Andean Garden

This is my first ever commission.  The brief was to produce a painting that highlighted aspects of the wall tiles in the customer's kitchen, hence the shape of some of the smaller flowers.  The full blue tiles appearing randomly through the painting reflect the tile pattern in the tile layout.  I also placed the sun peering over the wall on the corner where the natural light streams into the kitchen.

Chasing A Shadow - Horsemen of the Camargues

This was a picture I took of the Camargues horsemen running the bulls through Aigues Mortes in southern France. This painting uses the techniques I learned from Ross Paterson.  Painted in mid 2015

Cock With Attitude

This painting required a deal of freedom in the application of pain.   The look of the rooster is certainly an angry look.  Painted in 2021.

Cosmic Connections

This painting depicts the connections between planets and earth, earth and moon, moon and tides, 

water and life, organisms and  matter, all of which a part of a whole expressed through the 

Chinese philosophical idea of yin-yang symbolised in the centre piece.

Evening Stroll

This painting was finished at a week-long residential art workshop I attended in Bathurst mid 2015. I was working with renowned Victorian watercolourist Ross Paterson and I am still trying to master his techniques that capture light to such great effect.

Sunset over the Ocean

This painting captures the colours of the sunset over water without being prescriptive in shape and form.  It was painted in early 2014 and about my second attempt to go abstract.

Sunset over the Walled Garden

I was wandering through the Microworlds website and was attracted by the shapes of some of the objects of nature and wanted to capture them in an abstract sense.  Many of the shapes had been created on linocut and then arranged to create this painting.

Urban Chaos

This is one of my first attempts to go abstract.  The painting depicts the chaos of the crowds and movement overlooked by the high rise buildings of a city street.  Painted in late 2014.
