Enlarged Australian Flowers from my Western Australian visit these paintings are more about colour and gesture than describing the flowers in explicit detail. This has been fixed with a matt glaze to protect and to stop glare. Framed in Matt White floater frame.
I’ve been an artist for more than 25 years and in that time my interests have remained around the things I see here in Australia mostly landscape. I’ve exhibited in galleries and events on east coast of Australia during that time and concentrated my efforts on Australian scenes and Birds with Movement and Light painted in my own style of "expressive impressionism” or "Post Impressionism".
I used transparent watercolour to begin with and took the things I learned from experimenting with water-based mediums on paper to acrylic medium on stretched canvas or linen. It’s a process of using multiple transparent layers of paint and dry medium fixed with acrylic painting medium. Because it takes some time for the layers to dry between coats I work in series of several similarly themed paintings over a matter of weeks. This allows me to incorporate random water and brushwork effects into the representational forms I create. All my works are original ideas and subjects are not reproduced unless in a completely different composition.
