So I've been away for quite a while, trying to recoup after my tedious anatomy exams.... Having a pathologist asking your random anatomical and physiological questions is rather stressful. In any case, here are a few sketched I've done recently... A little bit different! Enjoy.

 

'Moira' - acrylic on salvaged wood. It's not finished - but it was much needed. I've had a rather crappy few days and instead of studying the pancreas, Moira puffed into my head firstly in sketch form, and then into a painting. Based upon the very sensual and overtly sexual 'maid' character from the American horror story 'murder house' series. Enjoy.

Time for some anatomy...

I must apologize for my lack of posts/drawings/paintings. I can assure you all that more will be on the way in a couple of weeks, but at the moment I have anatomy exams in early April and for now revision and study is my priority. I can't wait to get back to painting, I also have some exciting commission work on which I'm looking forward to sharing. 

'Let them eat cake' work in progress. Acrylic on reclaimed wood (the back of an old wardrobe I do believe). It's about 1x1.5 ft in size. Much more to be done, but as I am away for the next 6 days on a course for work, she will have to remain unfinished for now. TBC...

And another from today. Not the best photo - but never mind. (Yes I need to work on my typography)

'The end of Winter' - acrylic on salvaged wood.

I like to use reclaimed pieces of wood to paint on, to give something that otherwise might have ended up on a fire a new lease of life. Only issue being that the surface is usually quite rough, and it's difficult to get a highly polished finish (or it is for me anyways). Practice, practice practice!

Day 5 - post-it not challenge

Painting today did not go well.. therefore I have nothing new to show other than this. Bare with me, tomorrow is another day!
