African Woman

Conceived as part of an exhibition to display the various aspects of the human hand, this painting is of an African woman in traditional dress. As she sits, the painting is cropped down to bring focus to her hand draped across her body. The painting is a celebration of culture and a study of unique skin tone and human form.

I have been painting and drawing all my life in periods where time allows. in more recent times have been focused on the beautiful Australian landscape, painting in oils to capture the muted charm of the Melbourne Bay area amongst other things. I also draw and paint in watercolour on paper, bringing to life local scenes as I find them, life drawing, still life and figurative studies.
