Painting - Stromness Harbour from the Pier Arts Centre


Finally finished this painting for Hanna and Iain's housewarming, after layers of repainting. Hoping the primer has held up. Now to get to the framers!

LC Illustrations

This year I was involved in helping to illustrate the brilliant Library Cat: The Observations of a Thinking cat by Alex Howard. http://blackandwhitepublishing.com/shop/library-cat.html

This has led to potential involvement in other projects which I am very excited about. I thought I'd put up a few illustrative drafts and ideas from the past year, none of these sketches are actually in the book (to see the finished ones feel free to grab yourself a copy!)



















Drawing project

I've been feeling out of practice lately so I decided to draw something every day, or work on my piece for my sister and her family. The first portrait I did was utter poop, but I didn't spend long on it and the first few are always going to be frustrating. Anyway, here are a few of the drawings I did, starting with the earliest at the top. I think this has helped me to regain some confidence, particularly in experimenting with materials which I used to love doing.

























And here's how Hanna and Iain's painting is developing so far (still got a ways to go yet):
