Retro Pony
31 × 50 cm | oil on canvas
A little white pony against a pattern from my birth decade, the very cool, retro 1970s for your Friday afternoon entertainment.
This little guy is heading to my upcoming show at @akbellingergallery. He’s been waiting for his last few brushstrokes while I finished an important commission.
All done today, and I’ll share more of this with you soon after the unveiling!!
Have a great weekend.

Jungle Pony
60 × 90 cm | oil on canvas
For six years of my childhood we lived on remote Busuanga Island in the Philippines.
That isolation, the tropical paradise, the friendships made and the freedoms enjoyed became a pivotal part of who I am.
It was the perfect childhood, me, mum and dad, my brother and sister, a sprinkle of local friends, endless hours swimming in streams and riding our bikes and ponies. No television. No phones. No shoes.
Absolutely nothing to disturb our imagination. This painting will form part of my upcoming solo @akbellingergallery late this year.

Today I can share with you a recent commission completed for a beautiful (and very patient) couple of their shaggy little puppy Ralph.
Ralph has gone to doggy heaven but now he is eternal, with his adorable underbite and forever lying on his favourite chair…
Thank you Read for trusting me with this wonderful project - I loved every minute 🧡🩵

“Vintage Pony”
60 x 90cm oil on canvas
We had two ponies as kids, this one was supposed to be Misty, but technically, she was a white stock horse…
The background pattern was inspired by the old lounge chairs we had at the time, from memory they were large pale pink and cream roses - Woops - I accidentally got all overexcited about the colours and went totally off piste with my vintage floral interpretation…
I know my dad is quietly confused about why I keep on putting horses indoors and why they can’t just have a landscape and blue sky behind them… but for whatever reason, this is what needed to come out…!
I hope you enjoy this one no matter the loose interpretation! This painting will form part of my upcoming show with @akbellingergallery later this year
