An original oil painting by Ben Sherar of the sun beaming across afternoon clouds

My latest exhibition is coming up, finalising the last few paintings, time to paint all the edges then let dry & varnish, time to send out some emails and put the word out! I'm looking forward to hanging works in the same venue, on the same walls again, with a very similar theme, 11 years after the last time I did it !!

I've got a number of small still lifes up on eBay for auction, get in quick to scoop one up, Click the image to go to my eBay!

All of these little ones were done from life using the shadow box I made - alla prima still life is a great way to learn brush techniques and colour picking!

A wooden artists easel inside an art studio

With the ending of my latest lease my residency in the Fremantle Town Hall is at an end, a big thankyou to City of Fremantle for granting use of the heritage listed building as an art studio, and a big thankyou to all the wonderful people I met throughout my time in such a great location - so many fun times, interesting conversations and friends made - and so much late night painting!!

I'll still be in town regularly - time to hit the streets with my pochade box, on to bigger and better things!

New studio setup

A typically messy artists studioI've finally moved the home studio into the loungeroom - no more painting in the cold! more space!
and a couch to sit back and analyse the latest mistakes !!

I still need to build a big wall easel and a better taboret, but it's a good start - really making it easier to finish the paintings for the show...
