“There were always in me, two women at least, / one woman desperate and bewildered, / who felt she was drowning and another who / would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, / conceal her true emotions because they / were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, / and present to the world only a smile, / an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.” / - Anais Nin medium: paint and charcoal on 300gsm smooth Arches paper size: 42×59.4cm (A2) currently listening to: Only The Lonely by The Motels

Never thought to upload this one as an actual artwork, until a friend asked to see it larger. What I like about it, is the expression is open to interpretation. It is many things at once, (sadness, determination, subordination, deep thought) and at the same time, none at all. / Also went for a renaissance-style chiaroscuro effect on this one…

Smoking. Femme fatale, film noir style. / Low-key portraits are my all time favourite thing. This image forms part of my project about smoking. I have asked everyone I have photographed for permission first. I felt it was important to be honest, up front and to respect people. I think it is still possible to get a pure image even though I have made myself known to the subject. / This was taken at Newcastle Quayside.

Continuing with this series of Infrared photographs of the landscape images that make up the Neverland Collection. This was shot in Sydney Park after a wild electical storm had lashed the smooth little hills that make up the framework of this completely artifical and totally man made park on the edge of Newtown in Sydney. The darkening shadows cast long fingers over the walkers dotted on the low sinuous hill in the background. This chiaroscuro rendering of the landscape makes this image more painterly to me that something purely photographic and this is further enhanced by the deep and luscious grain that IR film gives as its trademark effect…... within the darkness there is always a little light to be found….

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. / - Antoine de Saint-Exupery medium: graphite, charcoal and acrylic paint on 300gsm medium tooth paper. size: 42×59.4cm (A2) currently listening to: Emotion – by Destiny’s Child

This is another version of my painting, Razed I ran out of steam by the time it came to doing their hands and now I’m inclined to leave it as it is. For some reason I’m yet to fathom….the hands in my paintings are always misshapen and odd looking….as ugly as the faces are beautiful. When I’m painting faces, I’m always wondering what the person might be thinking of. I listen to music as I work and I play songs which best match the frame of mind I’m in. Inevitably, my response to the music finds its way into the expression of my subject. I suppose I associate hands not with the way people think but what they do. There often seems to me to be a vast difference in the way people think about life and love and all the important things….and how they actually behave. medium: charcoal and gesso on Arches paper. size: 42cm x 59cm (A2) currently listening to: Keyshia Cole – I Remember

Taken on Mt Evans – I like the sun dappled or chiaroscuro quality of the light.

Light and shadow plus movement.

A city full of resplendent architecture where new buildings sit like debutantes, unashamedly mixed with their old maiden aunts. Many buildings have grown old gracefully displaying an elegant decaying beauty. / Krakow was at its most beautiful at night: it had a dreamlike quality with gently lit buildings and walls bathed from soft street lights. / Post processing has involved blue tones and enhanced chiaroscuro to convey the dramatic tension between the beauty of the place and people and a painful dark past.
