Still Life 2007


This oil on canvas is my latest still life finished last week and using some of my friend Prue's unusual shaped bowls and vases

Still Life

Done in 2003 this acrylic on canvas paper was a cropped view of a wooden bowl with slithers of wood and was an unusual departure from the usual still life paintings I normally do. It's now owned by Nancy in Canada

Digital Art - Transmutation

This photograph of a brilliant orange hemerocallis amongst cerise geraniums was transformed into the digital image below. The photograph was taken in a stunning garden nestling in the foot of the Cascade mountains in Canada.

Something different



I like creating digital art. It takes a long time to get right and many digital creations are discarded along the way. I called this piece 'Flower Fireworks'. The original digital photograph was taken in the beautiful Minter Gardens at Chilliwack, in British Columbia, Canada and was of orange dahlias


The original photograph


Infinity 1 and 2








These pair of canvases were painted in 2004 and 2005 to complement each other. They are acrylic on canvas and now hang in my Grandsons flat. The colour palate was limited to white, ochre and Indian red
