Welcome to my Blog

I'm a professional award winning artist from NSW Australia.

I bring your photos to life in paintings that will touch your heart!

A photo freezes a moment while a painting touches hearts.

I paint from photographs but the portraits I create in Pastel and Oil are more than just a copy of your photo.
I will have a likeness but your portrait will be much more colourful,alive and three dimensional than the photo.

You can have me create your own special portrait.
You supply the photos and then you can plan the great unveiling!


I have original animal and landscape artworks available for sale on my website.

I've started this Blog to give you a bit more insight into the creative process behind my portraits and so I can ramble on a bit more about life in general.

Mondays unfinished portrait from a model

Here's yesterdays 2.30hr unfinished portrait painted from a model.I've experimented with leaving more of the underpainting showing through.If I were to finish it I'd make the blue background brighter and add some more yellows /oranges/pinks etc through her face.I've included a fellow artist Dudley clowning around to show you the size.This photo is very early on I'll post the latest version next.
 
Here's what I had done by the end of the session..I always end up getting stuck at this stage. If I get some time I'll have to finish some of them off.

30 x 40cms
unframed Oil on canvas
I just paint onto canvas as then they don't take much room to store.If I decide I want to frame her later I will glue her to a board and frame her. She rippled up a bit but when you glue them onto a board they go nice & flat.
