Entomorph 3 Christmas Beetle

The third Entomorph in the series, part insect, part machine. I've taken great care that each element of these entomorph paintings have stand alone elements. In this painting the wooden fence holds up as a work by itself with some elements barely noticeable, for example there's a nail in the timber that sits in a hole where it once sat snuggly, now the elements have deteriorated the timber. Lichen is starting to take a foothold and ruts appear in the old timber.

The beetle itself, brushed steel body and engineered legs, help the hybrid insect up the timber. Not necessarily confronting in today's day and age and a great artwork to replace the books on your coffee table

I have always loved art from my earliest understanding of it. I started painting at the age of six and rarely stopped. I was influenced early with realism and have tried to replicate life as closely as possible. I love all subjects and I guess that's why I don't paint just a single topic like aviation, marine, wildlife or still life. I try and immerse myself with reflections and creating form using light. I also love painting things that nature has taken a nice chunk out of.

I enjoy the works of Frans Hals‚ as well as the modern masters such as John Seerey-Lester‚ Salvador Dali, Banksy and lately Tjalf Spaarnay and Luigi Benedicenti who are hyperrealist artists.

I have always painted my own reality. I paint what grabs by attention and I've always painted things that were part of my life. That's why you'll see such a broad range of subjects in my paintings such as wine, trains, boats, aircraft and food. I paint what's nearby or relevant to me. The majority of my work is now still life, in particular I like to paint wine.

My work can be found in collections in Australia and worldwide. I'm always grateful for any "likes" given, it helps me feel as though someone has enjoyed my work.
