Gussie
£10.00
Gussie was the second octopus I ever painted. My figurative paintings explore animals through abstraction, focusing on energy and presence rather than realism.
This piece is built through deliberate layering, controlled material application, and close attention to texture, surface tension, and visual balance. The work reflects an ongoing studio practice focused on physical process, emotional weight, and the complexity that emerges through repetition and adjustment.

Original Art & Fine Art Prints Handmade in Oxfordshire
I use a variety of materials in my process. From brushes and pallet knives to cardboard scraps and sticks. My work is largely acrylic paint, whichever brand I can get on offer, and my preffered mediums are either Windsor and Newton or Liquitex.
Once signed and varnished, I photograph my paintings in natural light and crop to standard print sizes, adjusting levels to ensure as accurate a match to the original as possible. Once exported I print on my inkjet Epson P-900 SureColour. Tis a sexy beast.
I print onto a variety of papers, including high gloss and watercolour. My larger prints use satin 260gsm and my extra large prints (A1 & A0) are handled by a top notch local third party printing service I've been working with for years.
