I'm thrilled to have my paintings on display on the Yagan Square Digital Tower in Perth City!
So to celebrate I am partnering with @theartisanstore Fremantle to do a special 🎁 GIVEAWAY 🎁 for two and a half weeks whilst you can find my works screening on the Yagan Square Digital Tower!!
🎁🎁🎁
In two weeks, on the 5th of June, we're giving my painting 'No More Miss Maud’s' (second image in the gallery) as a prize
🎁🎁🎁
To enrol in our GIVEAWAY you need to:
.
1. Take a shot of Digital Tower with my artwork on it. (You may have to wait for a little while while it rotates through all the artwork and adverts!!)
.
2. Post the shot in your IG feed or stories or Facebook.
.
3. Tag @bensherar.art and @theartisanstore.
.
That's it! @theartisanstore will send your entry number as soon as you meet all the conditions. 🎁🎁🎁
We'll draw the winner on the 5th of June and you can pick the painting up from the The Artisan Store - 81a High street Fremantle, or we'll help to organize the postage.
❗️
Please note, postage cost for the small prize painting isn't included in the Giveaway, it's a smallish artwork though so you won't break the bank if you win 😜😆🎨
.
The paintings displayed on the tower are also now available on the Artisan Store Website
They're all pretty big, so I'm offering to pay full shipping anywhere in Australia, and free delivery & hanging of these industrially varnished pieces on aluminium anywhere in the Perth metro area!
. (overseas shipping can be negotiated but these pieces are Big and Heavy!) 😍🖼💪🏼

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!

Time to start making room in the studio - I've just put up these few small ones on eBay for auction, click the image to go through to check em out!

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!

I'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...

Here's a couple small still life pieces I did on brown onions and garlic last week, put em up on ebay & sold already, maybe I should do more...

Pretty creative titles hey! The timber surface (after being primed) was interesting to paint on - smooth surface allowed the brush to slide but the slightly apparent random grain texture also grabbed the paint.

I've finally gotten around to finishing this small horse portrait,

I had a lot of fun working on this one today, especially the sheen on the coat. It's a pity so much stuff kept getting in the way stopping me from getting around to working on it again as I'm quite happy with the way it turned out!
