Starting on 1st December comes the 12 Days of Christmas Promotion. Each day, Ill be offering one painting at a knockout rate, only for my VIP newsletter followers.
These are paintings I do love a lot, and many of them are decorating my walls at the moment, but now, I am feeling I can let them go to a home that will cherish them as much as I do.
Amongst my artwork, there will be pieces of when I have started my art career, doing. My work is majorly made in soft pastels, a medium I have mastered doing mountain portraits.
The paintings will be offered with a sale price for one day only, and will be sold to whoever contacts me first, just by responding to my email.
To be able to participate in this promotion, you have to register to my art newsletter here.

With more time at home, I had time to sort my drawings and started thinking on what I will do with them. Some of them I don’t have anymore, as they were gifts for certain people. I do need to put them in frames, but at certain time I was producing way too many of them- this was when I was going to drawing school once a week, and I have never come to do it, as it was a bit pricey.
I’ve started drawing ski posters, as I have always loved them, but I found them a bit too expensive as to splash on them. Obviously the ski posters are much prettier than my attempts in doing some drawings copying them. And I start copying them, but as I cannot deal with perspective, with where the things are on the canvas or paper, so I finish adapting the drawing to my advantage….nobody has to see the original next to mine!
I did a course of different drawing techniques and materials with Simon Willems at the Conservatoire in Blackheath, SE London, UK, and what I’ve realised is that I like the charcoal and pastels the most.
Even though maybe the oil has the best finishings, I have not done so much with oil, and I find it that it takes too long to wait it to dry and keep on going…. I like to do a drawing possibly in one go and finish it.
There are some that took me two or three goes to finish, and that was mostly because I have not liked the outcome and kept on going and adding more colour to see if I could fix them.
