The painting is made using small brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas.

This artwork took hours to complete with its vibrant colours it looks at the landscape around the area it is finished off with a high satin gloss to protect the work It has painted sides and comes with a certificate of authenticity I also cover the backside of the canvas with paper so the certificate is adhered too along with it has stretched a wire across the back of the work so it can be hung immediately "My Country My People 2" It's a close-up of an Aboriginal Australian painting, in the style of pointillism. The painting is made up of thousands of tiny dots, in a variety of colors. The dots come together to create an image of a landscape, with trees, hills, and a winding river.

Patttaya Fish Market.
I am working on a new series of Fish Markets, but not those huge, soulless and cold buildings.
Fisk Markets where people are coming together, by the beach or near the beach, where the catch is fresh, where fish is work, daily. Where fish is smelly and men and women are making a living with a direct contact with Nature.
This piece is particularly colourfull and bright.
Is a statement.
Neon signs, wires, people, confusion.
If you have been there you know what I mean, if you havent, you can probably imagine it.
Local fish is the primary source of this life, sold on stalls or restaurants, cooked on the street, caught not far.
The work in unframed
The frame in the photos are examples.

Lux Artem is an ongoing project combining landscapes and lightpainting to see the world through different eyes. The glyphs are to complement the landscape not overwhelm it.

We are overwhelmed everyday by beautiful images of the familiar. I imagine these scenes transformed into undiscovered landscapes which renew our perceptions of our world.

This is part of an award winning series of images. Top 10 in the Australian Emerging Photography awards.
