For much of the past year I have had difficulty moving, but I have been constantly at work on improving my existing art. I overhauled the 2008 version of Aphrodite Rising earlier in 2023 and then was thankfully given an ornate frame that I cut down and decorated to suite the refreshed painting.On Freyja’s Choice […]

HERRON ART PORTFOLIO
A direct link to the portfolio website of Shaun Herron showing the full range of his creative endeavors s to date.
To date I have mainly exhibited impressionist landscape paintings in galleries, but diversity in my approach includes an even looser abstract style alongside esoteric oil paintings and a few on-going hand-drawn book projects. Then there are collaborations such as Mental Peace; a T-shirt label carrying Herron designs which enjoyed 20 years of festival tours around Europe and international recognition within it’s target group. This site is built in order to buy from and interact directly with the artist. Featuring new releases like the current promotion of my book: FROM HERrON. *If you experience problems viewing this site on your device then try updating or changing your browser.

PRECIOUS
To see PRECIOUS – A Journey Through Life with Water by Herron: https://youtu.be/CS8nTyCL10w A labour of love. Long in making and long in the waiting.

Figure drawing
This figure drawing shows quite radical foreshortening (closer arm bigger than distant arm) but that is perspective for you. Emphasis is on the lines, demonstrated by the central vertical under the chin and the diagonals of the arms, with corresponding blank spaces. And, of course, there is attention to the cluster of hair and overall […]

Closing drawing for PRECIOUS
Finally, after about 17 years since the last drawing I did for “PRECIOUS_ A journey through life with water”, I have completed the closing drawing. Written on the page is the excerpt that inspired the project: “How did he love this water, how did it delight him, how grateful was he to it! In his […]
