51cm (W) x 76.5cm (H) x 3.5cm (D)  
Oils worked over acrylic paint and texture paste on stretched canvas, ready to hang

There is something freeing about doing an abstract piece - you start with a basic idea and then let the painting take you where it wants to go. This one started from cut outs of random shapes, scrubbed in with oils over a layer of textured acrylic work and texture paste.

"JUST LOOKING"

$440
76.5cm (W) x 76.5cm (H) x 3.5cm (D)  
Oils worked over acrylic paint and texture paste on stretched canvas, ready to hang

I just love to capture the tranquility and peace of life beneath the waves - all its beauty and creatures, which one day, may sadly be gone. Seals are known for their curiosity, and here they just want to have a look at what's going on, but are keeping their distance.

I love where I live - the peace and tranquility of the country is 2nd to none.  The little surprises you come across in your daily life make you realise you really aren't alone in the world, if you just stop to take in what nature, and the great Australian backyard, has to offer you.

"HEADING TO THE LIGHT"

$440
76.5cm (W) x 76.5cm (H) x 3.5cm (D)
Swirls of texture paste, covered by Acrylic paints for background with final layers and detail done in oil paints, finished with a satin spray varnish for protection, ready to hang.

I have lived along the coast all my life, and my love of the ocean, it's creatures and the peace are all factors that inspire me to paint these underwater pieces. My love of colour is always evident and reflected in the vibrancy and boldness. My works are very impressionistic and start with an often busy background of colour and texture in acrylics, which I then paint over the top of in oils. I want these backgrounds to add their own interest to a painting in their mark making, but not take away from the main painting on top, and I invite the viewer to get up close and personal and look at what's going on in the many layers.
