More Free Feathers



My new set of free art is finished and going out into the streets.  I intend to keep this as an on going project as they are fun to make and I can experiment with different looks.  I left one near Bank station yesterday while rushing to catch a train.  I like to think that someone has taken it home with them this weekend and has placed it on a shelf or mantelpiece to enjoy.

The Blue Angel



I'm getting near to finishing this large painting I started sometime ago.  It is a lot darker in real life  than it looks on the screen as the camera has picked up some darker shades and lightened them.  I'm already thinking of painting a lighter version on a smaller canvas.

Small Paintings



While working on a large canvas I stopped to make three other small paintings, each from a small stencil of a feather, with details painted onto linen box canvas measuring 10cm square each.  The large painting is taking some time as it keeps changing and evolving into something different.  The idea I had for it many weeks ago has gradually been lost under layers of paint on canvas.

Albums and Angels



The Long Player exhibition will be ending soon, meaning that the record shop styling of the Gallery will all have to change. 



There are still a few album covers left up for sale but they will all go to make way for a new exhibition.  




You should also visit the Coach and Horses Pub, in the centre of Greenwich market. There you can see my Black Ivy Angel painting together with other artist's work.

Angel Feather



A new project I have been working on is Angel Feather.  The paintings are 7 x 5 inches on canvas board. They are spray painted from a stencil I cut and then the fine detail is hand painted over the top.  They are small details of some of my larger work.  The idea is that if you find one you can keep it as it is Free Art.  I have made five in all and they are all slightly different.  I have hidden them around central London.
