Making of "Magma"

The attached video shows the months of work that went into producing “Magma”. Thankfully for you, it has been reduced down to approximately 7 minutes with the aid of timelapse recording. The sound is just background music so there’s no need to listen with the sound on. “Magma” is 180 x 30 cm, painted using burgundies, reds, creams, and beiges to match the clients bedroom decor and artwork. Unfortunately, the video doesn’t show the making of the Elm and Plywood frame by Tom Cooper Fine Furniture. It starts with undercoating and finishes with 5 coats of resin. The final frame shows “Magma” in its new home. If there is anything that you are particualarly interested in, please do ask. Full details of “Magma” can be found on my “Commissions” page.

Willows Animal Sanctuary

I am pleased to announce that I am donating one of my paintings to help save Willows Animal Sanctuary http://www.willowsanimals.com/m/mtop.html?fromGiftAidDeclaration=. 

Due to Corona Virus, Willows Sanctuary, near Aberdeen had to close to visitors and the charity is struggling to make enough money to feed and care for their rescued animals.  If you want to help please do have a look at their auction site: https://www.facebook.com/helpsavewillows/ The auction runs from 7pm on 29 April to 7pm on 3 May.

This is the specific link to my painting: https://www.facebook.com/101203151552178/posts/119575196381640/?d=n

It still needs to cure before being signed, the final coat applied and then framed. The auction winner gets to name the piece.

There are some amazing items for auction including vegan biscuits, votch watch, signed albums, books signed by David Thewlis, Emma Thompson, Nadiya Hussein, David Mitchell, Stephen Fry and Michaela Strachan.
