Mandarins
Mandarins are often featured in modern still life paintings because of their beautiful colour. I have gathered together in this post some of my paintings of this fruit.
Queensland Landscapes
Queensland landscapes vary from place to place with the many different parts of our celebrated country. However it’s all exciting, every bit!
Happy Flowers
Colourful nasturtiums provide happy flowers that brighten every home they come in to. Their brightness cheers every room.
Italy
Paintings of Italy with its markets, colourful streets and crumbling walls. The strong sunlight and deep shadows make the ancient walls glow.
Diagonals
Diagonal elements in a painting give interest and lead the eye around the painting. They can be moved to create shadows that link different elements of the painting together.
Pen & Ink
Pen and Ink drawings have always interested me. Many of the sketches in this post illustrates a long gone way of life.
Lemons
Lemons have been used in still life paintings for hundreds of years. I have followed suit because the yellow of lemons compliments my blues.
Student Days
Early student studies feature in this blog. Some pieces show themes that have been further developed as my art progressed.
Ducks
Ducks are homely, comic figures and have a warm place in our hearts. I have often used many ducks in my still life paintings.
Lace
Making lace requires much care and skill. Fine lacework adds value and class to any object to which it is attached. I enjoy painting lace because of its ephemeral, precious values.
