July was a busy month for commissions with a really diverse lot of subjects. This is my classroom where I get set new challenges and learn a heap whilst making someone’s vision of a painting come to life.

This one is of a famous hiking trail in Japan. I loved the challenge of getting the mist to look look mist.

Here I got to grow a garden in a couple of days!

And how could  I resist this cuddly twosome!

…and a chance to try out some of those quintessential American red barns in a lovely panorama format.

and lastly, a tugboat going about its work. Lots of detail here but that was offset by the loose sky and reflections.

Hope your month has been as varied and interesting!
