I like to use oil paint and palette knife and brush on canvas .
Sydney's vibrant Northern Beaches has a focus on water and bushland and this focus is what i try to achieve in my art.
Blending of the oils in seemingly random yet precise fashion is my current style with a focus on an expressive impressionist style using in most cases wet on wet techniques.
The use of palette knife and brush is a feature of many but not all of the art works.
