I'm so sorry i havent posted in ages!!! been so busy literally had work coming out of my ears. A lots happened since i last posted, for instance, i've sold the cockerel to the pub! I'm so happy, they loved it. Its up in the Cock Inn in Hadleigh now if you wanted to see it. So before i delivered it to them, my lovely friend Manda took some photos for me. (She and her husband do professional wedding photography, you can check it out here:  www.helloromance.co.uk ) So heres the official photos :

Final final piece

This is my last, final final piece i did for art a-levels. I'm pretty chuffed with it, and it was fun to do, and i love painting birds and eyes, so best of both worlds really :) there's still a lot on it i'd change though! Im such a perfectionist, its annoying.

Eyes!!

I LOVE drawing eyes, if i'm bored, eyes are the things i draw. Therefore ive had a lot of practice, after going to school and college!! ;) So, these are a few studies of eyes ive done. Hope you like them :)

I love painting and drawing animals, especially horses (which was all I drew when I was younger) and birds. I've got so much better at it recently which is good :) These are some from my sketchbooks, done in a variety of materials.
