Another new painting, this is of one of tom's good friends....

cockies in a gum tree, school grounds, victor harbor 1st December 2010

this is a painting that i have just finished of a friend's little boy. A bit different to what i normally do, it is painted on recycled timber from our pantry that i gutted. i decided to"decorate" it a bit with an old spring....

another new painting of the bluff. different day, different light, different colour.

the bluff from Yilki, Victor Harbor

this is another painting of the bluff that i have just finished

These are 2 of 3 paintings I have just done for the Victor Harbor Art Show in January (unless I sell them first!)

Sunset at Victor Harbor, Friday 12th November 2010

Victor Harbor, South Australia. November 2010.

Victor Harbor Farmers Market

here are some recent pictures i have been doing using old boys annual images and maps.

Here are a few of my works....

this is a painting of a beautiful dog named Jasper who I often see around Victor Harbor, especially out the front of Anchorage .
Next time I see her (yes, Jasper is a girl) I will tell her owners
about the painting and see if they want it.....

Things are pretty good at the moment. I have just finished a couple of commissions and I got a new camera for my birthday! Here are a few attempts at "arty" photos on the beach at Victor....

these are 3 recent paintings of retro caravans. they are painted on old distressed timber taken from our pantry during renovations.

This is a painting of a very old silver plated tea pot that used to be my mums.

I recently sold this painting at Coast at Victor Harbor.

This was painted from a photo I took of a young mum walking past cibo on King William Road at Hyde Park.

The inspiration for this painting was a 1950's girls annual.

This is a painting of my dog Max when she was about 8 weeks old. She is now 13 years old and has arthritis in her back legs.We have just bought her a new off the ground bed and mattress to make her more comfortable. Good girl, Max. xx

These are a couple of paintings i did of my son, the first (in red t shirt)probably about 4 years ago now, and the other about a year ago when he was 4.

I saw this dog at the victor markets over Christmas and have never seen it again. It has such an unusual colouring and light blue eyes. I guess it was down here on holidays....

Spring in Bloomsbury Park, London. I would love to be there again.....

Paris, 2004. I was taking a picture of this fearsome dog guarding a scooter. I swear I didn't even notice the dude in the doorway!

The inspiration for this painting was a war story about fighter pilots in an old Boys Own Annual. There doesn't seem to be as much art around for boys as there is for girls, so I'm going to try to do my little bit to correct the imbalance.

I quite like grafitti, in its place. I think it looks good on industrial surfaces. In suburbia I think the contrast with nature and tidiness works well. Like with everything else, nice lines are important.
