Today I am posting a painting I did early in the year. It is of Budelli Beach on the island of Budelli which lies between Corsica and Sardegna (or Sardinia). The beach is a protected site of natural beauty as in the setting sun the sand glows pink. It is not allowed to take sand or walk on the sand from the beach although you can walk alongside on a path. The painting is for sale and it is oils on canvas roll ready to be stretched. It can ship easily and securely in a rolled tube. It is described more in the link which takes you to my kofi shop. Enjoy your visit.

Digital Artwork Painting for Fantasy Novel I am currently Writing.

This is the complete view so far of the digital painting that I am working on regarding the fantasy story I am currently writing. I guess it's about halfway finished.  Like all things creative, it takes a lot of effort and imagination to come up with the ideas. Maybe it's easier for some people, but I think most good ideas take effort. That's been my experience so far. This idea has formed little by little by trying out different things and seeing what works and evolving a small idea into a larger one. Enjoy! I will post a finished view at a later date.


Writing Project -- Fantasy Novel soon to be published, Jan / Feb 2022

Hi, today I am posting about the status of my latest writing project which is a fantasy story and full novel length. It's about 80% finished at the moment. 67,500 words of 85,000 word target. I hope to self-publish it in February if not sooner. The image below is not one of mine but a cover I bought which I felt was right for the story. I shall post more about this when it is closer to publishing. It's an exciting and enjoyable project and my first novel attempt.
