Tithonias
Tithonias are a different plant from common sunflowers, but their bright yellow blossoms look good against a blue background.
Boats
I have long been interested in sketching and painting all kind of boats, particularly working boats and boats being worked on.
Cows
Cows are a feature of many Queensland farms. They are easy to sketch and lend a character of their own to paintings of Queensland.
Wet Seasons
Paintings of typical wet seasons in regional Australia. Farmers bear the problems caused by the flooding rains, knowing that it heralds good years to come.
Old Vehicles
The post features paintings of several old vehicles, left to decay after their working life has ended.
Queensland Landscapes
This post shows a selection of my landscapes from south east Queensland.
Tropical Pool
On coming to Queensland my imagination was fired by my first visits to the rainforest and I painted many scenes with imaginary rainforest pools.
Rose Apple
The Rose Apple tree grows in the warmer parts of Australia and produces beautiful flowers and fruit – great as a still life painting subject.
Pergolas
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.
