Seated woman with camera - oil painting

Painted late 2022/early 2023 this artwork features a young woman sitting outside, surrounded by plants, holding a vintage Polaroid camera. The sitter is Khairah, and describing herself in her own words..."Above all else, I love creative expression. Whether it's directing actors on set, writing poems, performing covers, or getting into the nitty-gritty of an academic essay- I am happiest when exercising my imagination."
The painting measures 33” x 23” and is done in oils on mounting board.
I thank Khairah for the opportunity to paint her.

Man in his interesting shed - oil painting

This artwork features a local man relaxing in his hand build garden shed. It can be seen that it is quite a large shed, housing a number of armchairs for guests, and features a wood burner for extra comfort. The interior is decorated with various old tools and other antique equipment recovered from house clearances. The man in question is Geoff Rey, a resident of Southampton, UK, and is himself an artist, often using works by the artist Modigliani as inspiration in his works.
Completed in late 2021, this 33” x 23” figure in interior' painting was done in oils on prepared mounting board.
The finished figurative painting can be seen on this link.
