No. 6 'Finders Keeper' series (2017)
This little series resulted from my obsession with picking up gum leaves whilst out walking.
I end up with quite a pile of leaves in my pocket. Fortunately, several saw the light of day again and became the subject of my little 'finders keepers' series on 40 x 10 x 3cm timber panels.
I try to capture subtle nuances of tone and light to describe the form and colour within my paintings, by using generous, confident marks and adequate volume of paint. Sometimes in layers or with more immediate strokes.

This is one of a remaining 2 small collectible paintings which hung in my first solo exhibtion 'Native Instincts' at Tacit Gallery in 2017
