Time for a make-over

I'm re-working the look and feel of this and will have it up and running again soon.  There will be pieces available for sale if interested. 

Thanks for checking this out and I'll be back soon.

oh so random

watercolour streetscene from a black and white photo of lower johnstone street in victoria.  no idea if i got the colours right.  know for sure the perspective is not right, but i wanted to make it a bit more organic.

a bit more colour and something new

Two new pieces.  The first - my girlfriend's daughter picking daisies - back to bright bold colours that make me happy.  This one could be headed off across the ocean as a gift for a grandmother - I hope they like it.

The second piece - 'fireworks in the city' is a first attempt at collage - it might be my last as well. I was inspired after my niece and nephew made a trip to NYC and were there for the 4th of July.    It was definitely the product and not the process in this case.  I am pleased with how it turned out - but spent the entire time (10+ hours) wondering why I was doing it.  It certainly challenged my patience!

a few new pieces done recently.   the last pieces posted here (poppies) was done after working with so many dark and dirty tones - i needed to do something that was bright and colourful!

I finished this one a couple of weeks ago.  Painted on very rough plywood.  I think I'll be exploring faces more and working with expression and likeness.
