Hi guys I have just started creating a new artwork… I must admit I havnt been creating any larger artworks for a while.. as I have been taking a break and just creating some littlees for trademe… but I have been getting itchy feet to paint a larger landscape…
I have been wanting to create this particular artwork for a while now… and for some reason now just seems to be the right time…
This work will be a mixture of acrylic and my signature 2d texture mixed media, since this has been at the back of my mind it is finally nice to get started on it! So finally this afternoon I put brush to canvas and started it… I will take some photos in the morning to share with you !
Talk soon

If you are travelling to our beautiful country and moving through christchurch try and put a day aside to pop over to this most beautiful Wee French Village by the Sea !!
I am stoked that the Beautiful Gallery Lavaud will be representing my work in that neck of the woods ! This gallery is most beautiful and Robert and Marie are just Lovely !! So if you find yourself spending a little time there please pop in to Gallery Lavaud and check out their varied NZ Art !
