Oil Painting on Canvas. Where are you taking me, I am happily lost at sea with you.
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.
Original Oil Painting with a computer alteration to get grainy night feel.
Original was pencil, ink drawing. Wouldn’t you love to do be able to do this sometimes? Often we are required to put on a face that does not reflect how we feel. This is kind of the idea that we can do this and still keep the integrity of our real feelings below.
Aerial photographs don’t work unless you fly with a good pilot, or you fly yourself. This shot was the result of a cooperative chopper pilot who could imagine what I wanted, late evening light (for summer in Antarctica), and a chance flight for staff at the end of a long day guiding tourists. / / Lucky me… Available for purchase as a Limited Edition print from my website
Just south of Ross in Tasmania lies a beautiful little structure. Try not to miss it.
Original is oil pastel on paper. I just can’t seem to fully move on from the Alice thing.
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.
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
The Henry Ross Lookout is on the Kennedy Highway (part of the Savannah Way), which cuts its way up the Macalister Range above Smithfield, a township in the Northern Beaches stretch north of Cairns, to Kuranda at the top of the range. The Kennedy Highway affords spectacular views of the low lying areas between the range and the ocean, and also takes one through lush rainforest areas. I took this exposure on a beautiful clear day. If you would like a High Definition wallpaper of this image, I have put a wallpaper version over at flickr:

This is a painting I did a couple of years ago which has been photoshopped. NO MANS LAND / I dreamed a dream of lands far away / Where there is no night and there is no day / Floating above a lake so calm in colors bold / Beneath soft clouds in skies of purple and gold / Peace and joy surround me in this vision so true / Where dreams go on forever for me and for you.
The Ross Fountain in West Princes Street gardens with part of Edinburgh Castle (the Hospital block) in the background. Cast near Paris, France in the Durenne ironworks in the early 1860’s. It was an exhibit in the Great Exhibition in London in 1862 and was purchased for Edinburgh by Daniel Ross a local gun maker and philanthropist. After much deliberation as to what to do with it, it was finally assembled in West Princes Street Gardens in 1872. The gold coloured iron structure shows a standing naked woman at the top surrounded by four more seated naked nymphettes representing the arts, science, poetry and industry. Below the first tier are a collection of mermaids. The celebration of the naked female is typical of classical French design, but it wasn’t appreciated by everyone, Dean Ramsay (1793 – 1872) whose church, St. John’s was nearby called the fountain “grossly indecent and disgusting”. The Ross fountain is now a Category B listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 27911) under the care of Historic Scotland. Edinburgh Castle dominates the city of Edinburgh like no other castle in Scotland, and Edinburgh Castle is unequalled in the whole of the British Isles. Over one thousand years of history sit on top of the famous Edinburgh rock. In recent years there have been concerns about rocks falling from the cliffs onto the gardens below, so the rather ugly netting has been draped on the rock face. Hopefully, over time, it will weather enough to be less noticeable. Princes Street Gardens at the heart of Edinburgh’s City Centre were once a lake called Nor’ Loch. The Loch, which had been the trash dump of Edinburgh for centuries was drained in order to improve access from the New Town to the Old Town. Later, the Nor’ Loch was transformed into the beautiful Princes Street Gardens we see today.

BEST VIEWED LARGER SALE laminated print to unknown buyer Heritage Listed Ross Bridge / Quite rightly the pride of the village this beautiful stone bridge was constructed by convicts in 1836. It is the third oldest bridge still standing in Australia and is recognised as the most important convict-built bridge in the country. It was constructed on the orders of Governor Arthur and designed by John Lee Archer. Built by convicts its beautiful stonework is the result of two convict stonemasons – Daniel Herbert and James Colbeck. They were paid one shilling a day. Herbert, who had been transported for highway robbery in 1827, was freed after the bridge was completed and is buried in the Old Cemetery. He is credited with the beautiful carvings on the side of the bridge. Experts have described the carvings as ‘possibly the richest achievement of the earlier colonial period if not the most significant sculpture on any edifice in the Commonwealth.’ Leslie Greener, who was largely responsible for discovering that Daniel Herbert was responsible for the carvings, has written: ‘Ross Bridge is the most beautiful of its kind today. The carvings have in them that delight in the shapes themselves that our sculptors lost somewhere in the 13th century.

Please View Large Eilean Donan is a Scottish Heritage Site. Wikipedia © The original castle was built in the early 13th century as a defence against the Vikings. By the late 13th century it had become a stronghold of the Mackenzies of Kintail (later the Earls of Seaforth). In 1511, the Macraes, as protectors of the Mackenzies, became the hereditary Constables of the Castle. / In 1539 Iain Dubh Matheson, chief of the Clan Matheson died whilst defending the Castle on Eilean Donan island against the Clan MacDonald of Sleat on behalf of the Clan Macrae and Clan Mackenzie. / In April 1719 the castle was occupied by Spanish troops attempting to start another Jacobite Rising. The castle was recaptured, and then demolished, by three Royal Navy frigates on 10–13 May 1719. The Spanish troops were defeated a month later at the Battle of Glen Shiel. / The castle was restored in the years between 1919 and 1932 by Lt. Col. John MacRae-Gilstrap. The restoration included the construction of an arched bridge to give easier access to the castle. In 1983 The Conchra Charitable Trust was formed by the Macrae family to care for the Castle. A curious distinction is that it has one of only two left-handed spiral staircases in a castle in Great Britain, as the reigning king at the time of building held a sword with his left hand. One strange feature of the castle today is the grey field gun from the Great War, positioned outside the building by a war memorial and fountain dedicated to the men of the Macrae clan who died in the war. / Eilean Donan is the home of the Clan Macrae. In 2001, the island had a population of just one person.
