New Project

I have the honour and privilege of painting Australian Idol and Aria winner Damien Leith. I recently caught up with Damien for his first sitting at the lovely Tower winery in the Hunter Valley. Apart from being a great subject he is an all round nice guy. He is currently on tour around Australia promoting his new album "Remember June". Catch his show if you can, he's awesome. I'll post progress photos of his portrait as it develops.

Latest work in progress

Here is my latest works in progress - a portrait of my grandson Jackson. I have laid down the initial acrylic washes and pretty much completed the eyes. Still quite a few hours work left to do, but I'm pleased with the progress so far. He has the most amazing eyes...

Latest work completed

This is my latest work, acrylic on canvas entitled "Smooth". This is the largest work I have completed to date and the acrylics made it a pleasant change. Can't wait to get started on the next!

Show update

My painting of the red fungus won 1st place in the Works on Paper section of the Tilligerry Lions Art Show. Another work, a charcoal portrait entitled "Addison" was highly commended.

Leafy sea dragon finished

Just a quick update, some of you may have seen this already - my leafy sea dragon - finished!

Leafy Sea Dragon

Here is a new one I'm working on, called "Dragon''. It's one of my show entries, for a particular section limited to black and white. I have used white charcoal and willow charcoal on black paper.

Scratch - African Grey finished

Here is the finished african grey parrot painting.
