Mikk Murray @mikkmurray.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Great to see 5 species of butterfly in the park yesterday! Comma, small white, peacock, tortoise shell and orange tip! 030
Mikk Murray @mikkmurray.bsky.social · 16/02/2025While I often paint with oils, this piece (along with about ten others I was working on at the time) was done in acrylic. I had fun experimenting, especially with Liquitex for its opaque fluidity. Through. Acrylic on canvas. A1, 2023. 000
Mikk Murray @mikkmurray.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Planning in two stages allowed me to paint more freely, layer by layer. Stopping was the hardest part—knowing when to step back rather than keep going. But that just means there’s always another painting waiting to be made. 100
Mikk Murray @mikkmurray.bsky.social · 16/02/2025This one started with sketching in the woods, filling small books with observations and feeling that early excitement about where it might lead. I did a few studies, but it wasn’t until I got some pages onto the iPad that things really started to click. 100
Mikk Murray @mikkmurray.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Through - I loved making this piece. It was for an exhibition at Ecclesall Woods—a body of work that had me in the studio almost every moment outside my full-time job on the farm at the time. When a clear vision takes hold, the energy just seems to be there for it. 110

Mikk Murray @mikkmurray.bsky.social · 21/08/2023Stunning day at the nature reserve looking out for bitterns and bearded tits. Saw a peregrine falcon try to take down a small bird mid air right in front of us. Nature is incredible! 010
