UK Artist - Watercolour, Charcoal & Acrylic Commissions

When you are invited round to dinner at your neighbours home you don’t expect to have to leave early !!! Having just finished a magnificent Spanish Tapas followed by an amazing Mexican Chilli. It was the last thing we expected that evening to have to visit our daughter in hospital.That phone call certainly brought a swift end to a very pleasant evening. We didn’t even have time to say thank you properly. So, after the crisis was over what could I do to show our appreciation?

It started with a late-night scroll through concert footage—sweat-slicked performers, crowds lost in adoration. I sketched the eye first, my preferred approach, letting the persona emerge organically. Hours blurred into dawn; charcoals smudged, pastels built depth. When it was finally finished and I stepped back, I felt two things at once: pride and unease.
