Canberra Meadow with Monarch Butterflies and Boxing Kangaroos is a large original acrylic painting inspired by the surprising beauty of nature found right on the edge of everyday suburban life in Canberra.

This is not a distant wilderness scene. It is the kind of landscape that can happen almost behind the house — open grass, rolling green paddocks, distant blue hills, wildflowers, butterflies, and kangaroos moving through the meadow as part of daily life in the ACT.

The foreground is filled with tall grasses, yellow wildflowers, purple blooms and monarch butterflies drifting through the warm light. Beyond the flowers, the view opens into a wide Canberra landscape of green fields, dark tree lines and layered hills under a dramatic turquoise and golden sky.

Hidden within the meadow are two kangaroos boxing, partly obscured behind the wildflowers. This small narrative detail gives the painting its distinct Canberra character: a moment of wildness unfolding quietly in the middle of suburban life.

Painted in a contemporary impressionist style, this artwork celebrates the colour, movement and unexpected magic of Canberra’s backyard landscapes. It would suit a living room, entrance, bedroom, office or any space where the collector wants a joyful statement piece connected to local place, nature and Australian wildlife.

This is an original one-of-a-kind artwork, painted with professional acrylic paint on gallery-wrapped canvas. Ready to hang, signed by the artist, and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.

I painted this after one of those magical Canberra Balloon Spectacular mornings when Lake Burley Griffin becomes a theatre of colour, light and movement. Hot air balloons hover low over the water above kayakers and paddleboarders, while Black Mountain and Telstra Tower rise quietly in the background.

What interested me most was the contrast between the cool blue dawn and the warm glow of the balloons reflected across the lake. Inspired by Canberra’s March Balloon Spectacular, the scene captures that distinctly local moment when the balloons come so low their ropes skim the water beside the paddlers and the whole lake comes alive at first light.

This is a one-of-a-kind original 65 x 65 cm painting created with professional acrylic paint on thick edge canvas. Painted in a modern impressionist style, it uses expressive brushwork and layered colour to convey movement, atmosphere and a strong sense of place.

Painted in a modern impressionist style, this work captures Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra at sunrise during another balloon-festival morning, as hot air balloons rise over the water in the still light. I wanted to hold that glorious moment when the lake turns to gold and the day feels open with freedom, hope and the promise of a good life. Loose brushwork, luminous reflections and a shifting sky give the painting movement, warmth and lift.

Where the Light Gathers — Tulip Top Gardens captures the feeling of stepping into a garden at the height of spring, when colour, light and memory seem to rise from the earth itself.

Painted in acrylic on canvas, this large vertical work brings Tulip Top Gardens to life through towering pink tulips, deep blue sky, dappled pathways, bubbles, flowers and small human figures moving quietly through the scene. The perspective places the viewer low among the blooms, making the tulips feel monumental, almost dreamlike, as if the garden has become a world of its own.

This painting is about beauty that gathers in a place: in the flowers, the shade, the birds, the children, the visitors, and the fleeting moments of wonder we carry home with us. It is a joyful, richly layered work for collectors who love gardens, spring colour, Canberra-region landscapes, and contemporary impressionist painting with a strong sense of atmosphere.

This artwork celebrates the quiet strength, beauty, and loyalty of the horse — an animal that has carried human stories, survival, and spirit across cultures for centuries.

Set within a dreamlike landscape of patterned hills and glowing skies, the rider and horse move together as one. The warm gold sun, soft clouds, and decorative terrain create a symbolic world rather than a literal one — a place where partnership, trust, and journey take centre stage.

Horses are precious companions in human history. They have represented freedom, endurance, guidance, and emotional connection. In this series, the horse is not simply a mode of transport, but a guardian of resilience and shared progress — a being that carries not just bodies, but hopes and destinies.

This work forms part of a wider series inspired by the Chinese Lunar New Year zodiac cycle, with this piece honouring the Year of the Horse. In Chinese cultural symbolism, those born in the Year of the Horse are associated with energy, independence, determination, and a strong spirit of adventure. The horse embodies movement forward — courage in action and grace under challenge.

Through vibrant colour, stylised pattern, and gentle storytelling, the series reflects how animals hold meaning beyond the physical world. Here, the horse becomes a bridge between cultural tradition and contemporary expression — reminding us of the enduring bond between humans and the natural world, and the precious role animals play in carrying our stories into the future.
