Bundy & Coke Time

This painting captures the tranquil beauty of twilight on Morton Bay. Bundy and Coke, two Border Collies named after Ted's favourite drink, known for their steadfast loyalty, rest on the sandy beach, their attentive eyes fixed on the horizon as day transitions into night. The sky is painted with subtle shades of pink, yellow and purple, echoing the fleeting yet precious moments of life itself.
On it's way to dock, The Mighty Marvan, Ted's prawn trawler, approaches. This is a familiar sight for those acquainted with its routine voyages. It personifies countless journeys, each one marked by the presence of its captain, Ted.
“Bundy & Coke time” prompts one to reflect on life's delicate balance and the enduring power of love, reassuring one that even as time passes, the essence of those we hold dear, remains ever-present like the eternal ebb and flow of the tide.

My True Love.
Generally my style of art is Representational – realistic stuff, anything that has a strong recognisable subject. Sometimes however I abandon my fine art lured by my previous life as a graphic designer and momentarily I'm overcome and revert to the use of minimalist shapes, images and bright colours.
Being an impatient individual, I prefer to work with acrylics rather than other mediums because of their quick drying time. This allows me the flexibility to make mistakes, knowing that I'm able to quickly correct and paint over them.
As an artist I usually I start with a pencil sketch in my painting diary. I don't necessarily paint it straight away, but often visit the diary as inspiration for future work. My true love is the challenge of capturing the the things and sights that have inspired me on my travels around and about.
