Artwork Description

I have always loved nautical paintings and have turned my hand to several now. I decided that in the words of the famous maritime artist, Chris Mayger "not to paint a postcard..." The Sydney ferry Collaroy can be seen here enjoying the swell near Middle Head in Sydney Harbour.

There's not a dry spot on the exterior of the Collaroy. Water (along with maybe just a little vomit) cascades out of the scuppers. Billowing spray can be seen all around the vessel negotiating the swell as water beads on every part of the ferry and fixtures. As the forward steering gear and prop emerge from the water, seconds later water will be spraying all over the bridge. Perhaps one of the few people really enjoying the trip will be the Captain.

This artwork was created mainly with a 10/0 brush. The brush will be included with the painting.

Artist Bio

I have always loved art from my earliest understanding of it. I started painting at the age of six and rarely stopped. I was influenced early with realism and have tried to replicate life as closely as possible. I love all subjects and I guess that's why I don't paint just a single topic like aviation, marine, wildlife or still life. I try and immerse myself with reflections and creating form using light. I also love painting things that nature has taken a nice chunk out of.

I enjoy the works of Frans Hals‚ as well as the modern masters such as John Seerey-Lester‚ Salvador Dali, Banksy and lately Tjalf Spaarnay and Luigi Benedicenti who are hyperrealist artists.

I have always painted my own reality. I paint what grabs by attention and I've always painted things that were part of my life. That's why you'll see such a broad range of subjects in my paintings such as wine, trains, boats, aircraft and food. I paint what's nearby or relevant to me. The majority of my work is now still life, in particular I like to paint wine.

My work can be found in collections in Australia and worldwide. I'm always grateful for any "likes" given, it helps me feel as though someone has enjoyed my work.
