This is doing the rounds again:D
Before and After, show faces of the negative effects on faces of cocaine, alcohol and crack, and the positive effect of art.

Wanting to make beautiful work quickly descended in a skeleton in an acid yellow sea

I had other plans for this yellow panel but have just launched in to this, with paint flying. Plans often don’t feel right the next day.
Very yellow panel with swirling paint strokes Skeleton in the centre

Well well, my painting, Idai 2019, has been acquired by the Government Art Collection. What a great experience it been working with them, I am very happy with this news.

I’m suddenly into yellow in a big way. Have prepared four panels today, can’t wait to start slopping paint around. The annoying part of working with oil, is the waiting. #watchingpaintdry
To panels become one, like in that dreadful spice girls song, yeah.

Just joined United Artists For Climate in their global campaign by contemporary artists committed to the environment for COP30, with Art For Change and LabVerde. Go to my Instagram for further info.
My painting of some buildings on fire as a result of climate affected drought in 2022, emblazoned with the United Artists For Climate badge.

So cold in here this is required every 15 mins.
Besocked feet rammed hard up against a fan heater set so high, it smells of burning wires.

Only went out to blow away the cobwebs, and the sea got me.

The sunlight hitting a drawing by Luke Hannam. It only lasted a few seconds
Drawing of a horse made of heads and with heads, in a frame, a teardrop of light hitting one face

New perspective on things.
Black skeleton, violet sea. It’ll make sense soon I hope.

It maybe goodbye to this forever. Going to be looked at by some big eyes, 🤞exciting.

You all missed this by lounging in your beds. Dawn today at the Norfolk coast.
Bank of dappled cloud l, all the pinks in a strip of light, sea of ink, black silhouetted rocks and beacon. I mean, you can’t get the sense of wonder unless you’re there, so get up earlier and go and see next time. Not sure who painted this but they really know their colour wheel. Striped sky with ship. Clouds masquerading as a mountain range in Nepal, when really they are heading to Gt Yarmouth, like this ship.

Dawn.
Our house, obscured by trees, a viburnum in pastel autumnal garb, dawn just breaking.

Shall I strap him in the car and take him out?
Wolfie has made a bed in our angel’s car seat. Think he’d like to go to pets at home?

A new work, title pinched from a @bylinetimes.bsky.social article a couple of days ago. 🧵

Sold this ivy leaden bonce, painted a few years ago.
The Thinking Tree, oil on wood, 2021. Painting of a bare tree, swamped with ivy which looks like the profile of a head. True story, it lives nearby.
