Description
I paint for pleasure, and can see beauty in the many different places I visit.
Being in nature has a big influence on me, especially in the area where I live in Margaret River with its wonderful atmospheric and distinctive seasons and there is always inspiration everywhere.
Acrylic paint dries quickly and this allows me to paint without fear of error. I can easily change and paint over my work if needed and I can still play with colours, values and where the light source is coming from without having to wait for the atmospheric effect to envelop my painting. This enables me to experiment with all colours while still being able to achieve the desired effect I am searching for.
The subjects I choose to paint are quite varied, there are many things that jump out and strike me as beautiful at the time. It could be a still life, a figure study, a vineyard, animals, flowers or dogs. I love to paint dogs, they each have their own personality and I try to capture that in my work.
I am waiting with great anticipation for the Open Studio experience, where I can exhibit my new work, talk with all the visitors and share this painting experience.
