Wild Ride

I haven't painted in this style for a couple of years and I never really pushed one to this extreme. Normally I would stop before they stopped making sense. With this on however I decided to just keep pushing and paint what ever ideas poppped into my head.

Ideas would strike at random times and I would take a mental not and when I had time I would add the element to the painting. A lot of things in the painting do depict things in my life or that have been a part of my life, while others are just weird and wacky.

I had so much fun playing with this one and just using simple colours in an illustarive style.

Painted on deep edge stretched canvas with matching painted sides, signed and ready to hang.

I am an artist based in Wollongong, NSW, I grew up here between the mountains and the sea. My passion lies in painting with bright and bold colours, Australian native animals, especially birds make up a lot of my inspiration, though I also like to explore flora and still life subjects. I like to accentuate the hints of colour I see within my subject matter. I love painting with a palette knife and I use mainly acrylic paints on stetched canvas.

I love to add texture to the canvas with deliberate strokes that give the subject matter definition without it always being obvious. I am a full time artist working from my home studio on the South Coast. I find great inspiration from daily beach and bush walks and I can't imagine a life where I was not able to be creative everyday, and I feel truley blessed to be on this journey.
