Merry Christmas !

My annual winter reblog of my snow painting. I'd love to get some time out the city, I've not really had a moment out of Glasgow since I opened the studio in September 2016. Some snow forest would go down a treat.

Free art for anyone that can hook me up with a cabin this winter.

Its my favourite bit of painting, sitting back at the end and putting on music and look at the thing that you just made.

Working on a large night forest painting. Progress is meandering but advancing.

When one idea seemingly just naturally collides with another idea you wonder how much you are a passenger or the driver of the creative process.

Work in progress, Gingko 'plate' test nº2 & Ensō Ink Painting.

One of my Japanese Sumi Ink paintings on a mug. I freakin' love this, waited like forever to get my art on a mug. It makes me very happy. I like mugs, preferably with coffee in them...

Art In 30 Seconds - Shingu River Trees The Shingu River flows through the Wakayama Prefecture, on December 31st I was walking in the evening and this cluster of trees caught my eye. This is a short video of the painting, you can see more on my other chanels.

I saw this bank of trees (the copper ones on the google maps) while I was walking in Japan. It was the 31st of December, New Years eve! They were silver white against the dark hillside and I've been wanting to paint an idea I had since. This isn't the full idea, I deviated, but these are the trees. Work in progress.. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@33.8187843,135.7855971,3a,79.4y,315.37h,97.98t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1svjhuU_KHT1eK3B7Rt5Ydow!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I've made something rather beautiful.

Like thick dark brush strokes the trees are stark against the soft snow. Winter forest in Japan.
