Path

For all my friends in the northern hemisphere, here’s a wee burst of Aussie sun for you. Just finished. Lots of light, lots of grass, regrowth bush and a path to walk down. It’s one of the images in my...

Dusk (Those Who Stay)

This is a rather sad painting. Or maybe an angry painting. A friend of mine died unexpectedly when I was in the middle of painting Dawn (Those Who Go). Some folks seem to work through emotions using...

Sketch: Red Knob

The final piece to go into the paintings of walking exhibition. A wee sketch of the Red Knob gold mining area close to Fryerstown. And now it’s all picture rings, wire and lists until the show opens on...

Sketch: Mt Boorong from St Mary’s Peak

Another sketch from the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Trying to catch the heat and the light that you find when you’re foolish enough to be on the top of a mountain in the mid-day sun, trying to...

Sketch: Grampians Wonderland Range 1

Back in my favourite local stamping ground. I don’t do a lot of bushwalking in the summer because of the bush fire risk, but this summer has been a little less dry than usual and I had a wee sliver of...

Tipperary Track

Last week I was surprised and delighted to find one of my paintings sitting in the basement store of the Art Gallery of Ballarat. Acquired by the gallery through a benefactor’s donation it now awaits...

Sketch: Grampians Wonderland Range II

Another sketch from hiking in the Grampians. At the top of the hill behind us is the Pinnacles viewpoint, which provides a spectacular view of the Fyan’s Valley and Hall’s Gap. The rocky outcrop is...

Diaspora 3 (did you pack this yourself, sir?)

Developing my meditations on the theme of displacement, art history, and my reluctant obsession with the metaphors inherent in objects. Initial drawings with Sharpie pens on discarded packing material...

Odalisque

In 2011 the Law Society of British Columbia brought a discipline hearing against an unnamed lawyer for referring to another lawyer’s client as living with an odalisque. The Law Society found the use of...

Middle Class Hero 2

The unsung and unseen bearer of so many Monet prints. The supporter of bourgeois purchases across much of the world. How would I be able to impose my personality on an interior space and impress my...

Double Ballarat Landscape 1

Two views of Ballarat. One looking into town from the Armstrong St North rail bridge, the other of the old cemetery. I put them together as I feel the shapes in both views seem to speak to each other,...

After Burning Off (Morning Light)

Looking East from Camp Street (Winter)

This painting is a bit of an experiment to see if I can combine colour in a meaningful way with the new urban drawings I’m making. I made a drawing on MDF using sharpies (as I’ve been doing for a while...

Commerce

Lydia Lunch’s quote “If it’s for the money, you’re not doing art. You’re doing commerce” often plays on my mind. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s when youth culture was anti-establishment and...

Excellent reptile habitat

Leaping lizards! Climbing the west side of Mount Ohlssen Bagge is a punishing shadeless scramble, but the rewards are some unique environments that the parks guide describes as “excellent reptile...

Walk to Work (Autumn)

This is a wee sketch I made a good few months ago. I like walking to work and, in the absence of bushwalking, it has to suffice for visual sustenance. The beauty on the walk to work is often just a...

Swan Bay

A small sketch of Swan Bay glimpsed through coastal scrub at Queenscliff in Victoria. There’s nothing better on a hot summer’s day than a sea breeze and a shade tree.

Swan Bay II

In Australia lots of folks head to the coast in summer to escape the heat. Given the choice I’d head to the hills, so I’ve set myself a task to explore the coast this summer and see what comes out....

Back Yard Boogaloo

I loved the combination of plants at Lavandula lavender farm which I painted back in 2014. I must do the same thing in my back yard, I thought and, two years later, here we are under the plum tree. I...
