Tea for Two, oil on canvas, 36x36 inches. I often place my subjects into unreal and artificial looking environments. I love the contrast of vastly different worlds coming together. #canadian #painting #surreal #artist #creative #abstract #art

Self Portrait, oil on canvas, 36x48 inches. When I painted this self-portrait a few years ago I was somewhat thrown off by how much I looked like my late father. A bittersweet moment. #canadian #painting #creative #artist #portraiture #beard #denim #oilpainting

Everything Has Changed, oil on canvas, 20x16 inches. One of my first attempts at 'traditional' style portraiture. Inspired by Renaissance portraits with scenic backdrops I used my previous abstract shapes to transform the environment and merged two distinct personalities on one canvas. #painting

That's a wild look. I've visited the cathedral my whole life whenever I'd see my grandparents in Wells. Always had a fascination with it. As interesting as those colours are, it just feels wrong. Something more enchanting about only light and shadow defining the shape and structure of the bare stone
