Indulgence

This is one of my first oil paintings.  I painted it thinking it would look great in a 'man cave' or a night club.  It's quite a large painting measuring 40 x 30 x 1.5 inches.

'Indulgence' can be bought via:

And this is how it would look in a room:


Laid Back

This diptych oil painting is painted on floating canvases, which means the sides of the canvases go in at a 45 degree angle.  The size of the artwork is 18 x 24 x 2 inches for each canvas, so when the canvases are butted up together the total measurement is 36 x 24 x 2 inches.

This artwork is now SOLD.



I think this diptych painting looks better with an inch or so between each canvas.  This is how it would look in a room:

Tripping the Light (Fantastic)

Inspired by my love for graffiti, this is my new abstract artwork.  I have used acrylic paint and had a ton of fun seeing how the colours melt together...  the close up shots of the acrylic make the paint look almost edible.

This artwork is now SOLD.

Tiffany

I'm feeling the Christmas spirit creeping in...  I wonder what could be inside?

On the desk today...

Dreaming of Rain

As I live in Dubai, rain is quite a novelty.  I painted this one on a blistering hot day (50 degrees C) last summer.  It has become my husband's favourite, so only prints are available of this one:

The original is painted using black ink, on heavy weight watercolour paper 300 g/ms.

Day Dreaming

Did this quick black and white painting some time ago.  Used black ink on 11 inch x 15 inch paper...  Looks a bit like Kate Moss.

A print of this artwork can be bought from my Etsy shop:
