Zaeda and I are preparing for our winter travels. We’re planing our winter in Florida with various stops along the way. We have friends and places from Connecticut to Florida and we’re planing on making lots of stops along the way.

Dr Steve, Like a Phoenix_ shades of Purple_20 Colour Spectrum_Season_20 (200 × 240 cm Oil on canvas) Inspiration, dedication and consistency is the language of the work. In his retirement, Bra Steve obtainted his life long dream to be a certified intellect gaining the title: DR Thelo Stephen Botlhoko and becoming an explain of ambition in his small community of Coligny in the North West Province, South Africa. The artwork is a personal reminder of perseverance and dedication. That one will not always get what they palnned immediately. That a short coming does not mean its the end of one's the path. #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #southafricanart #fineart #lesegomotsiri #northwestprovince #art #artist #fineartartist #colourspectrum #colourspevtrumseason (at Coligny, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7OCE-WhiCA/?igshid=1vdxgmgxojc1m

“Pissing” oil on cardboard 2010. Size 23H x 15W cm. The darkness of life surrounded her, all efforts to come to dreams were suddenly threatened, or even if it became more thorny and incomprehensible She poured herself some liquor and lay down in a large tub. Relaxing, she let go of everything that bothered her. All along with a yellow liquid spreading over white porcelain.

Artist of The Week - Abby Hope Skinner

Abby is a fabulous contemporary figurative artist and portrait painter, often between Cyprus and the UK Abby works on portrait commissions and other fine art projects. She has also been shortlisted/long-listed for several prestigious competitions including the National Portrait Gallery’s BP Portrait Award!

Credit: Abby Hope-Skinner

What are your biggest inspirations?

Egon Schiele’s drawings.

Frida Kahlo - her life story and the fearless honesty within her paintings and self-portraits.

Lucien Freud - his early portraits, especially from the 1950s. ‘Girl in Bed’ is a favourite.

Arthur Rackham’s Golden Age illustrations.

The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck - the exquisite detail and technique in oil, especially on such a small scale.

Hans Holbein.

I’m always inspired by contemporary portrait exhibitions such as the Royal Society of Portrait Painters at the Mall Galleries, and The BP Portrait Award held at the National Portrait Gallery.

My portrait ‘Harlequin’ was shown at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in May this year. It has been a dream come true, and has fuelled and inspired my work.

Fairytales and literature.

Music.

How did you start your art career?

I was awarded the ‘Highest Mark in the World’ for my A level Art and Design Cambridge International Examinations in 2012. I was subsequently interviewed and featured on the Student Art Guide, which helped to start a presence online.

Then, in 2014, I was on Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, where Lord Melvyn Bragg selected my painting to take home with him. It was a wonderful experience and I received several portrait commissions after the show was aired. From this I began to build a small group of patrons and collectors.

What's your favourite piece you have created so far?

My favourite piece is always my last piece which, at the moment, is ‘Alice and the Playing Cards’. It’s a homage to one of my earliest inspirations, Arthur Rackham.

But you can’t have favourites with your children anyway!

What art tools could you not live without?

I couldn't live without most of my art tools. One of my favourite colours, which I tend to use in all of my paintings, is Florentine Red by Mussini. It’s a rich, luscious and transparent earthy red.

What is the biggest challenge with your art?

It’s quite a solitary occupation, and you have to focus for long periods of time, which can be a challenge.

What was the first book you fell in love with?

‘Treasure Island’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. I read and reread it when I was younger. I have an old, battered copy which is a treasured possession.

Recently, my parents bought me a beautiful hardback edition illustrated by one of my favourite illustrators, N.C. Wyeth.

If you could trade lives with anyone for a day, who would you pick?

Caravaggio. I’m sure a day in his life would be quite an experience, and I’d love to get the inside track on his painting process.

What's the best thing you've ever purchased?

Flights to Vienna to see the work of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt ‘in the flesh’ for the first time.

What do you listen to / watch when you're working?

I enjoy listening to music and podcasts while I’m working. One of my favourite art podcasts is John Dalton’s ‘Gently Does it’.

Who would you like to paint in the future?

Emeli Sandé. I’ve always had a dream to make a painting of her for one of her album covers.

What would your dream house look like?

It would have a beautiful spacious art studio, with large windows, overlooking the sea.

I’d take inspiration from Frida Kahlo’s Blue House in Mexico, and decorate with vibrant colours.

Do you prefer the city or the countryside?

On balance, the city. There’s more opportunity to be around art and people, and to visit all the wonderful museums and galleries.

Where is your favourite place to travel to?

I currently live in Cyprus, so I’m spoilt with the Mediterranean weather and beaches.

I like to travel back home to London whenever I can, to catch up with exhibitions and see my friends and family.

Letting Go of the New Year

Letting Go of the New Year

(Commissioned 16 x 20 Head and Collar Oil Portraits on Canvas, Completed 2016)

If 2016 were a square knot, then 2017 is a slip knot. Last year I had a goal of letting go of stuff. The stuff that filled the space around me. The stuff that might have some use in the future. The stuff that was semi sentimental or had the potential to be. But I couldn’t let go of a thing. Instead of releasing the…
