Iconic 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne with ostentatious tail fins – Our Ref AP450 If I was asked to choose only one car out of all the makes and models ever built, then it would be the 1957 Chevrolet Belair. It was an Iconic model. But when it comes to being garish, ostentatious and even over the […]

On My Easel – Old Rusty – 21 Feb 2019
1929 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe – Our Ref OP451 This old 1929 Chevrolet was one of the many variants in the Chevy Stable. There were 3 and 5 window coupes, drop-hoods, 4 door sedans and LDVs (or pickups). 1929 was an interesting year. In Chicago the great gangster shootout now know as the Valentine’s Day […]
On My Easel – Dodgy – 21 Feb 2019
1934 Dodge Pickup – Our Ref OP452 This 9 x 12 inch oil painting depicts a blue 1934 Dodge light delivery vehicle. In USA they would call this a truck or a pickup and here in South Africa it is called a “Bakkie”. Not sure what to do with the background. Whether I should create […]
SOLD – Lady Walking in a grassy field
Stephen Conway of Easy Oil Painting inspired this landscape work on a 200 mm x 500 mm stretched canvas. It is similar to Man Walking but instead of using yellow and black to create the greens I used blues and yellows in this one. The wonderful thing about painting is that the final artwork often […]
SOLD – Man Walking
There’s an Irish chap by the name of Stephen Conway. He does some really good stuff including a lot of tutorials on You Tube. This Landscape Oil Painting is based on one of his tutorials. My man walking looks a little older than Stephen’s man, but that’s the beauty of oil painting, any painting for […]

On My Easel – Door – 15th February 2019
Sometimes, no, make that all times, when you think a project will be easy, it turns out to be quite a challenge. I was sent an image of a milk bottle outside a red door. Throwback to the days when you were awoken by the clinking of bottles and the rattle of the milkman’s lorry. […]
On My Easel – Bull Elephant – 14th February 2019
This beautiful Bull Elephant was photographed by me in 2015 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. This is an oil on canvas measuring around 40 cm x 30 cm. Lots still to do but this will be my masterpiece. (For Now) You may also interested in 4 Baby Elephants created for a baby boy’s room. You may like to see […]
On My Easel – Tobias Toucan – 14 February 2019
Progress on Tobias Toucan has been slow, as other projects have taken priority. He is back on the easel as I tackle the vegetation and his feet. He is such a beautiful creature so I hope I do him justice.
