And here is the final piece – a pencil tribute to Harvey 🤍

Harvey was a very special horse. Saying goodbye to him was incredibly hard, and life hasn’t quite felt the same since. He was my friend for over 16 years, and part of my wife’s life for much longer than that. We lost him in June, and I don’t think you ever truly get over losing someone so special, you simply learn how to live alongside the grief.

Thank you Harvey for so many wonderful memories.

A lot of the commissions I create are of pets who have sadly been lost. It’s such a painful experience for their owners, because pets are never “just animals”. They’re friends, family, constant companions, they give us unconditional love and share so much of our everyday lives.

It’s a real honour to be trusted with these kinds of commissions. If my work can bring even a small amount of comfort, help keep memories alive, and act as a fitting tribute to those we’ve lost, then that means everything to me. 🤍

A fun project to wrap up 2025! 🌊🎨
approached me about creating a mural for their family changing room, and with the blue lighting and pool setting, an underwater scene felt like the perfect fit to spark a little imagination.

To keep disruption to a minimum, I cut the wood panelling to size and painted it back at the studio (aka my dining room 😂), before installing it on site.

Adding a splash of imagination and underwater fun to a family-focused space.

Acrylic and emulsion on wood.

This is one of my latest oil paintings — our dog Coco I wanted to practice with oils and try to captured her emotions so that I could bring them to life on the canvas.

Painted in oils, this piece was a fun one to do.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
