Veranda
A sunny veranda looking out over a tropical garden has inspired many of my paintings. We would all like to have the time to relax in such a comfortable spot.
Brisbane Houses
Brisbane has many charming and quirky early houses. They make for great subject matter for painting.
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.
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.
Watercolours
These watercolour paintings show scenes from Queensland country life. Farm houses, farmers and farm animals feature in these paintings.
Warm Sunlight
Paintings of warm sunlight falling onto a tropical veranda warm the heart and lift the spirits.
Queensland Homes
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.
Picket Fences
Paintings of picket fences from around Brisbane homes.
Places of the Heart
Places of the heart is a group of paintings around the theme of home. The paintings try to capture the peace we feel when we are in our most familiar place, the home.
Windows
Windows give character to a room by filtering the exterior light and atmosphere. Paintings of windows open a chink in the domestic interior, hinting of wider worlds outside.
