A view of Thurnham castle. . . . Fought this one tough and nail (struggled to sign my name, was exhausted at the end). Probably is not fully done. I may still ruin it with more detail or light. Doesn't feel quite like one of mine but I'm loosing the will.... . . . #art #painting #artoninstagram #landscape #castle #oilpainting

A little throwback to the first painting I did a few years ago. I say first, first ok canvas as an adult! Who knew then how much it would take over me? . . . 'To the moon and back, my boy' is one of the few early paintings that I actually planned. Believe it or not. Still have it hanging in my hallway. Though that might just be vanity on my part! . . . #throwbackthursday #tbt #painting #art #abstractart #surrealism #moon #artist
