Beautiful Bulbs
Each spring beautiful bulbs produce spectacular flowers in a great range of colours. Making a choice of still life subject between these flamboyant flowers is sometimes hard.

Old Queensland houses often feature extensive back gardens and an architecture typical of the period in which they were built. High stumps, window hoods, stove recesses were all common on these old homes.
Prunus flowers have been used as a ceramic decoration in many parts of the world, but I particularly like the Mak’Merry studio version for their bold shapes and bright colours. This early 20th Scottish ceramic studio deserves to be warmly remembered.
Plants, gardens and pools have been a lifelong interest of mine and paintings of gardens are often part of my work.
Nasturtium leaves and flowers are always a popular still life subject. They are always colourful and sometimes triffid like, giving rise to a great variety of still life paintings.
I like horses and have many sketchbooks of horse drawings to use as the source material for paintings.
