The 30 paintings are made with some or all these natural materials: coffee, wine, beer, blackberries, beets, turmeric, paprika, chlorella, ochre, cobalt, charcoal, pen, collected ocean water, lake water.

Contortionists
~Sold!~ Thanks Erin :) Octopus are amazing contortionists. Contortionists was the theme for Drawing Club, and this is what I came up with. It’s a little painting, and in a different style from my other work on this site, but I have more like this to come. The boots are gold leaf. I love shoes…

Dark Wedding
~Sold~ Yolaine’s lace dress is one of the most interesting and beautiful dresses I’ve seen. I flew to Montreal specially for her wedding to Olivier.

Blue Eyes
~Sold~ I promised myself ‘NO MORE PORTRAITS’, then I painted this one. There’s no sense resisting. My friend Regan does have the most killer blue eyes. Even in black and white, I knew they would be piercing. But I thought the title could be interpreted as being ‘blue’ or feeling the blues, or ‘black &…
