This Oil painting is 900 mm x 600 mm stretched canvas of 280gsm. It is going to take time, so do come back from time to time for an update . The painting is based on a photograph taken in Namibia in 2019. I’m brave enough to tackle most challenges. You’re invited to send me […]

I recently read about a young chap who inherited his Grandpa’s 1950’s Chev. He is busy restoring the old car but it’s a race against time. His Gran has a few months to live and he wants to take the old lady for one last drive. Here’s hoping he gets it finished in time. This […]
