Gates and Fences
Fences and gates give us a small corner of tranquillity in a troubled world. These painting try to capture the peace of that secluded bower.
Farm Scenes
Farm scenes lend themselves to paintings. Any collection of sheds, trees, machinery and animals is interesting. Just find the right angle and a painting appears.
Dappled Light
There is something magical about the way dappled light dances through the leaves and casts patterns underneath that makes it a joy to paint.
Purple and Blue
Blue and purple flowers are featured in this still life post. I grow many of these flowers for my paintings or garner them from neighbouring streets.
Kitchens
Old Queensland houses have plenty of character and that is what I have tried to capture in this series of paintings.
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!
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.
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.
Watercolours
These watercolour paintings show scenes from Queensland country life. Farm houses, farmers and farm animals feature in these paintings.
