An oil painting I recently uploaded into my online shops of animals jumping over a fence into a flooding river. 30 x 24 inches on stretched canvas. I’ll be painting more this size tomorrow.

If I could find a courier able to transport bigger paintings for cheaper than I have so far, I’d like to sell 40 x 32 inch canvas paintings as well, as this is usually my ideal size to work on. But for now, I’m restricted to parcels under one meter.

As well as signing them on the back, I put a load of links and contact info. Free advertising isn’t something I can afford to turn down. I’m surprised most artists settle for an illegible signature. It’s time we get with the 21st century. I rarely sign paintings on the front. I will if I think it’ll look good, but usually it doesn’t. Feels like the singer shouting the name of the band at the end of the song. Neither the time nor place.
