Painting from photographs
I am teaching some workshops and demos on how to paint from photographs.
It isn't about photorealism. Its about abstracting elements you can work with.
You should be able to abstract from any photograph with my magic formula!

Painting The Pandemic Years 2020-2021
The past two years have not been without trial and difficulty. Small works on canvas and paper were my main staple at the time and I enjoyed working this way. The following are a couple of works I completed. Click here for more!

Stay At Home Inspirations
April 2020
Flowers are great for colour and vibrancy. If you are a flower painter you will have loads to do. I am more abstract and really take the ethos of the flower rather than the aesthetic. But they are so good to look at and get colour inspiration from. It will be interesting to see what we develop over the next few weeks of lockdown. I have certainly been inspired by colour and variations in tone and the abstract qualities that flowers possess.
Biking Inspirations
March 2020
Travelled about in the Worcestershire countryside on my bike. Some great vistas to be had of impending rain. Other bike rides included journeying to my studio.
Exhibitions
March 2020
Went into Caspians on the Stratford Road for a pizza and at the back they had a couple of great calligraphic pieces of work. Great work guys. Keep it up!

Elena Thomas
Went over to see Elena in her studio. A great little space in the General Office building which is also a gallery space, located in Stourbridge town centre.
Elena had her exhibition up the week before but sadly I had missed it. She had a few fabulous pieces available to show tough, large watercolour and graphite works. Brilliant!
Exploring the motif in an abstract and random way.
