It’s not finished yet but I thought I’d post the progress. Started this one over the weekend. My #Outlander fan girl side is showing up in my art now. 😅😂 Couldn’t resist painting the gorgeous Jamie Fraser as played by @samheughan It’s going decently I think a few areas left to focus on. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDbtOcH9TP/?igshid=1kh1dbw0tvez1

I’d like thank @rickygervais fashion forward cat for inspiring my latest #oilpainting. When I saw his photo of Pickle modeling the “Winter Collection” I couldn’t help but paint her. The lighting was fantastic and her expression...priceless. Looking forward to the Spring Collection. https://www.instagram.com/p/CK_y8l_HJrn/?igshid=gt833csf8y8v

Still in progress (aren’t they all? 😂🤪).

I’ve been contemplating doing a series on Celtic mythology for awhile. This is a quickly knocked out painting I did a while back representing the Morrigan. Needs a bit of work but the concept is there I think. I find ancient Celtic history fascinating. 💜 . . . . . #morrigan #oilpainting #celtic #celticmythology #ancientcelts #irish #ireland #crow #triskelion #triskele #smoke #transformation #goddess #shapeshifter #art #goddessart #celticart #history #mythology #originalartwork #art #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/CK6793PnlE5/?igshid=ex9fdx5ffec8

Knocked out a little birthday pressie for my brother. His cat Ziggy. Guess why he’s called Ziggy. 🤔 . . . . #catpainting #catart #cat #kitty #ziggy #ziggystardust #bowie #davidbowie #bowiecat #ziggycat #painting #oiloncanvaspainting #oilpainting #originalart #prtportraits #commissionsopen https://www.instagram.com/p/CKkNRpeHUyM/?igshid=ntuyprecyewl

Finished! At least I think I’m going to stop painting it now. 😂😂 . I think... . . I’ll probably work on it some more. . . I’m mental like that. . . . #petpainting #petpaintings #staffordshirebullterrier #staffy #dog #dogpainting #commission #commissionsopen #artist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artsistsofinstagram #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #oiloncanvaspainting #petart #petmemorial https://www.instagram.com/p/CKSOx16D3BM/?igshid=vu8hgzgjbofs

Switching gears a bit today. Need a break in the other painting. Wondering at this point if I go for something where the colours aren’t fully flushed out or go for a more realistic look. . . . . #painting #dog #staffy #staffordshirebullterrier #dogpainting #petpainting #petportrait #petportraits #commissionsopen #oiloncanvas #oilpainting. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKOiknjnr6/?igshid=1ec0bmlp2z6ek

The first days work on a new commission.

Something a bit more abstract than normal. Sometimes it’s just fun to play with colour. . . . . #flower #abstract #abstractart #oilpainting #originalart #originalartwork #artistsoninstagram #flowerpainting #colourful #colorful #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #colorfulart https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-jpJvj9aq/?igshid=16k4j5izvaytn

Finally finished this challenging painting. 422 Refugees on a boat hoping for a better life. This one took a lot out of me. Just thinking of all those lives. All those people who’s world has completely turned upside down. It’s heartbreaking. It certainly makes me think about how much I have to be grateful for. . . . . . #refugees #boat #boatpeople #refugeecrisis #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #originalwork #artist #artoftheday #fineart #instaartoftheday #originalartwork #modernart #instaart #oiloncanvas #gallery #painting #instaartist #instaabstract #figurativeart https://www.instagram.com/p/CHyj7nIjL8F/?igshid=g7cgjmb9tgog

The Green Shower. Maybe I should call it the #metoo shower. There’s never enough soap to wash away where I can still feel unwanted touch. The water will never be hot enough to make it feel clean. It certainly can’t wash the memory away. It can’t take away the aftermath of friends choosing sides, believing one and not the other’s story. Saying things like “These kinds of things happen when people drink.” Because that makes of all better right? These kinds of things happen. They just happen...except they shouldn’t, ever, to anyone. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqNS2rjPda/?igshid=7d61620fqfg5

A work in progress. Lost Boys. Two brothers living in the street, their suffering is incredibly tragic yet seeing how the older one cares for the younger even in sleep is beautiful.
