This painting was created with the battles, losses, survivors, the total exhaustion and more in mind of those that served in Gallipoli (and other wars). It portrays the fact that after these traumatic battles that from out of the dust and dirt and horror – survivors and heroes do come home. Not all are lost. Although some of those pour soldiers came home mere ghosts of the those that actually left to fight for their country. Please note...
Even though I was born in Scotland, I have always loved the Australian bush and the old Aussie way of life. I love the old Aussie films on the lifestyle of the people living hard times pioneering the Australian bush and heat and the journies they had. I enjoy the old Aussie sense of humour and slang. I especially love the dinkum Aussie bloke/battler who roved from one town to the next shearing and picking up what work he could along the way which...
This nude was created after sketching a model that had posed for me in a myriad of positions. It was a fabulous morning of different lights and poses and depths of concentration for us both. It is a challenge for a model to hold a pose for a period of time however I am grateful for the model to have held this particular one. I also wanted to create this particular piece of artwork in something a little different from my normal nudes. I base...

I feel it is quite a simple little piece of artwork with much texture and defining of the colours of our West Australian wheatbelt. I too love this type of...
Title: “After Glow” I used a model for this piece and could envisage it being created as a nude in such lovely deep yet vibrant colours of purples, mauves and pinks with a deliciously black background to enhance the image. It is a contemporary piece created from a nude model. I wanted to create a warm aura effect glowing from the curvaceous body and its curves. I really like this piece and interestingly enough so do many ladies. It is...
