  • A Special Australian Landscape

    The inspiration for this painting came from a visit to the Streeton Exhibition in Sydney early 2021. Quite a number of Australian impressionists took to the beaches around Sydney and produced many notable paintings.

    This painting takes you to Manly Beach and a view across to Shelly Beach.

  • The early morning catches an interesting mood. The air is clear, the sun is bright, it is not yet hot, the day is full of promise. The light catches the awning's vivid red and the communication tower at the end of the jetty. There is some fascination with the water lapping the shore, the ripples and the shadows under the jetty.
  • While the land is harsh and dry, it holds a rugged, colourful beauty. Reds, blues and purples have to be experienced to be believed. It is truly a wonderful country that Namatjira and Hermannsburg have encouraged us to share.
  • East Point Reserve, Darwin

    A great Australian Landscape

    The tropical sunsets over Darwin are spectacular. I want to capture for the balance between the sunset and the fading light on the water, and then there is the tropical cloud with the sun departing but leaving an illuminated skyline and upper cloud. There is something special about a “graceful” Darwin sunset at East Point Reserve.

    I am always looking forward to a week or two in Darwin each year to catch up with friends and a bar-be-que with on the foreshore.

  • The mighty Cooper Creek weaves its way through the great Australian Outback. The “river” has such a certainty about it, that it is hard to see this as Burke & Wills country. How could these explorers perish with abundant food sources.  The painting is about meaning. We look to the reflections in the water and wonder what went before.

    An early morning rest at Port Adelaide provides the opportunity to marvel at the emerging dawn. The reflections of the sunrise with the blue hue above the horizon topped with a pink layer before merging into the morning sky is the fascination. This autumn morning had the added bonus of a late moon and reflections on the still Port River.

    We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. This view of Mt Ward is the iconic vista painted from the angle of Split Rock. I have tried to capture the essence of the landscape, the feel the morning breeze before the afternoon heat. Colour before the afternoon haze There is an interaction between the ruggedness and the beauty. Stretching out past Mt Ward we see the characteristic purple hue as the distant peaks fade into the horizon. Split Rock is a tea break stop along the famous Ridgetop Tour, which best exemplifies the character of this region.
  • Inspiration comes from the Streeton Exhibition in Sydney early 2021.

    A number of Australian impressionists took to the northern beaches Sydney and produced some notable paintings.

    Painted from a 2019 trip to the secluded and laid-back coastal town of Norah Head on NSW's Central Coast. You can just imagine the unspoilt coastline Australia's early settlers would have come across.
  • We talk about the patience of the fisherman. In this work I have tried to capture the solitude of the fisherman. Half looking out to sea, contemplative, not really expecting a bite, but at peace with the waves lapping up around the ankles. The Francois Peron National Park, Denham WA is a special place.
