Against the grain should be a way of life!

It's so strange but i've been asked this question quite a few times!Why do you do what you do?Or don't you ever get bored painting?!
Maybe i'm alone when my answer to this is simply,because "I FUCKING LOVE DOING IT"
It's so sad, that for starters i have to actually verbalise it and the more saddening part of it is why do people have to ask that question.I'm my world do what you love to do or shut the fuck up!

For ever second,minute,hour,week,month I've spent labouring over my artwork the ironic part is,it never felt that long!It was truly enjoyable,liberating,fulfilling!!!Whenever i paint i feel uplifted like i'm in my little bubble  of bright colours and eclectic designs.Never has there been a day where I've had to get up and groan at the work in store for me!Guess that find your calling or following your passion.

Against the grain should be a way of life,
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight.

If that sound familiar its the lyrics to one of my favourite bands Nickelback and the song is-If today was your last day!

I've started a really simple wall mural to capture these profound lyrics,pics to come soon!!

Leonardo da vinci quote

Came across this delightful quote today by none other than the great  Leonardo da vinci.I must have mentioned this at some point in my previous posts but speaking of Leonardo da vinci please watch the BBC film called "The man who wanted to know everything" its a documentary on Leonardo himself absolutely inspiring.

The man who wanted to know everything

Owlies

As i've mentioned in quite a few posts in the past i have a little owl obsession!and being an artist it allows me to create designs that fulfil my little obsession.Here's one of the newer Owl kettle designs i've done.It had an owl couple on one side and 3 little owl babies on the other side!!
i've also played around with a more sepia tone palate for this design!
