Spring 🌸

When I was younger I would repeatedly dream of things in the sky. Planes and flying machines and blue horizons.

A little series I started last summer.

A view from our room at the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore, looking out across the Singapore Strait towards Indonesia. Cargo ships sit waiting on the water, their silhouettes fading out to the hazy horizon until they become too indistinct to count.

The foreground area is occupied by Gardens by the Bay, home to much exciting birdlife.

Time to stoke the faintly smouldering embers of this Tumblr I think. Let’s start with some paint sketches. Two of my dog Aya, produced in January when I was taking part in Strada Easel’s paint everyday challenge.

My Old Man's workshop is very 'The Last of Us'. Exquisitely cluttered and grimy (sorry Dad 😁), ivy creeping in through the windows and weaving across the shelves. Painted a tiny glimpse. 🌿🔨 #art #painting #sketchbook #paint #stilllife #watercolour #workshop #tools #watercolor #moleskine #moleskine_arts #postapocalypse #illustrator
