ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
Still-life: Pheasant, Dutch kitchen.
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas,
70cm (W) x 50cm (H)

In this painting, I sourced historical images from the golden age of the 16th-century Dutch masters. And to that end, I composed and constructed a new painting with my vision to reflect the nuance of that period.

The 16th-century Dutch painter, Jan Davidzoon de Heem, who I have recently discovered, became my inspiration. Fascinated with his masterful realistic technical craft––the intricate, moody, realistic technique he employs astonished me.

In the enlightenment of that research; I set about to paint this still-life painting “Still-life: Pheasant, Dutch kitchen” exploring and educating myself how Jan Davidzoon de Heem set about painting his still-life paintings.

My painting and composition deals with historical subject matter and references, observing the golden age of Dutch techniques; mood, low highlights, dark shadows, and depth of field, which Jan Davidzoon de Heem employs in his famous masterpieces.

Less than 300 metres from where I live, sits Bill Thomson’s garden (in our local parkland). I like to think of it as my own Claude Monet’s garden to paint. It being so beautiful and peaceful, I was keen to paint it in a Claude Monet technique, oil on stretch canvas.
Much of Claude Monet’s work was inspired by his garden and he believed it was important to surround himself with nature and plants from the outdoors.
Located in the North-Eastern part of New South Wales, Australia, in the Tweed Shire. 
About 20 klms south of where I live, there lies a special place depicting an extremely aesthetic scene; the upper Tweed River in the Tweed Valley, Northern New South Wales Australia.
In this painting, on a cloudy day fog and mist overhung the upper Tweed River which captured my imagination. 
In this painting (oil on stretched canvas) I tried to capture that mystical moment in time. 
This painting is a landscape of two rivers located near Byangum township and is located in north-eastern  New South Wales, Australia, in the Tweed Shire. Ballet troupes around the world work incessantly hard, to achieve innovation and perfection in their field of the arts. This painting is a tribute to those who are dedicated to the art of classical dance and the other forms of dance movement ––classical and contemporary dance. Behind the scenes the work and innovation never cease to obtain perfection. 
Classical dance requires an important concentration of dancers, who must perform body movements with great precision and coordination. Practice and fitness are essential, as many of the forms of ballet require elasticity and strength.
Since the 1940s, there have been many variations in the genre, rhythmic and harmonic complexity, elusive melodic tags, focus on chord progressions, drawing on classical styles and forms, and plenty of subgenres emerged from jazz music as well.
