The Teapot
I have used the same china teapot in many of my still life paintings over the years. It has been with me on my journey of discovery in this medium.
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.
The Lily
The Lily makes a great subject for still life painting. Their colourful forms give rise to endless variety. Many of the lilies shown here were grown in my own garden.
Eucalypt Flowers
Beautiful eucalypt flowers bring with them the pungent smell of crushed gum leaves and that often awakens memories from earlier years.
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.
Mandarins
Mandarins are often featured in modern still life paintings because of their beautiful colour. I have gathered together in this post some of my paintings of this fruit.
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!
Happy Flowers
Colourful nasturtiums provide happy flowers that brighten every home they come in to. Their brightness cheers every room.
