In This Style 10/6 (After 'The Art Of Painting' by Jan Vermeer) LIMITED EDITION PRINT on PAPER Ed. 4 of 100

I created this painting back in 2012, it was a part of a solo exhibition I had in Melbourne entitled 'A World Elsewhere' which was inspired by Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland'. The work was also (obviously) inspired by Jan Vermeer's painting titled 'The Art of Painting', I pictured this 17th century Dutch interior with a contemporary twist, the March Hare modelling for the Mad Hatter who is actually painting Alice. The old world map on the wall is now Australia, the door mouse is asleep on a pillow and my coffee cup is resting on the chair in the foreground with the white-rabbit's fob-watch. The original painting is sold but I am offering this work as a limited edition print of 100.

This is a limited edition print (100) on paper. Printed on Canson Rag Photographique (310gsm), signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity.
This listing is for the print only, it is unframed and sent rolled in a post tube.

My limited edition prints are available in a range of sizes and can be printed on either museum grade archival fine art paper or Canson MuseumPro canvas, if you would like a different size or media output (surface) don’t hesitate to message me and I can provide a quote.

I am a full-time professional artist living and working in the hinterland of the Gold Coast. I am predominantly a landscape painter but I do paint other subjects like still life when the mood takes me and the occasional self portrait because I'm a fairly reliable model.
My landscapes are the result of spending a lot of time in nature, looking, sketching, thinking, photographing and plotting the next painting. When I get back to the studio I scour the imagery, often deconstructing and reconfiguring them to compose works that are an amalgamation of scenes and an accumulation of experiences. This is done both on the computer and the old fashioned way - with pencil and paper.
When I strike upon something that has some kind of spark, I follow it.... work out the ratio and size I want it, make the stretcher frame, stretch and prepare the canvas (or cut and prime the board), make a rough sketch of it in charcoal and then set about it with a lot of oil paint and some palette knives. The painting process totally transforms this thing I'd been working on into something else. Something fluid, with texture, movement, complex colours and colour combinations, nuance, its own shadows, hills and valleys, something with it's own pulse and life. The goal is to create a work fully reminiscent and suggestive of the original subject, as well as being a new thing in it's own right, full of character and mystery.
I would say my works are a synthesis of my visual and emotional experiences, sculpted with a passion for painting and tempered by a keen interest in gardening, wildlife, literature and the natural world.

I've been a professional artist for roughly 23 years and have been a finalist in many prestigious art prizes over that time, including The Tattersalls Landscape Prize, The Brisbane Portrait Prize, The Doug Moran National Portrait Prize, The Percival, The Doyles, The Bluethumb Art Prize, Stanthorpe Art Prize, Lethbridge Landscape Prize, The EMSLA and many others. My original paintings and Limited Edition Prints are held in private, public and corporate collections worldwide.
I was also thrilled to be included in the book 'A Painted Landscape - Across Australia From Bush to Coast' in 2018, written by Amber Creswell-Bell and published by Thames & Hudson, a tribute to 50 prominent contemporary Australian Landscape Painters.
