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.
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.
Nasturtium Still Life
Nasturtium leaves and flowers are always a popular still life subject. They are always colourful and sometimes triffid like, giving rise to a great variety of still life paintings.
Gum Blossoms
Many different types of eucalypt produce flowers. These flowers lend much character to our streets and suburbs. The blossoms make beautiful subject matter for still life painting.
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.
