Just great Mark. Beautiful and humorous too. Doesn't look like someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley!
Mark, just when I think your paintings can't get any better, you prove me wrong. Perfection!
I never get tired of exploring your beautiful renditions of animals. Between your work and the paintings by enug I have a beautiful gallery to browse while I have tea; enjoying the same paintings over and again without tiring of them.
Awww, thank you sueellen that’s so kind of you to say:o:o:o
I know quite some time has passed since I posted my last painting, I hadn’t realised just how long ago that was:o!
There will be more, just can’t say when right now…
But I am very glad to hear that the ones so far continue to bring you such pleasure:)
And thank you also June, Brett and altimaître for your last comments:o
All a bit quiet on these forums of late isn’t it:confused::(
And sadly due to "life" I still haven’t been able to finish anything new in AR lately:(
But I thought I might see what old stuff might be lurking on my HD that perhaps has some small merit that I might post in the meantime.
Though the Kudu was painted back in 2016, I recently used it as a wine label for an otherwise entirely vector mockup of a wine.

Yes, very quiet!
Beautiful kudu and a great vector drawing. I haven’t done much vector stuff since I swapped from PC to Mac and had to stop using Xara, an app I really liked. I have Affinity Designer but never used it that much.

Thanks Brett, yes I used Affinity Designer for the actual bottle in this.
My “go to” graphics apps have for some time now been;
Raster illustrations = Artrage every time!:cool:
Vector illustrations = Affinity Designer
Image Editing/Correction = Affinity Photo
Layout work or adding text to illustrations = Whichever Affinity app seems most appropriate!:rolleyes:
those two would be my favorite pieces so far — I love the dark ambience in the owl painting, and I really like your subtle watercolor technique, and the very tasteful use of color which is consistent across different paintings. a lot of soft light, and some nice, organic earthiness in the colors.
it’s also a great demonstration of what artrage is capable of in the right hands and with enough dedication. I was getting so tired of people trying to put down its watercolor tools for being too simplistic, while they just need more time to get acknowledged with on the painter's side.
anyway, I hope you have more time for new splendid art this year, and will share new works at some point.
