Rangdum Monastery, Ladakh

 Acrylic on canvas. 24"x20"

Close up of monastery

It's based on a photo by Olivier Föllmi (one of my favourite photographers) http://www.follmispirit.com/
I changed the backdrop for mountains in Nepal although the monastery is on the Tibetan plateau in Ladakh, India, sshh! artistic license.

Tonal exercise

I decide to revamp one of my old layouts with some dramatic lighting to give it that eerie look that was initially intended for it. It was more of a tonal exercise in visual storytelling.

Painting sketch

I made this from some left over paint on the palette on a scrap of primed fabriano.

Stadium concept

Another stadium concept. This one was an early concept with european locations in mind for the game which we didn't use as it was decided that we should only use locations in the USA. I still quite liked the idea of this stadium where new areas where added over an ancient greek stadium juxtaposing the old and the new.

Commission for a wedding gift. I found it really difficult to photograph this painting accurately, not helped by the fact that I coated it with a gloss varnish. This is close though I lost some of the richness of the paint and some of the mood, like any photo of an oil painting.
