Inspiration: Nature
Inspiration comes from many places, people & things. It may be a leaf in a puddle of cold rainwater.
Impressions
I love the fluidity of the colours in this painting. It adds to the depth and the spirit of the horses.
Finding the Zone.
Unfortunately, most people in their work find their attention straying from the task at hand. The "zone" is a mental state in which your thoughts and actions are occurring in complete synchronicity.
The Pet Show

Colour Trends 2020
Colour trends in 2020 step away from the stark and high contrast of the last few years and embrace colour fluidity. This palette is all about ditching harsh lines and contrasts for sandy browns, muted & varied greys, and hazy greens that harmonize perfectly. Don't stress about sticking to a rigorous and confining colour scheme, but instead let one organic shade blend into the next.
Wondering what next for 2021? hopefully, a brighter future!
Faux Finishes, Textures, and Impact
Transform your plain walls into your home's most elegant feature with textured Venetian Plaster. The Venetian Plaster produces an attractive 3-D finish that enhances the light and dark tones of the colour. Authenic Venetian Plaster is not a faux finish. In fact, it's the most authentic veneer wall finish you can have.
Nature Inspires Paint Effects
I always like to keep my work fresh and creative, and doing a faux marble is a prime example of my inspiration to stay relevant and innovative. Creating this collection was a blast, and I pushed my artistic ability.
