the profile views) I wasn’t looking at the camera.
I’ve painted this portrait because I felt I was missing a more ‘vulnerable’ view.
Hopefully this one, on a clear plate, will fit in well with the rest of my collection.
This plate is has “Candyfloss” printed on the back of it and the colours are all pastel so I decided it would suit a stereotypically summer-y portrait.
I am pretty happy with the resulting portrait although I might touch up the hair a bit another day.
Back in the studio!
My current W.I.P because I haven’t done a left profile view yet.
It’s coming along!
Liz in profile next to Queen Liz in profile.
Not completely sure about this one because of the shape the image ended up. I could always extend it and paint the rest in but it was supposed to just be a glimpse.
Close up of another work in progress, once again it is the hair that is taking up all my time!
A work in progress. Hair is infuriating.
Clear plate and the most detailed miniature of myself I have ever painted.
It’s an attempt at transparency in a portrait (hence the plate) and I have painted on both sides to give the viewer as information much as possible. The thing is, you are still only seeing me how I want you to and I can never fully represent myself in just one painting.
This is a precious piece; giving life to an otherwise mundane plate.
Latest painting!
A view of me in my hat that I wear a lot of the time in this cold weather but rarely photograph because it’s off when I’m inside. Just another facet.
From the side, it’s a shard of plate.
