Tiger (pencil). Copied from a photograph sometime in my early teens. I was always pleased with how it turned out, it was a lot bolder than most of my drawings at that time.
Trees (gouache) c. 1991. This was from a begginer's art class at adult ed. that I took before I started my GCSEs. My Mum liked it, so I framed it and gave it to her for her birthday.
Bubbles (gouache) c. 1991. From a photo, again pre-GCSE. I was quite pleased with it, even though something about the face is not quite right.
Toffee (pencil) This was a sketch from life, that I probably did around the time I was studying for my A-levels
Berries (acrylics) My art teacher persuaded me try acrylics towards the end of my gcse course, so that is what I used for most of my painting after that. This was done sometime during the A-level course. The composition is a bit odd, but it's one of my Mum's favourites so she has it on her wall.
Amaryllis in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe (acrylics) for my A-level study on O'Keeffe
Phoenix and child (pencil) c. 1996. One of my few drawings from imagination, it just popped into my head as an image for how I saw my inner child at the time
Elrond (watercolour) 2005. My Mum was learning how to paint portraits in a watercolour class, so I wanted to try it out too.
Mum (watercolour) 2005. My second watercolour attempt, from a photograph.
Copies of other artists' works
Georgia O'Keeffe - poppies (acrylics) another piece of my A-level critical study, a copy of one of my favourite O'Keeffe pictures.
from Botticelli's Birth of Venus (chalk and charcoal) c. 1996. I just felt like playing with charcoal one day, and I like this painting so decided to try to draw it
