The red umbrella - silhouette, by Drew Lockhart

 

There is something about a bright red umbrella on a dark rainy day that makes me feel good. Its like sticking two fingers up to mother nature, saying ” You may not want to be bright and sunny today, but that doesn’t mean i can’t.”

This is a simple vector graphic made from shadow and light. The hint of colour, i hope, suggests to you that beneath the dark lies colour and beauty.

Eyes- painting steps by Drew Lockhart

The progression of my painting.

I loved painting this portrait, her eyes captivate and draw me in. It not quite finished yet, i still have the bead  work to do on her hands and forehead, but i thought i would post it to highlight what is for me the best part about painting. That is creating an image and making it come alive. The joy and inner contentment that i get from painting is why i put brush to canvas or stylus to glass ( for my digital painting). The painting is my world,  which i can create in my own way. It is a glimpse in to my soul and a window into my dreams

Looking down from the De la war pavilion, towards Eastbourne

This was one of my first acrylic paintings, its on Crawford and Black acrylic paper, which is great to start with, but does limit the amount of brushwork you can do.  I do tend to over emphasise colours, making them more vivid, but i like it and it pleases my eye.
