Silverton Rust Side

Inspired by a trip to the ghost town of Silverton in Western NSW. Formerly a silver mining town it has some old decaying buildings and cars that make dramatic subjects for a painting. Man's creation battling the outback. Scenes from the first Max Max were filmed here. The subject car looks very much part of the harsh landscape.

A self taught artist. I don't restrict myself in media and styles.I enjoy painting in oils, acrylics, gouache and watercolour. I have an affinity for capturing moments from places I have been lucky enough to travel to. Often developing paintings from plein air sketches I have done in the field. Whilst I enjoy contemporary realism and impressionism I will sometimes stray into the realm of pure abstraction. Convincing portrayals of light and colour are usually my main goals. Subject matter can range from the grand to the mundane and quirky.
