Black & White Caricature

My latest caricature was created as a gift for a friend. I decided to render it in black & white with grey tones to keep it very simple. I used Artline pens for detail together with grey colour pencil for soft tones.

Group Caricature

Another fun caricature just completed of a group of guys who worked together in Telecom and it was a gift from all of them to the main guy in the middle..Eddie..for his 70th birthday! There were plenty of crazy 'work' stories floating around for this caricature so I ended up encorporating a few to create the scene. Lots of fun.

Blue Gum Art Show

My logo design printed on massive banners displayed on Pacific Highway, Ourimbah, advertising the very first Blue Gum Art Show at Ourimbah Public School, of which I coordinated 100 artists and their works on September 19, 2010.

Blue Gum Art Show Paintings

These were the three paintings I had for sale in the Blue Gum Art Show. The watercolour painting "Stormwood" in the timber frame was the painting that sold on the day. I will enter the watercolour painting "Fern Fronds" and the acrylic painting on canvas, "Sunbakers At Clovelly" at upcoming art shows on the central coast NSW. It's always exciting to paint and just as exciting to have people enjoy your work so much, they want to buy an art piece you created!

My latest caricature...a gift for my friend Jeni.

Inspired by the fabulous Botticelli painting

"The Birth of Venus" of course with a twist.

"Fern Fronds'

Watercolour/Gold leaf painting just completed for upcoming art shows.



I love the dynamics that lines of the object can have on the paintings.



This is one of my 'furry' favourites so far.

Caricatures

My latest caricatures were commissioned gifts to two pilots who were turning 50. They are so much fun to do and these caricatures had so many elements added that helped tell a story of the men's lives.

Sketches

Sketching ideas for a book I'm working on about the life & alter ego of my just recently passed away cat Chandler.

She was a beautiful British Shorthair cat, tough as, but almost human at times. I came to look after her when she was 10yrs old and she recently passed away at 17yrs of age.I will have to do a prequel of her life before I knew her from her previous owners.

Nature Photography

I have a Nikon D50 digital SLR camera, (love it), and for Christmas I received a Tamron lens 18 - 250mm with macro. I am always looking for a great nature moment to capture around my home in the rainforest.
