Accepted into RHA-Royal Hibernian Academy Exhibition 2016
Proud to announce my painting entitled "Georgie sideshow Ramone" was accepted for the Royal Hibernian Academy annual exhibition this year which opens March 2016. The RHA is Irelands finest and largest exhibition to take place annually with over 3000 works submitted so I feel very fortunate, honoured and overwhelmed to be exhibiting amongst some of Irelands finest.
Upcoming solo show consisting of drawings, prints and paintings which will take place in the Framewerk gallery which is curated by Dawn Richardson who is the gallery owner which is located on the Newtonards road, Belfast.
Long awaited website design finally finished. I constructed this website using JOOMLA software which I have to say was quite challenging and a bit head wrecking at times but at the same time really interesting and fantastic software.
My painting "OFFICE WORKER" was accepted into the Royal Ulster Academy which is to be exhibited in the Ulster museum in Belfast ,14th October 2016 up until the 8th January 2017. A great privilege to be exhibiting amongst some of Irelands finest Irish Artists.
"Sleepwalker" painting process
Preliminary stages of new work showing my under drawing and line work. I have blocked in the rough under drawing using charcoal as well as graphite and white chalk in places. This painting was featured on Channel 4's House of the Year 2013 in Grand designs TV show hosted by Kevin McCloud.
Using charcoal after roughing in the main drawing I will then continue to paint the ground work in and plan on completing this painting using "The Zorn Palette" which consists of 4 colours Cadmium red, Ivory black, White and Yellow Ochre.
