UK R&B/Pop singer Craig David pays homage and shares his cover of Aaliyah's "4 page Letter" on his social platforms.
David was popular in the USA back in the early 2000's with his R&B hits "7 Days", "Walking Away", What's Your Flavor", and "Fill me In" (and those were just a few of my favs).
I remember the Official Street Teams back in the early 2000's. Although there was MANY Official Street Teams, I definitely supported Aaliyah, Beyonce and Craig David's Street Team material heavy on my AU pages/groups back then *sigh* those were the days.
Non Aaliyah Related Side Note: I remember Beyonce's Official Street Team sent me free Beyonce Perfume (a large bottle) for helping with their promotions, a cool moment I never forgot.
This is 'Vortex 1', a fairly recent work that went off to Clifton Fine Art @cliftonfineart not too long ago. It's oil on canvas, 60x60cm. What does it make you think about? #LesleyOldakerArt #Oldaker #PeoplePaintings #OilPaintingArt #OilPaintingOnCanvas #AbstractFigures #Vortex #FacelessFigures #Emotive #DarkFigures #MonochromePainting #AbstractFigurative #RecentWork #ContemporaryPainter #BritishArtist #BritishFemaleArtist (at Clifton Fine Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfLaVe4o0cZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
So I've decided to redesign a bunch of characters from my first ever webcomic. I was 15 when I originally drew these concepts, and I'm so pleased with how my art has changed
‘The Beacon from North Hill’ 30x40” oil on canvas. An early morning sunrise creating the most amazing colour on North hill whilst the Beacon was in the shade of a cloud. An early spring frost made amazing blues on the grass, couldn’t have been better. #malvernhills #malvern #northhill #worcestershirebeacon #oilpainting #britishlandscape #sunrise #sunrisepainting #britishartist #landacapepainting #antonybridge (at Malvern Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6AHQ-N8jx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's Drawing Day today so I'm excited to drop my sketch for this week (for my new body of work, consisting in weekly sketches that I post to my online Artist Studio): some delicate, beautiful, light pink flowers I randomly spotted in London (UK) and just had to quickly sketch! 🌺💮🌸💖 Constantly sketching what I see around me is a big part of my artistic process and drawing supports all my art projects, no matter what medium the final works are in, which is why I'm celebrating drawing today: Happy Drawing Day!
Materials: felt tip on drawing paper (A5 carry around sketchbook)
