Digital painting in a stained glass aesthetic of a pale skinned knight in plate armour, with blond hair and facial hair looking to the right. The figure is holding a sword and is wearing a red cape. There is a red stain over their heart. In front of them is a shield with a yellow lion design on it. The shield is cracked. Behind them are some sea cliffs.

Painted in 1904, this portrait comes from Welsh artist Augustus John’s early, high-intensity years, when he was gaining fame for psychologically charged likenesses. The title “Ardor” (“burning feeling” or “intensity”) guides the emotional register. This isn’t a neutral likeness so much as an intimate study of presence. The sitter is Dorothy “Dorelia” McNeill, a central figure in Augustus John’s life and work as his partner, muse, and subject of many portraits during the 1900s. 

A tightly framed oil portrait shows a young Dorelia from the chest up against a soft, smoky grey ground. She turns her head slightly while looking back toward our left, her dark eyes steady and alert. Her skin is fair/light with warm blush across both cheeks as bright highlights catch her forehead, nose, and cheekbones, giving her face a living sheen. Her dark hair is swept back from a high hairline and falls in loose curls at the temples. The mouth forms a small, closed-lip smile that is more private than performative while her raised brow line and half-lidded gaze add a hint of amused confidence. She wears a black, collarless jacket fastened with small round buttons, opened to a white blouse. The paint is most precise around the eyes and mouth. Elsewhere, edges soften and brushwork loosens, letting her face emerge from shadow without hard outlines. Fine surface cracking is visible across the background and hair.

Dorelia’s sidelong glance and half-smile suggest she’s in on a thought we don’t fully share. With no props, jewelry, or setting to “explain” her, the painting insists on the authority of expression. She is not softened into sweetness or decorum, but presented as self-possessed … warm, watchful, and unyielding about the boundary between observer and observed. The restrained palette of charcoal, black, muted cream, and flesh tones, intensifies that effect, through small details like the tilt of her head, the pull of light on skin, and that one-of-a-kind, almost-spoken smirk.

Dragon doodle for a lovely customer who ordered a signed copy of my book ‘Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beats’ with an additional custom sketch. I’m so glad my first artwork of the year got to be a Welsh Dragon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Latest WIP. Having a lot more fun being more loose with it and prioritising my enjoyment over the end goal of "Maybe this will look industry standard!".

Work in progress, depicting the infamous dragons of Dinas Emrys. I feel this has potential to become something quite special, a tapestry, an embossed and foiled note book? What do you think?

Growing up in Cymru I was surrounded by images and tales of Ddraig (Dragons). Ever since I was a child I have been completely obsessed with them and that passion has only grown as I've gotten older.

Pony skull painted with natural pigment from Parys Mountain. My design was based on ancient rock art that can be seen at Barclodiad y Gawres on Ynys Môn.

Thank you @pariogllico for such a fantastic and informative class and to @greatormemines for hosting 🥰
