Oil Painting on Canvas. Where are you taking me, I am happily lost at sea with you.
Oil on Canvas. The great trek to work, is it evening or morning that he embarks on his journey into the big city. Reflections on how work can dominate family life. Ironically we need to work to acheive the Australian suburban dream.
I used to love spring. Sitting in damp cape weed near numerous gurgling springs and streams watching or the summer insects emerge. Sadly the water has not been as prevalent has it has been in the past during spring.
Typical Melbourne Day. True Love can be found in the rain.
Conte Crayon on paper. This one is inspired by my favourite work, “Collins Street at 5 pm” by John Brack. I was thinking of Flinders Street/ Spencer Street Stations when I drew this. I just used to get lost in the human sea of faces that use to flow up and down Melbournes Streets and they conjured up all sorts of feelings and emotions.
Cool Off, after a long day at work by bathing of feet in sea. Inspired by St Kilda Area. Original is oil Pastel on coloured pastel paper.
Alice and friends, pen and ink with a touch of computer altering
Original Oil Painting with a computer alteration to get grainy night feel.
Great Aussie tradition at this time of year is the Office Christmas do which together with a few drinks produces many a work place romance
Gateway to the West of Melbourne. I lived on the wrong side of the Yarra and Maribyrnong while going to Uni many, many, many years ago back when Willie Beach was somewhere you went to get beaten up. Original was a Conte Crayon Drawing which now proudly hangs in Mum’s hall way. Early work of mine.
I was bored today so I tried out some water based oil pastels.
Found this net casting spider out the back and he was fascinating to watch and looked completely different close up, one of about 50 shots.
Oil on board. Reminds me of going to school and catching the old w-class trams along St Kilda Road. Old work.
Oil Painting inspired by my days as a volunteer firefighter. Something we face every Summer in Australia. In some areas you can live in constant fear of the threat of fire. Not sure if I’ve finished this one yet, but hey, I’ll give it a run. Two of the prime objectives of a fire fighting organisation is to protect life and protect property. Here the characters are endeavouring to do both without a thought that they are putting their own lives at risk. *ALL PROFITS FROM THIS WORK WILL BE DONATED TO VICTORIAN BUSHFIRE APPEAL**
Original is oil paint on canvas. Inspired by Binney Street, Euroa and every other town like her. As you can gather from the title, I had a bogan upbringing. Small towns, great life in retrospect but bugger all to do. In fairness to my hometown, there is a little more than a milkbar, pub and the co-op, but not much more, Still we had fun, sort of. For all those who are, like me at heart, repressed bogans, the cars are based on an EK or FB ute and an EH or EJ Holden ute…. you decide. Just one note, if this makes no sense I was a little pickled when I painted it.
Original is oil pastel on paper. I just can’t seem to fully move on from the Alice thing.
Oil pastel work, study for much larger work.
Original is watercoloured pencil pre-wash. Alice begins to get frustrated with all those who offer help but are no help at all.
Original Acrylic on paper, Bit more Blackman with this one. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
Another Alice in Wonderland inspired work, have one more in me which shall be the grand finale, oil paint on paper.
I know what I said but I still have to keep going with Alice. Oil pastel on paper. “The cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good natured, she thought. Still, it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with repect.” -Lewis Carroll
Late night latte. This one is a little bit of an experiment for me. Texta/Ink drawing. Some times I just need that last latte before stumps. (As featured on Morning T.V., no less!)
