12pm at the Local

Your local pub, RSL, or bar is a place I think a lot of have taken for granted lately. Being able to have the freedom to go there to relax, talk, be social, watch a game on TV, it doesn't seem like a big deal but weirdly it is. Having the knowledge that if you feel like catching up with a mate, or you need a quick feed and can't be bothered to cook, your local is a creature comfort that fulfils these needs even if you don't go there all the time. It's only when you can't go that you appreciate it. This is a scene from everyday life, the midday Tradie "Lunch Break" from the job site down the road, normally people wouldn't blink twice at this mundane part of life but there is beauty in the freedom to do this.

Im looking forward to a Schnitty and some pub trivia.

I find that my art enables me to express elements of my world that can't necessarily be seen by the naked eye, its an attempt at conveying something a bit intangible. Abstraction is the primary way I communicate my ideas and experiences in art.
The naive and somewhat primitive lines, shapes, colours and textures I use are my attempt at capturing the atmosphere, personality or feeling of a place or person I have encountered in my life, realism or a photograph in my opinion doesn't always capture these elements of the world.
I feel that my art brings these to the surface...it shows the soul of something, somewhere, or someone. Perhaps you will see someone you know within my strange works, maybe even yourself.
