SOLD – Lady Walking in a grassy field
Stephen Conway of Easy Oil Painting inspired this landscape work on a 200 mm x 500 mm stretched canvas. It is similar to Man Walking but instead of using yellow and black to create the greens I used blues and yellows in this one. The wonderful thing about painting is that the final artwork often […]

On My Easel – Tobias Toucan – 14 February 2019
Progress on Tobias Toucan has been slow, as other projects have taken priority. He is back on the easel as I tackle the vegetation and his feet. He is such a beautiful creature so I hope I do him justice.
On My Easel – Tobias Toucan – 10th Dec 2018
This beautiful Toucan is my second attempt at painting a bird. The first was a Jackal Buzzard that lived in blue gum trees in front of our home. The trick with this painting is in getting the colour variations of his beak correct. Hope I can do it. The Toucan’s name is Tobias. The painting […]
