This painting was inspired by my Spirit Guides like all my paintings. It may stir the viewer to see what needs to be thrown away or torn down and whatever remains can provide us with an opportunity to recreate ourselves. There are many doors we walk through in our lives and this painting reminds us to close the door behind. Freeing us to do more things, which may help us to understand our choices and visions. Grounding us without unbalancing our personalities, helping us to awaken a Spiritual understanding, which can help to transform our fears and accept our paths, whatever they may be.

Acrylic on canvas, 12”x24” SOLD $1200 This painting is inspired by the heroes of an authentic tragedy which was also dramatized by Chikamatsu in 1722. Hanbei was a greengrocer from Osaka who married Ochiyo, a village beauty. There love was so strong their story became a village legend. Hanbei’s spiteful mother Omine tormented his new wife with scorn and disdain, so much so that the young couple chose to commit suicide, though Ochiyo was with child. / Perhaps they felt their love would live on, in yet another life?

This is definitely a caught in the moment photo. In this photo shoot I wanted to get a very elegant and flowing feel to the photos, but there was one moment when the model (Anne) just started to disappear into her own world and it was magical as she transformed from Anne the model to a Porcelain Doll. / www.nude-muse.com / www.nude-muse.com.au
Started in apophysis and finished in photoshop. Add to the collection of silks I have done this one is special in that it is much more textured.
Model – Desirae No matter what is happening in our lives, we always have the opportunity to make a conscious decision about what happens to us next. The defining moments in my life can be counted on my fingers… finishing school… choosing my career path… not giving up on getting the love of my life to say ‘yes’... the birth of each of my beautiful children… each moment is a precious blip in my time line that I am grateful for experiencing. I sometime wonder what would have happened if I chose not to make the decisions in my life I have and while I’m certainly not immune to making the occasional bad decision I certainly can’t complain… I’m living the life I’ve chosen for myself and that’s all I can ask for. I have always wanted to do ‘something’ with this image of Desirae but at the time of taking it my skills simply didn’t match the final image in my head… when I pressed the button on my camera this is pretty close to what I saw and I’m happy to settle for that… for the moment anyway.

Robe in South Australia is the home of this lighthouse and the rocky cliffs that wonder the coast leaving small beaches here and there. Shot taken soon after sunset as the light beam enhanced the rock face and reflected off the slow rolling waves.

My latest painting is from my wife, Leigh’s photo shoot with Michael “Bad Hand” Terry, Native American Indian. He is pictured here with his horse, “Apache”, photographed in July 2006. “Bad Hand” is his given Indian name. Michael is an accomplished Actor, Stuntman, Authenticity Expert and Technical Consultant for nearly 50 motion pictures including “Dances With Wolves” and “Last of the Mohicans.” He is currently the nation’s most well known authority on Plains Indian history. Michael’s journeys take him all across the USA where he teaches, lectures and informs the curious public on Plains Indian history, culture, and corrects may of the myths and untruths propagated and compounded by generations of television and inaccurate historical portrayal. Michael’s mission is to undo the misunderstandings about the Native Americans from history and show the kinder, gentler side of their survival as a culture. Michael was kind enough to pose for me in Pinedale, Wyoming in July while he was there giving lectures on the Plains Indians history during the annual Mountain Man Rendezvous. All the clothing, regalia, props, jewelry and such are hand-made by Michael to explain, educate and nullify myths and legends about the Plains Indians history through demonstration, story-telling and careful and accurate responses to questions posed by his audiences. Michael has posed and been painted for the last 30 plus years by the likes of Frank McCarthy, James Bama, Howard Terpning, some of the nation’s most well-known western artists. / In this image, Michael is dressed in authentic Comanche (time period 1870’s) buffalo skin coat, leggings, smock, and an otter hair hat. He is holding a US-made rifle designed especially for trade to the Indians. The stock of the U.S. government-issued rifle is covered with brass decorative tacks. There were mittens hanging around his neck (not shown here) that are also made of soft leather and were designed so that the trigger finger is gloved alone while the remaining fingers are together. The trigger guards on the specially made rifles were designed with a large opening to allow for this single gloved finger. It would be hard to feel the trigger or accurately judge the pressure on the trigger with an entire hand covered by a single mitten with only the thumb free. A lot of planning and effort went into making and trading items between the trades people and the Native Americans. My portrayal here in full winter dress and, indicative of the harsh winter months suffered b the Plains Indians. This piece, appropriately titled, “First Snow” is the first in a series of “Bad Hand”: I forwarded a .jpg of this image to Michael last evening. Much to my surprise, he responded right away and not only conveyed how much he was moved by this piece but also offered a trade of future modeling or other such services. This man has been photographed and painted by many artists over the years and he states he has never requested an original before mine! I am so humbled and honored at this request……..I am truly moved and speechless.
