Balance of Power - Subscriber Preview and Charity Donation

 

These three paintings are now finished. They have been released to my newsletter subscribers who can enjoy the preview and be the first to secure them

I am offering them as part of my #artistsupportpledge collection at £200 each.

Those of you that know me, will know how much I enjoyed my trips to Namibia. I immediately fell in love with Namibia and have a special fondness for the black rhinos in the Kunene region. We were planning on going again this year, but, of course, that wasn't possible.

As these paintings started coming together, they reminded me of my time in Namibia. Dawn was always special (even if I did have to get up before 5am), with the mountains gradually emerging out of the mists as the sun rose, and before it started baking the land. A very special time of day.

The Rangers who protect the rhinos do a wonderful job and need a shout-out. They still remain vigilant, while everyone is in lock down. See @savetherhinonamibia and read some of their stories.

Part of their funding is reliant on the tourist trade which is non-existent at the moment. To help support them I will also donate £50 from each painting to Save the Rhino Trust, Namibia.

To snag an early bargain, subscribe to my newsletter and I will send you a link to them. 

NEWSFLASH! Today is International Rhino Day. Help make a ranger's day.

#ArtistSupportPledge

Artist Support Pledge


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic many artists have found themselves without work teaching, technical support, gallery work, exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress I have joined the ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE #artistsupportpledge on Instagram started by Matthew Burrows - @matthewburrowsstudio and pay it forward.

I reduced the price of some artwork and included them in the #artistsupportpledge on my website. Those shown here have not yet been uploaded but are selling for 85€ (£75 each) normal retail 120€ so leave a comment or email me if interested. 20x20cm mixed media on paper.


The concept is a simple one. I will post images of my work I am willing to sell for no more than 200 euro each (not including shipping.) Every time I reach 1 000€ of sales I pledge to buy another artists work for up to 200€. I am also including my other artworks as well i.e. 20% of sales will go to purchasing another artist's work.

Expanding From Three to Four



A very bad photo of 'Freedom has no Boundaries' Triptych taken at the Toulouse Art3f artfair last weekend. Next week it will be traveling to the Surrey Contemporary Art Fair, but it may have grown to four paintings, see image below. It is definitely a statement piece (pieces?) so it will have a wall all to itself.


The fourth panel in progress.
I ordered 4 of these canvasses and although there is only one week between arriving back and leaving again, I couldn't resist using the spare canvas. This is how it is progressing. Just covered in heavy gel medium which is milky but will clear when dry and provide a basw for the next layers.

Does anyone know what a set of 4 paintings is called? quadtych doesn't sound quite right!

Each panel is 40x120cm.
