Probably my best bit of paint pushing for a while. It’s got me thinking about colour and process and how to build up a body of work that speaks to each other.

An old oil sketch from 2017 that was inspired by an image of Marie Doro, it led to another painting that wa far more realistic.
Private collection.

Love these theatre paintings of Sickert’s.
Work in progress. Where to go next? Balancing detail and looseness, monochrome/colour.

Sometimes I like to little studies of old master works to challenge myself. This is a copy of Odalisque, 1839, by Francesco Hayez I have been working on this on and off since last year and was determined to finish it. Learnt a little from this experience, especially with glazing. #painting
A favourite corner of a painting if mine
Well, he’s certainly out of my league price wise… I’m a few hundred quid, he’s a few hundred grand!
Agree.
Much better. 2 9s or a 10 is a luxury with our available midfield 343 maximises our quality in the right places. Agyemang is a decent Left Forward with his pace and effort.
The whole day was a good reminder of how limited digital images are when it comes to painting, especially contemporary work with varied textures and layers. The Victor Man works had such a physical presence, incredible.
Evju is making some incredible work, the show is at Kristin Helljegjerde in Tanner Street near Londin Bridge
Yep. If Warne had played 2 in midfield and 2 at the back he’d be crucified. I was looking forward to move beyond the back 3 but you need an alternative way of keeping possession. But aside from that the passing is so so bad.
Dom Dietrich had just gone through the duel stats. Absolutely awful.
