I got to try a crazy #limitedpalette with this, using only cadmium orange 🟠, ready-mixed violet🟣 and titanium white⚪️. I think it turned out funky, although I’d love to continue this later on. But once the painting has dried, I will have forgotten about these feelings!

Naomi Hester and her brother Maximilian Altman were the only two cats I've had, as I discovered I was allergic, shortly after getting them! She was with me many years.

Latest portrait. Oil on board. Done from life (but cleaned up in the studio). #oilportrait
After watching the latest Stephen Bauman video on YouTube, had a go at replicating the method. With a big filbert and a single colour. #oilpainting #oilportrait

Officially done with this piece 😅 I’m actually finally got sick of looking at it…

Nothing is ever finished tbh, only abandoned at interesting times 😜. Every piece is like an exercise of building on what works well, realizing what still needs work (but discovered too late and unsalvageable 😅)
