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.
Venice
The vivid life of Venice is reflected in its canals. The long morning and evening shadows add to the mood.
Watercolours
These watercolour paintings show scenes from Queensland country life. Farm houses, farmers and farm animals feature in these paintings.
Coffee Pots
Slender, graceful coffee pots add their distinctive beauty to a still life painting, often complementing the stalks of the flowers.
Farm Sheds
Time has stood still for decades on many Queensland farms thus making them interesting subjects for painting.
Oriental
These paintings feature our local flowers in an Asian context. We live in an oriental hemisphere and of necessity that affects our life.
Warm Sunlight
Paintings of warm sunlight falling onto a tropical veranda warm the heart and lift the spirits.
Chinese Lanterns
Chinese Lantern plant is easy to grow, feeds the birds, lasts a long time in a vase and flowers for most of the year. Its exquisite flowers make great subject material for painting.
Hens and Chickens
Chickens make a great subject for painting and as such they are the images of great domestic bliss. Paintings of them are often found in many well-contented homes.
Winter Blooms
Winter flowering species like gordonia and camellia make good subjects for still life painting. Their beautiful blooms last well in a vase.
