Marchesa 2
I just want to say, sorry for not posting in a little while! This was based on a photo I saw on the Wildfox blog (I keep looking on there alot for inspiration - it's awesome). It was Leighton M dressed in the Marchesa lace jumpsuit, I have no idea what season this was from, but it's lovely anyway.
Hope you are all well.

Concept sketch
Hello all! I'm sorry I've not posted much for the last few days - but I should be back in the swing of things now. I entered a piece in the Lloyds TSB 'Art of Nurture' competition, I don't think I'm allowed to post it on here, but I'll let you know if I get through.
The two pictures today are basically mini concept sketches for a much bigger piece I'll be working on. It's going to be a watercolour of Bob Dylan on possibly A2 paper. I'm thinking I will use some ink and pen too. Hope you are all well.

For Landi
This is the canvas I have been working on for Landi this week. It's a picture of her sister and I actually think its pretty cute! It's been a little different working on canvas again, after getting so used to paper. I've used a mixture of acrylic and watercolour for this.
Hope you guys like it :)

Heather
This is a special commission I have been working on for the past few days. It is for Heather from Heather Retro, and she got in touch with me to ask me to create a painting for her Mum's birthday. So, this is what we managed to come up with together.
I have included my original concept sketch (just incase anyones interested in how I start my work - probably not though!).
It was a really fun project for me, and Heather was great to work with! I am so hoping that her Mum will like the painting.
