Cattle
Images of grazing cows convey a sense of peace, tranquillity and satisfaction. These are the very qualities often missing in our own lives.
The Teapot
I have used the same china teapot in many of my still life paintings over the years. It has been with me on my journey of discovery in this medium.
Gates and Fences
Fences and gates give us a small corner of tranquillity in a troubled world. These painting try to capture the peace of that secluded bower.
Peach Blossoms
Peach flowers outside my studio herald the coming of spring each year and each year they beckon me to paint them.
Farm Scenes
Farm scenes lend themselves to paintings. Any collection of sheds, trees, machinery and animals is interesting. Just find the right angle and a painting appears.
Log Cabin Pattern
I have used a beautiful quilt made by Dana Moon as the background in many of my still life paintings.
Painting Box
These small paintings of scenes around South East Queensland try to capture the energy and movement in the situation in front of the artist.
The Lily
The Lily makes a great subject for still life painting. Their colourful forms give rise to endless variety. Many of the lilies shown here were grown in my own garden.
Outdoor Markets
Paintings of the colourful markets of many different countries are gathered together in this post. Many keen shoppers are shown, all looking for a bargain.
Dappled Light
There is something magical about the way dappled light dances through the leaves and casts patterns underneath that makes it a joy to paint.
