Welcome to my site

This blog is a taste of the paintings I have been working on recently. My blog is new from today (19th September 2010) so please be paitient as I am still working around the system and getting used to what format looks best. At the moment my studio has a few large oil paintings in progress, I normally deal with semi-abstact landscapes that reflect my local area of Albany, Western Australia. Here is a taste of some of the larger works in progress.

Here is a detail of the above work

Another larger work still in progress

here is a picture of the site in Albany, Western Australia - where I live

                                                      here are some other pics Ihave taken

i live in a really beautiful place.

as you can see all of the above are very much works in  progress. As they are more finished I will update the work. As well as large oils I am interested in ink drawing and watercolours. I am wanting very much to get into children's books as an illustrator. There are many writers here in Albany, so i will hopefully get something off the ground. Here are some examples of my querky ink drawings - I let my imagination go a little and have some fun, hope you enjoy them.

i also enjoy animals and botanical studies, here is a little Boobok owl that is from Western Australia.

Thank you for visiting my site. Come back soon and hopefully i will have some updates and new works. Please feel free to send me comments - I love the feed back.
