ORIGIN 02 -LION

The weekend that has just passed us marked the two month countdown until my first solo exhibition, 'Origin.' Therefore what better way to tempt you all into attending the private view than a new promotional video with a brand new original that will be a part of the show.

Have a look at one of my latest experiments and feel welcome to attend the evening. If you are unable to make the evening then not to worry the exhibition will be running for the month of October at the Exposure gallery, London.

Oh, and there will be a few surprises in store.

Today's update is a self initiated hair centric piece titled, 'Beard'.

BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS

The title of this blog post I feel is the most accurate to describe this piece. Pictured above is not only my first painted portrait titled, 'Reflection' but my entry for the National Portrait Gallery BP Portrait Award 2011.

I can honestly say that this painting really pushed my abilities, there was even a point where I thought that this would be something that I would have to put on the back burner while I practiced using acrylics. I persevered and luckily got the result that I was hoping for, the piece even made a trip to Wales with me in order to put the time in to get it ready for the designated hand-in day.

I now await the judges decision as to whether my attempt will make it into the exhibition, I assure you I'll be keeping everything crossed.
