Oil Painting Projects
A collection of original oil paintings inspired by people, stories and subjects that have captured my imagination.
Each painting is created by hand, with time spent building layers of colour, texture and detail to capture not only the subject itself, but something of its character and atmosphere. From cultural icons and sporting figures to artists and personalities who have influenced generations, these are paintings created because the subject means something.
