Dm me for info on custom orders or try the Etsy link to see what’s available. You dream it I paint it One of a kind, hand painted artwork in oil.
Inspired by nature, vibrant colour, and my love of fantasy/games. Sketching and painting have been my favourite pastimes since I was a young child. Unfortunately, I was not able to pursue it as a career and ended up in construction to pay the bills. Now, as I enter middle age, I am more driven to do what I enjoy. I want to use my hands to create works people can enjoy, instead of sticking to building block walls that people walk by without noticing. I've always gotten great pleasure gifting my art to family and friends. I am now pleased to open my art up to a larger audience. I hope you will enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed creating it.

Thank you FB Memories. I’m still battling my back surgery to getting back to the easel. But remembering projects like this helps.
This was a lot of fun to work on. I pride myself in my use of vibrant colour, and call my business OilAndColour, but this is definitely the most colourful and vibrant painting I think I’ve ever done.
I was not very familiar with Pokemon, Eevee or the Eeveelutions when I was commissioned to do this painting. But that’s half the fun of taking commissions. Keeps me on my toes researching subject matter, using new techniques and exploring different genres.

So not exactly a finished project, but I did finish the pick guard for “The Fool” guitar I’ve been working on slowly during my back issues. It’s nice to even get this little bit done. Small sense of completion.
I’ve also included an update on the Donkey Kong Country piece I’m doing for another repeat client. Going quite well but also very slow.
It’s just past six months since my surgery and it’s still very much keeping me from going full steam. There’s a lot more twisting and bending when painting then most people might realize. But making progress, and am happy to just to be back at the easel at all.

Happy 40th Anniversary Link!
Feeling old today 🤣
I definitely didn’t get the original LoZ the day it came out, but you better believe 9 yr old me was saving up my birthday and Christmas money and got it within the year. I was hooked immediately.

Hey all! I hope this post finds you well.
It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything creative and had anything to share due to my back issues and then surgery. But I’m slowly making it back to the easel as my recovery progresses.
It’s been a long, painful road so I’m happy that I had enough stamina over the past week to work on a sketch for a new project. It’s for a very patient repeat customer who commissioned this quite some time ago.
The final boss fight in Donkey Kong Country. Donkey and Diddy Kong vs King K Rool.
Now to dust off my paint brushes. I’ll be slowly starting this over the next few weeks. But I also still have my The Fool guitar project that I started a long time ago to finish. Another very patient repeat customer has had a display case for it sitting empty all this time. Thankfully I’m half way done already so it’s not as daunting as it would be otherwise.
It’s going to be slow going for a while. But hopefully I’ll be posting updates more frequently again very soon. 😊
