Serenity

I've had some projects on the back burner and today I've managed to complete a couple of them. Next month I'll be introducing some panoramic canvases to my beginner's oil painting workshops. Here's the AyoubArt project for Capel St Mary on 6th July - a gentle seascape called 'Serenity'. This is for absolute beginners and is an ideal painting subject to hang in your own home or give as a gift. It's hard to see in the small image, but the sky has some twinkling stars, theres some gentle water movement and a couple of gulls checking out the lonesome yacht.

Pop Art - Can you guess who it is yet?

Another painting subject was introduced in December.........POP ART. 2 students booked a private class so they could make their own portraits of their idols. The painting subjects were selected a week before the class as I have to be 110% sure that we can produce a good Pop Art image. The ladies had a ball making these images but were dubious that their finished results would remotely resemble the superstars. At the half way mark I simply took their canvases away from them, moved back several yards, held them up and waited for their gasps of delight, which duly followed. It is VERY hard to visualise your Pop Art when you are working at such close quarters - but put a few feet between 'you' and 'it' and all becomes clear. Can you guess who these stars, shown above, are?

Here's one of my own Pop Art commissions, sold just before Christmas
