Whats happening in 2012

Hi all,

Just to let you know what I’m up to this year.

FEBRUARY,

Just completed a portrait of Kidane, an artist friend of mine who was born in the Cayman Islands and is now resident in Chesterfield.

Kidane has completed over 5,000 portraits in his career and was the winner of the first “Celebrity Portrait Competition” at Art in the Garden, with his large and distinctive portrait of the actor Bruce Jones, AKA Les Battersby, of Coronation Street.

My portrait of Kidane is to be submitted to the “BP Portrait Award”, An annual exhibition held at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

This hugely prestigious exhibition is very well subscribed to, last year 2,372 works from 69 countries were submitted and only 58 works hung.

A very long shot I know so wish me well.

MARCH 4th

Going to Florence to start preliminary work on a large commissioned painting for a local client who has a passion for the City and also Ferraris.

It will be either a traditional view of the city as seen fro Piazza Michelangelo or an imaginative rendition of a Ferrari 360 Modena doing something strange in Florence.

The magazine “International Artist” MAY/JUNE issue, available in April, will have a feature on my exotic Italian car paintings and a more recent preoccupation, related sculptures of cars featured in my paintings. Plus some illustrations of my working methods.
