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.
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.

I have long been interested in sketching and painting all kind of boats, particularly working boats and boats being worked on.

The post features paintings of several old vehicles, left to decay after their working life has ended.
Four views of the same veranda which looks out over a tropical garden. The sunlight stream in through the lattice giving a warmth and feeling of happiness to the paintings.
