This small abstract seascape with the seagull landing amongst the waves on the shoreline was inspired by my early morning walks on the beach where I live. I am also a bird photographer and the seagulls make wonderful subjects. I have combined my two passions to come up with this small, colourful scene. The background was done with a palette knife and the bird painted to blend into its habitat. It would be a lovely reminder of trips to the beach.

I am an Australian artist, formerly of Sydney and now living in Noosa. I have been passionately painting for over 20 years and paint in acrylic and oils. My style is somewhat eclectic as I love to use all the wonderful mediums and paints available to artists these days. Most of my work is highly textured and I use a broad spectrum of colours to portray the beautiful beaches on the coast and the amazing deserts, gorges and open spaces of our awesome outback.I also spend five months or so in the alpine regions of Queenstown, New Zealand and am inspired by the beautiful mountains, snow and lakes there. There is nothing so rewarding as loosing oneself in the all consuming art of painting. I hope you enjoy looking at the results of my passion. My paintings are in collections around the world.
