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.
Watercolours
These watercolour paintings show scenes from Queensland country life. Farm houses, farmers and farm animals feature in these paintings.
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.
Markets
Many vibrant market scenes can be seen on weekend mornings around Brisbane. They make great subject matter for paintings.
Portrait Class
A collection of portrait studies in oil and pastel completed over a number of years from various Life Portrait sessions that I attended.
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.
Gardens and Pools
Plants, gardens and pools have been a lifelong interest of mine and paintings of gardens are often part of my work.
