Australian LandscapesI love the Australian landscape's rugged tenacity in the face of adversity, its timeless presence if I sit still and let it rise, its mythic redgums in (usually) dry creekbeds, and its early Settlement heritage.
I love to paint landscapes en plein air, despite Australia's myriad flies and other critters! Contact me for prices. |
Overseas Memories
I remember my travel destinations most intensely by painting them.

Portraits
Since 1968 I have been drawing and painting ‘from life’, both figures and portraits. I am particularly pleased when my portrait work captures not only a good illusion and likeness, but also some ‘presence’ about the individual portrayed, which may far outlast the life of that person.
It seems that humanity has always made images of humans, whether those images are primitive archetypes of fertility, or of royalty and power, or of just another individual at a particular moment in his or her life. My work is part of that deeply human urge, to make a relatively permanent symbol of a definitely evanescent human. Contact me for prices. |
Life Draw & PaintThe act of figurative painting can ‘possess’ me.

Early Work
I now recognise my early portraits and figurative works as some of my best.
