Tibouchinas
The royal purple of the tibouchina flowers beautify the streets and suburbs of Brisbane. Their rich colours can be seen almost all year round in Brisbane.
Work
This series of paintings is about everyday workers going about their jobs. While some work is labour intensive other work is quietly domestic.
Yellow Cosmos
Yellow cosmos flowers add a touch of warmth, happiness and sunshine to any still life painting. They bring joy to everyone who views them
Around Town
A collection of quick sketches of houses and shops from around towns in South East Queensland. These are preparatory sketches prior to starting finished paintings of these subjects.
Teapot
I have used a decorated teapot many times in still life studies. The decal on the side of the teapot has been modified many times to suit the accompanying flowers.
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.
Log Cabin
Love, persistence skill and care go into the making of Log Cabin quilts, and these still life paintings are an attempt to catch a little of the spirit that is sewn in to these fabrics.
Cup of Gold
The Cup of Gold flower is large, beautiful and poisonous. Visited by bats in the dead of night, it lends mystique and character to a still life painting.
Old Vehicles
The post features paintings of several old vehicles, left to decay after their working life has ended.
