This is a scratchboard 12" x 8". The photo reference was taken by a friend's daughter Molly Senneker. Thank you for the beautiful photo.

Sunset

I went to the pastel society exhibition last week and was impressed with the variety and standard of the paintings. There were a lot of very loose paintings which inspired me to paint this piece. It is on a large colorfix paper, 100cm x 70cm. Lots of fun to paint!

Some more scratchboards: "Emu" and "A Trio of Giraffes"

Finished: Bagging the Copra

Sea side Adventures

This picture was done for www.teamnick.org.au charity event for November. The photo reference was from Prue Metzke. I enjoyed completing this painting, it all happened easily. Lately I am having trouble completing works for various reasons. I think I have too many things that I want to paint, so I keep starting a new one before the last one is finished. Does anyone else have that problem?

Some rough drawings for bigger works. Swans or Pelicans?

Some little doodles: Crazy teapot kittens and teapot puppies

Bagging the Copra: Work in progress

This is from my recent time in Vanuatu, where the kids and family were all working on getting the copra bagged and ready to be picked up for transport. Little more work to go.

A litter of Puppies

Hi, this is my newest piece of work. Eight very different characters creating this beautiful litter of puppies. Each has his own lovely personality. Had a wonderful time with the rich complimentary colours. Enjoy!

Mornington Beach finished

Finished this piece today. I have really enjoyed working on this. I had been contemplating painting this for a while. We went down to Mornington on a really hot day in Summer. I took a photo of my daughter strolling a head of me. There she is in the white dress. The lovely thing about the photo were the wonderful reflections in the water.

Mornington Beach: Work in progress

Scratch board in progress: Draught horses

The Windy Path

The Windy Path is a charcoal on water color paper. I loved the feel of the tree and the way the limbs twisted and turned through the mist.

The streets of Venice

This painting was done in pastel and the reference photo was taken when I was in Venice last year. We had a gondala ride through the magical waterways of Venice.

Feeding the birds

This is a picture of a little girl feeding the birds. I used a reference photo that my cousin took with her permission.
