This Lancashire cottage by a stream is the third of the commissions from my in-laws, the second of which was completed over a year ago.
When the honorable Mrs Gray, long suffering wife, saw this she immediately liked it (unusual in itself!) and said that it used colours very similar to those used by my friend Trevor Lingard.
Cheers mate, much appreciated for your influence, and watching you and talking with you has encouraged me to risk a bit more. Between him and Gosha (hey, Gosha, get your website sorted out! I want to link to you), my uncle and his girlfriend, I’m surrounded by phenomenal talented creatives!
Please like my page on facebook/doodleopus. Don’t forget, click ‘like’ a second time and choose ‘get notifications’. I will be running competitions to win originals of my artwork as well as artists materials.
You can also ask me any technique questions, or about how I go about the art.
I’m not so good at completing stuff, but its pretty important to my own personal development to complete more, and spend more time drawing as it helps me focus on the here and now. Long story…involves some recent theological research! Anyway, this is my promise to myself to get all those pictures finished and completed that are only half done! (of course I’ll still be starting new stuff as well).
So…Dad needs one more after this
A book needs illustrating
College needs a logo (as urgency)
That Liverpool doodle needs finishing (not that I’m pretty scared of doing the Liver building you understand…
Still, perseverance and finishing stuff!
