Sydney Ferry (2005)

I did this as a commission for a dear friend, and was sorry I had to part with it. She knows if she ever wants to sell it to knock on my door first.

Sydney Harbour (2006)

ref: 0306 Sold

I enjoy painting the harbour in this style - the curve of the shore, the colours in the building and the movement of the water make it come alive.

Davistown Fishing Shacks (2006)

Long Reef Frangipanis (2004)

An very early Dee why painting - I populated the foreground with the frangipanis and lilies and this is still one of my best selling images.

About my local scenes...
I've been painting local scenes from the start. Sydney Frangipanis (top row, middle) the first large painting I sold through a gallery. Dee Why beach (second and third paintings, middle row ) features often as I see it from my home studio. Frangipani flowers are frequently in the foreground as they're prolific around Sydney, and my favourite flower.
