A private commission for inspiration in the gym and weights room - three days

 

 

catamaran tattoo

A traditional Polynesian decorative paint effect for a traditional Polynesian style boat. Three days to draw and epoxy paint.

...and the boat gets taken apart for transport to the harbour...

...and put back together again!

illustration commission

 A brown-hooded kingfisher coloured pencil illustration for which I was given total artistic 'licence'. And so I worked into the background a Celtic knot I've been wanting to figure out.

Chintsa East Beach Entrance Mural touch up & new mural

In 2014 I completed a series of murals at our local beach entrance - see the original blog post 

This year I solicited funding from my community to re-paint the main facing wall with a Kolam designed by Hema Kannan of The Lotus Shakti, including the original monkeys from the previous mural playing with a bottle of bubbles and a haiku that I wrote for a friend. I also touched up one of the inner walls with new pinks and oranges...

new work: studio view

This is 'PRONOIA' - photographed upon completion in my studio. As I painted this I realised I was drawing a variation of a sigil that dropped in on my satellite feelers in 2022 (see B&W sketch below) which I drew to symbolise how we are born out of and into Love and Original Beauty (and not 'original sin'). I had done another version of this symbol in a painting in 2023.
