Bold, expressive brushstrokes bring this elephant to life, with layers of rich blue contrasted against the warmth of the ochre and burnt-orange background. The heavily worked surface gives the painting an almost tactile quality, creating a sense of strength, presence and quiet intensity. 🧡

Rich, earthy brushstrokes and layered textures give this still life a wonderfully tactile quality. The cool blue-grey fish sit against the warmth of the wooden board and yellow lemons, creating a lively contrast that makes the simple arrangement feel fresh and full of character. 💙
