Nude

Hi sorry I have been away for so long. You know what its like. Life is so busy. This is an oil I have attempted for Ringwood Art Society's artist of the Year. It was a bit of a struggle and could have probably had some more work done on it but I ran out of time. I had to allow it drying time. Delivery is this Saturday.

Preparation

My latest picture. This one was requested by my daughter for her room. She wants a vintage feel in her bedroom with lots of black and white. Gone are the dolls and teddies. They grow up so fast.

A special moment

This painting is inspired by a lady called Dee who is currently battling cancer. She recently went to Queensland and took some wonderful shots and had them compiled in book form. It was like a professional photography book. This is from one of her images that she captured so well.

Dance of the Fairies

Imagine this cropped, I need to find a programme to do this as the one on my computer is no good at present. My fairy dancing is going into the Pastel Society exhibition coming up in October. This painting was inspired by my childrens ballet concert.

Young Love

I took my daughter and her boyfriend into the city and had them pose in a variety of places around the streets of Melbourne. After we all recovered from the awkwardness, the photos turned out rather well. From these pictures I have taken inspiration for this painting "Young Love".

Warming up

Beautiful ballet dancers from my children's dance concert. The routine was quite comical depicting children in a ballet class. There was always some one being a little bit naughty or doing the wrong thing on stage.

Stop in the name of the law

Hello, good to post after so long. I have had some house guests and uni stuff going on. Life is so busy. It would be nice to just do the things that you want to do instead of the things you have to do.

This painting depicts English policemen in conversation with a man on a bike. Whether it is a friendly encounter or something a little more on the darker side is left up to your imagination.
