Path Through The Gums

This painting was influenced by a freshwater bush track my son and I walked together to look at one of the inland freshwater catchments behind Double Island Point on the Sunshine Coast.
The bushland and vegetation was so filled with greenery and light and I love the way the sun dapples through the bush in this area. I love my impressionism so the brushstrokes are kept large and simple in this work, I am so happy with the effect as you stand back and look on this painting it takes me back to this moment spent walking this track with my son.

All original work signed and and dated on the back of work.
Framing also carefully done by myself in Tasmanian Oak with shadow line.
Packed with care 3 layers of bubble wrap and 2 layers of heavy duty cardboard for safe delivery.

Each painting is a lineage of my history hope you can see in my paintings what I feel & have experienced.
Now with collectors both interstate & internationally thanks to Bluethumb I love challenging myself to create in my own unique style.
Discovering new lines and marks with a brush pen or spray can, over varied but traditional surfaces.
My everyday living and experiences delivered to you in colour.

I love creating work in a variety of mediums, and experimenting at creating different aesthetics,
Fragments thoughts and feelings small windows from my surroundings that translate all this into a colour pallet the way I see it.
" Memories and my life created in colour light & texture, the paints tints allowing me to tell a story"
I have been painting and drawing for most of my life getting more serious in my late teens so has been a passion of mine for about 35 + years.
My Oil paintings are delivered framed in natural Tasmanian Oak with a custom shadow line / Or if you would like to do your own custom frame I can mail out unframed also. I mainly work on primed ply panel but also on various elements like Venetian Plaster over board that is also created by hand ( myself ) allowing
for different visuals & textured backgrounds.

I am based in Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast
QLD Australia.
I like to dwell on an idea / concept for a while and then re create and problem solve it with my paints or Ink then create it in my own unique style.

I am inspired by Impressionism , I have mainly been self taught with a passion for colour and contrasting imagery with heavy & visibly strong brush strokes the viewer can feel the light & movement in each piece created.
I love dappled light and enjoying the different angles brushstrokes create.

I have a strong connection to my surroundings & local beach scape and passion for the wildlife and flora people / family around me,
You may see a lot of influence in my work with these surroundings as my favourite pastime is being constantly outdoors either in the ocean surfing or fishing & camping.

Mediums I love to use are various and I love to experiment with Oils / Acrylic / Lime & Marble + Tints.
Feel free to drop me a message I am more than happy to have a chat!

Thank you for viewing
