Realism
“Leeds Sunset”
Acrylic and UV pigment on Canvas, 150cm x 100cm. Based on a reference photo provided by an incredibly kind friend (Thanks, Saira!).
“Salford Reflections”
Acrylic on Canvas, 175cm X 100cm. Depicts ‘Ralli Quays’ and it’s reflection on the River Irwell from the Albert Bridge. Technically, the reflection of the footbridge is in Manchester (the boundary between the cities is the middle of the river).
“Currently A Mystery Landscape”
Acrylic on Canvas, 2000x400mm. Exactly two people know where this is, and one of them isn’t on Facebook. Obviously this is “abstract” – so… Would it be fun or mean to launch a “GeoGuessr” type competition? There’s even a perfect spot on Street View with the same view .
“Transamerica Pyramid”
Acrylic on Canvas, 400×500. Following on from “Edinburgh Street Scene”, another pseudo-impressionist piece, this time of Columbus Avenue, San Francisco c. 2001. Based on a photo taken by The Unicorn from the junction of Columbus Avenue and Jack Kerouac Alley.
“Edinburgh Street Scene”
Acrylic on Canvas, 500×400. In a break from the “usual”, there’s no UV and no Glow. Just a plain old painting of Frederick Street in Edinburgh as seen in 2017 in a pseudo-impressionist style.
“Glasgow Skyline, Winter Sunrise.”
Acrylic on Canvas, 2000×400. Based on a panoramic photograph I took of the Glasgow Skyline at Sunrise some years ago. There is a “piece within the piece”, “Hiding in the woods” which has lots of hidden motifs and symbols relevant to my journey to here…
“Tasty Scotland 1: Tunnocks Tea Cake”
Acrylic on Canvas, 300×300. This isn’t the completed version, as it’s missing the text on the wrapper in the background. I can confirm that it tasted far better than it may look in this painting!
“Made in Scotland”
Acrylic on Canvas, 1000×700. The Forth Rail Bridge, Tunnocks Caramel Wafer, and a bottle of Irn Bru 1901 (the “modern” version couldn’t support diabetes, let alone a railway bridge!). It can get much more Scottish, but this will suffice for now 😀.
