Horses
I enjoy sketching and painting horses. They are patient animals and will stand still for easy sketching.

Long shadows in a painting tell part of the story depicted in the painting. However the shadows have to be consistent, accurate and convincing.
Fences and gates give us a small corner of tranquillity in a troubled world. These painting try to capture the peace of that secluded bower.
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.
There is something magical about the way dappled light dances through the leaves and casts patterns underneath that makes it a joy to paint.
Old Queensland houses have plenty of character and that is what I have tried to capture in this series of paintings.
Queensland landscapes vary from place to place with the many different parts of our celebrated country. However it’s all exciting, every bit!
These watercolour paintings show scenes from Queensland country life. Farm houses, farmers and farm animals feature in these paintings.
Time has stood still for decades on many Queensland farms thus making them interesting subjects for painting.
I like horses and have many sketchbooks of horse drawings to use as the source material for paintings.
