Veranda
A sunny veranda looking out over a tropical garden has inspired many of my paintings. We would all like to have the time to relax in such a comfortable spot.
Brisbane Houses
Brisbane has many charming and quirky early houses. They make for great subject matter for painting.
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.
Diagonals
Diagonal elements in a painting give interest and lead the eye around the painting. They can be moved to create shadows that link different elements of the painting together.
Warm Sunlight
Paintings of warm sunlight falling onto a tropical veranda warm the heart and lift the spirits.
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.
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.
Four Views of a Veranda
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.
