Felt Cushions, Paintings and Art on the Prom 2011

On Sunday 4th September I went to Felixstowe, Suffolk to display at 'Art on the Prom'.


The day was very successful, however the downpour of rain at 3pm was not great!


Here are some pictures and some of my most recent work...

Me at 'Art on the Prom' Felixstowe 2011.

Martello Tower (Felixstowe) image inspired canvas painting below.

Cushion below inspired by 'Mannings Amusements' in Felixstowe.

From the day I also managed to do some portrait miniature painting.

2.4 x 3.6 cm

5cm Round

Below is another abstract canvas that I painted earlier this year of the Southwold lighthouse, Suffolk and from that, it inspired me to make a felt cushion.

I recently also made another felt cushion of my parents home...

Carefully cut, placed, stitched by hand and machine - You will not find another one like it!

Paintings, Illustrations and Portraits in Suffolk

I love to draw and paint in a variety of styles.

I also paint portrait miniatures, the painting below is of my friend Dasha and I at Halloween, hence the unusual clothing and face paint!

Full image of the portrait miniature - 5.5 x 6.7 cm

This is a very small painting!

Portrait miniature painting is a very delicate process.  If you look closely, you can see that the painting is made up of hundreds upon thousands of tiny dots.  You build up layers of paint in sections to create definition and the image.

As you can see, that my styles of art vary.

I love to draw locations, buildings and anywhere of local interest in Suffolk.  Yet I also love to paint portraits.

If you wish to have any style of my art commisioned, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further.
