Generation Gallery and New works

I have recently finished two paintings in the last few weeks, Firstly I completed the latest commission titled "12.6.9" this commission came from my cousin and his wife who had called me earlier in the year to ask if i would be happy to paint a commission for them which of course i was more than happy to do. What I wasn't expecting is the subject as he asked if i would paint them some pool balls. I must admit i was a little bit confused as it was the last thing i would have guessed but that all changed when he told me that he wanted the numbers on the balls to represent the date he got married to his wife. 12th June 2009.


"12th-6th-2009"
28" x 15"
Oil on wooden panel

SOLD

The second piece was a still life painting of some red clear dice, I have wanted to paint these for quite some time and finally got around to it, I had taken the reference photograph in natural lighting to capture that beautiful translucency that these dice have, the composition was of all three stacked together on a larger board to really make the piece striking. I decided to cut through the black at the top of this piece by applying a warm mix of cad reds, burnt umber and yellow ochre. unfortunately i couldn't capture it very well on this picture with the light reflecting off the paint.


"Triple Stacked"
30" x 30"
Oil on wooden panel

SOLD



And the last bit of news to announce Is that i am now represented also by Generation gallery based in city centre Manchester, they approached me a week ago and after speaking a few times we agreed that they would represent myself and my work. I agreed to supply them with a few pieces  these were - Tommy K, The great British butty, The four evens, and the latest Triple stacked.

Whats more without even having the pieces at the gallery as i have yet to ship them over to them they have SOLD 2 of my originals and received a commission. I couldn't have asked for a better start with them and hope it continues to grow.
