.... yet again, a forest...

It is works like this one that I enjoy the most. The depth, the light, the colours, the strange world. This one currently hangs in my flat, as I rather like it. Also done in oil paints and on board 530 mm x 400 mm.

Crash and Burn

Oil paint on canvas
300 mm x 250 mm

Part of a series I began on planes. As the title suggests it is a crash. I was also playing with the angle on which images are done on at the time. I've done a few on angles much like this now and have come to enjoy the look.

Abstract Mountain

Oil paint on canvas 520 mm x 400 mm

This was originally a mountain scene, but as I worked the image it slowly became what you see. Well to tell the truth, before it was a mountain scene it was a red flower. Strange how many evolutions a work can go through before it is finished.

Splatter tells a cold, cold story

These are a story of a mans travels through a mountain pass. All the images are oil paints on A3 canvas board (420mm x 300mm) there are more to come in the adventure through the cold cold mountain range. Where is this man going? Who can say?

Through a Prism at the Edge of the Woodland

I finished this image late October 2011. It is on loose canvas (1060mm x 600mm) and done using oil paints. You will not believe that this is Foxton Beach, would you? Well yeah I have taken some creative license with it. Haha. A whole heap in fact.
I like to let the brushes and paints I work with dictate my imagery, and my moods and thoughts to dictate the colours and vibes of a work.

The Tree Duo

For such a small piece many hours went in. There was the toning of the sky, the texture of the paint, and composition drawings to get right.

A4 (295mm - 210mm)

Shifting Trees

With this work I was toying with visual shifting. Created by painting in the background then the white negative space to form the trees. The back of the blue man's head was last.

Home To The Water Faeries

This is and oil painting I finished late 2011. I enjoy painting scenes like this one. I set out to create a magical place to play, a place where one could be free to enjoy oneself.
