Fresh Paint!

Book cover imminent!

A nice little project over the summer kept me well out of mischief and busy at the easel. Below is the first visual put together for the publisher....

And the final result...


Which is mostly Oil on Canvas. We were going for a really romantic feel to this one - with ethereal notes in the mix. More details an publishing dates to follow...

And, of course a BIG FAT THANKS to Sarah-Jane Byrne and James Barton who made it all possible. SJ was a paragon of professionalism, lying very patiently on her lawn for the thick end of an hour while I snapped away (despite the occasional faint whiff of mystery cats biz-niz). Despite making a cruelly cutting comment about the size of my reflector, James quickly redeemed himself as Key Grip... so all's well that ends well ;-)

Cheers you guys!!!!
