Hello!!
Well, I have started my fourth and final year of University ! ( eek ) I am already into my fourth week! Very scary, I have been thinking hard and sketching over the summer in order to work out plans and find an idea for my degree show. The past three weeks I have settled on a solid idea and began experimenting with materials to see what will work best. Expect a blog post on that soon!
Along side freaking out over the fact I was about to move into my final year of Uni, during my summer break, I also worked on a few commissions. Having primarily worked with installation and sculpture throughout my time studying fine art, it was quite refreshing to sit down and paint on canvas.
I have to say it felt good being able to pay rent through selling my work rather than having to work a grueling minimum wage job!
Here are some photos of the various paintings and commissions I have done over the summer!
Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them! :)

I found the whole experience very rewarding, remembering why I used to paint constantly just a few short years ago! All in all I have had a really relaxing and enjoyable summer, it was effectively the calm before the storm that is my degree show year. I am a mess of excitement and utter fear! haha (mainly excitement!)
I will be documenting the whole year so keep an eye out for more posts!
