Here's looking at you

Have started on a series of Australiana wildlife paintings. I just fell in love with this little guy, such a wonderful face. Just finished a Kookaburra (will post soon) and now started on a Eastern Grey Kangaroo. It is a nice change doing Australian wildlife, I think my time in the Australian Outback motivated me. Hope you like him...Original for sale and Ltd Edition prints also available in Canvas and Linen Ripple.

Scamp Day 1

This is the start of my next commission following Layla. Her name is Scamp, has the most soulful eyes, had to do her eyes real early on, have a long way to go, her colouring will constantly change as I keep working on her. Will post updates, hope you enjoy?

Layla finished

Here is the finished Layla, overall the painting is lighter than in the photo, especially her head and background. The dual green background looks great in real life, the colour really compliments her colouring. Will post in a few weeks the framed result. I get the framers to put a bronze name plate in the matting when framing. It really personalises the painting. Layla was an absolute delight to paint. I find I really connect with the animal when painting them as they slowly come to life, you really get to know them on a deeper level, just love it!!

Tiger Tiger

Just finished this boy yesterday. He took me awhile to finish, another one that I had to put the eyes in quiet early on.When the bridge on his nose started to feel quite furry and like velvet under my touch, that's when I knew he was coming alive. He is now at the framer's and hopefully the colours for matting and frame we have chosen will do him justice. My framer's Lou and Natalie (husband and wife) are wonderful people, they have looked after me from the start, back in 1993. Whenever I have to get something framed really fast, they always come good, never fail me...it makes a lot of difference when you have that support. Hope you like him? SOLD

Beluga Whales

I fell in love with the Beluga Whales when I was visiting Canada, their skin is like polished marble, they are so graceful as they move through the water. A joy to behold.
