Below is a painting which I created as a background for a series of House Concerts running as part of the Hostry Festival in Norwich.
I am really pleased with how it has come out and have had a lot of positive feedback so far.
Enjoy.

Having just finished my submission to paint a new front cover for Norwich's Hostry Festival brochure I thought it would be nice to share.

It took me a surprisingly short amount of time (a few evenings) and I really enjoyed the looseness of the painting as a sharp contrast to the high detail work I have been doing recently.

My image is based on the fantastic photograph by Paul Tyagi which is currently the front cover for the festival brochure.

I am currently in the middle of my second painting of a pub scene which I am hoping to expand into much more in the future.

Also, I have been experimenting with silver precious metal clay and will soon be posting some photos of what I have done.
