Swamp Glory

• With this hot wet summer our local waterway is flush with green. The morning glory was making a show, so painting the scene was a must.
• This large textural acrylic painting is on gessoed Fabriano watercolour paper mounted on a double-braced cradled panel, professionally finished with an isolation coat and gloss varnish. The artwork continues round the edges and its ready to hang, so framing is optional.
• I hand-craft my panels from marine plywood with Australian hardwood bracing, and mount 300gsm watercolour paper with acrylic gel. All surfaces are sealed, and all paints and materials are archival, so you can enjoy it forever.

• Our world’s shapes, colours and textures have a deep personal resonance and I aim to share that sense of wonder. I’ll always keep experimenting, learning, and making sense of the world through my personal art, and I’m excited to showcase and offer some of the pieces here in the hope you’ll enjoy them too.

• I work predominantly in acrylic and sympathetic water media. My acrylic works on watercolour paper mounted to my own handcrafted braced panels do not need to be mounted under glass, and can be cared for like any other varnished acrylic painting. All my works are completed with artist quality archival materials and media, and crafted with care and attention to longevity.
