Firestorm!


Oil painting on canvas  16in. x 20in. SOLD
This painting was purely experimental.  I wanted to try a larger painting using some of the technique I have been using on my smaller paintings, with particular attention to painterly brushwork, bright colours and an abstract background.  I am happy with the result.

Flowering Gum Still Life


Oil on board 7in. x 7in. SOLD

This small painting presented quite a challenge, taking all that information and simplifying it down into impressionistic manageable shapes.  A combination of textures also added to the challenge, but it was most rewarding.  I particularly like the bright colours and the shadows.
