This one is slightly different but it is very special to me. I caught this shot of my brother, Ken, who was 2 years older than I am, as the sun was going down; I think he may have been watching a Buzzard over the cliffs of Portreath in Cornwall. I don’t have many photos of him but this one, which I have made part painting which is rubbish I know, who paints a sun like that? Well I found it hard to paint with the computer mouse. I forced the grain in the shot to look a bit like a canvas painting. But anyway, this one I like as it sums him up as a person. He loved nature, bird & animal watching, painting, craft making, photography, flowers, plants, gardening, and the outdoor life. He was in his element when he managed to get a job on a huge estate in Cornwall to help look after the grounds. This is where he died 5 years ago lying on the ground in a place he loved so much with the sun on his face and the animals and birds around him. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to go on. So, this is for Ken, my dear big brother with love from me, I miss you my friend. The shot was taken on my Canon AE1 35mm camera about 20 odd years ago and scanned into the computer.

A very recent commission, but I wanted to put it on here because it contains a lot of one of my favourite aspects of painting horses and that is the rendition of tack. I love the tones in leather and the hard contrast you get off the metal bits. / Soft pastel of course.

How could you resist composing a shot like this? Clear blue winter sky. Bright red roof. Highly visible yellow signs. And a laconic Aussie sign that says “Keep Right” while the arrow points left! This is the famous Ettamogah Pub, just outside Albury in New South Wales. I’ve stopped here many times and shot the pub in many different weather conditions, but when I stopped there briefly on June 5 this year, the sky was flawless. It was also a marvellous counterpoint for the fresh red paint on the distinctive metal roof. The Ettamogah Pub is based on a fictional pub in a famous Outback cartoon series. It all started with the late Ken Maynard, an Australian police officer who began contributing cartoons in 1958 to a magazine called “The Australasian Post”. His fictional “Ettamogah Pub” – and its strong-jawed Outback drinkers in their blue singlets and shorts – became so famous that someone had the great idea of reconstructing the pub in real life. Interestingly, the project posed a special problem for the architects because there were no right angles or straight lines in Maynard’s rendering! The pub is a huge tourist attraction – despite the sign outside that proclaims with dry Aussie humour, “Free Beer Tomorrow’’. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way.

This old button accordion belonged to my wife’s Great-Grandmother who apparently got it when she was a little girl. I have simplified it and left off a lot of the graphics but have tried to loosely interpret the age of the instrument. It is painted with a combination of Winsor and Newton, Daniel Smith, and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The texture of the cold-pressed Arches paper allows this particular type of large grained single pigment paint to granulate and collect in very interesting and unusual ways. The original of this piece has been sold but its original size was 14” x 10”. It belongs in the private collection of the accordion player for the Celtic/Rock/Punk band The Mighty Regis. 10th Place Finisher in Vintage Feel To It challenge. / 4th Place Finisher in Old Time Music and Instr… challenge. /
Everyone has seen the paintings of the roses on a piano keyboard symbolizing romance, etc… But, does this really motivate a child to practice. I don’t think so. Driven by humor, this piece was originally going to be titled “I thought I told you to practice.” After running the idea past a friend of mine, he suggested calling it “Chopstix.” Although, he wanted me to add a couple severed fingers to the piece which is not really my style. I opted to leave the fingers out of the painting despite his insistence. The piece is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The interaction of this paint and paper cause some fantastic granulation effects. It’s original size is 14” x 10”. 5th Place Finisher in On The Edge challenge. / 4th Place Finisher in Sharp & Dangerous Metals challenge. / Featured in Realist Traditional Art group in August 2009. /
This is a painting of my old Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar peghead. I used this guitar professionally for many years so I thought it deserved to be captured with paint.

The Chuck Taylor All-Star Tennis Shoe was introduced in 1917 and changed the face of sports footwear for generations. They are still popular today and remain relatively unchanged although their country of production is different. These are a pair of my old beat up “Chucks” that just beckoned to be painted. I was going to up the values of the shoes a touch in this composition but I kind of liked the subtle glow that was achieved by keeping the shoes lighter so I left it in its current state. The piece is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The Rublev paint adds nice texture when repeatedly glazed. The original is 14” x 10” in size. Featured in Painters in Modern Times group in August 2009. /
This is a painting of some poorly plumbed hot water pipes at my work place. The piece is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The combination of large granule pigments with the course grained Arches paper creates some very interesting textures. The original size of the piece is 7” x 5”.

It is amazing that these keys came into my possession but here they are. Can they open the gates to the highly secret military facility nicknamed “Area 51?” Perhaps they open the doors that reveal the secrets of the crashed alien craft recovered at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Only time will tell. But seriously, the piece is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The background is Daniel Smith’s Sedona Red from their Primatek series. The interaction of the paint and paper create interesting textural blends that add depth and interest to the piece.

This is not for sale at the moment. You may have seen a shot like this in my collection of my brother Ken with the sun going down into the sea?
