Cape hunting dog
Oil on Masonite, ACEO (= about 65 x 90 mm):
I haven't painted anything in ages, but have been itching to do so, and to try out a medium I haven't used in years, namely oils. I was rather relieved to see that while my painting has become a bit rusty, my old oil paints are for the most part still perfectly usable.
To start with, I stuck to a limited palette of black, white, yellow ocher and burnt umber. For this sort of subject matter you don't really need much else anyway, though the reference photo I used was definitely more colorful, particularly in the background.

The Book of Revelation
I have decided to try my hand at illustrating an existing text, and chose the Biblical Book of Revelation (King James Version). It was an interesting challenge, because I'm not really used to this sort of weighty subject matter!
After rather more delay and bureaucracy than I expected of a book with a text in the public domain, it has finally been published.
Get the paperback version here.
There seems to currently be some sort of issue with availability of the e-book - watch this page for updates.
