The tropical climate of Queensland lends itself to outdoor living. Entertaining in the pergola as shown in the attached paintings is a large part of Queensland life.
Chinese Ginger Jar
I started seriously painting still life after the gift of an old Chinese ginger jar. The marks the potter made long ago contrast with the brief life of the flowers in a still life painting.
