Buffalo sculpture

I found a piece of sandstone about 12 months ago. I decided to see how difficult it was to sculpt in. It turned out to be soap stone.

Expressionist art

Twelve years ago I watched the movie about the life and art of Jackson Pollack. I had only seen his painting, Blue Poles from the entrance to the Sydney opera house. I loved it complex simplicity and loved the way that no matter who looked at his work they had to make a decision about it. I decided to see how difficult it was to paint like he did. It is very difficult. I have persisted and now twelve years later my work is seeing some returns. Here are two of my latest paintings.

Painting Expressionism

Its been some time since I have posted. I continue to paint Expressionist art. I am getting better at it all the time. I like my latest series of paintings more than the best of the last series. I have sold two of my works recently and have been a finalist in a couple of larger exhibitions. I am planning to exhibit soon in Redlands. Later this year I will exhibit my work at Arana Hills for a month as a solo exhibition of between 7 and 10 of my paintings.

The caste of the mushroom

A little bit of recycling

I made a small small fire to melt aluminium. This piece is made from about ten drink cans and a piece of petrified wood I polished.

A small quartz egg

I’ve Don a bit of free hand work to sculpt this egg in Rose Quartz

Paintings from 2017

I have been busy this year. I have been painting and exhibiting. i have had two solo exhibitions and will have booked a solo exhibition for next year by the time this post goes up.

New Paintings

I have been busy over the last few months but I have been painting as much as I can. I am enjoying the painting that I am getting done because of the variety that I find I am able to get by dripping and flicking the paint onto the surface of the canvas. I then allow the paint and the canvas to interact as the paint dries. All of these paintings are for sale. Email me for for price.
