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.

Oil paints on board.
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.

Oil paints on 300 gsm watercolour paper.
A3 (420mm - 295mm)

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.

Oil paints on canvas over board.
A1 (840mm - 600mm) in size.
