Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

Rock pool in Australian bushland was painted using my Imagination or minds eye.
I use no references or photos when creating, but rely on my Intuition and memory
I wanted to depict the beauty of the Australian bushland in certain places with it's tall
rough barked trees that amaze me with their powers of adaptability over eons of time, even in very arid conditions the trees seem to have magical powers of survival
this painting is intense and energetic with a lot of black lines done mainly with
a palette knife to give the impression of the wonderful scrubby Australian bush
...enjoy!

Women long for  peaceful gentle places to commune with nature  in order to rest and heal
I have painted this colouful work to give the feeling of the benefits of being in nature
so you can  immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of these sacred places
the painting has a spiritual quality and a simple yet charming style. 
Enjoy! This is  an  older work of mine, it's a  hand made stretcher frame and hand stretched canvas
 it's a  mysterious and  beautiful painting  with  a dark and moody feeling about it,
 I have  used symbols to depict the 4 Elements of  Earth,  Air, Fire and  Water
The earth aspect is symbolized by the tree of life covered in lights and the earthy looking pottery
I have used a crackle medium on the vase to  give the impression of a very ancient pot 
the small fish, waves and yacht represent the water aspect
the air is symbolized by whirling things in the wind
and of course for  fire  element I have painted some wild flames 
the colours in this painting are both subtle in some areas and  dark in other areas
Black is the predominant colour 
 I have used shellac over the whole work to give a  sepia  look in parts .
This painting exudes a sense of timelessness as if it has been plucked straight from the walls of an ancient castle The faded colors and worn brushstrokes give the impression of a piece that has stood the test of time  inviting you to step into a world of old-world beauty and charm

    Enjoy!This painting has a lovely serene feeling about it,  it has the impression of both movement and peace   I used a lot of energy in creating it !
first pouring  Acrylic paint, then splattering  paint with a brush, the trees were mainly painted with a spatula  .I also used a permanent fine liner to give some detail to the trees and surrounds
to me  it gives the feeling of walking up a hillside, the bush is unusual here it is scrubby and slightly surreal, yet the scene is one of peace..  I am exploring and adventuring in my mind as this painting emerged from my Imagination.  

the painting has a lot of splattered paint, and raised painted areas
as you will see in the photos
all of this is part of the paintings character ..ENJOY!
 " The journey of seeds in a  garden " has been created using my minds eye or Imagination
 The  swirls of  orange and  yellow , the many flowers, along with the seeds being blown by the wind  
 are all symbols representing  life and beauty in nature , this painting was a  type of meditation to me, 
 I  took  my time in  layering  the paint   I  was patient  and mindful ...  the result is  a beautiful ,simple ,  
 and surprising  feeling of  wonderment  and energy.... .ENJOY!
