2023
-
JANUARY: Began on a high note, with two paintings purchased through Bluethumb on a layby for eight weeks. La Bella and Shimmering Strength were the two lovelies that went to new homes.
-
Also I managed to take a trip to New Zealand, the home of my artist's soul for a couple of weeks. It was my first trip back since the beginning of the covid debacle. I do attribute much of my malaise in 2022 to being unable to return there for my annual creative recharge.
-
MARCH: La Bella and Shimmering Strength were packed up and posted off .
-
Bluethumb Gallery included my work in their 'Art For The Dining Room' curation, which was very exciting.
-
I also sold the very first painting in my new landscape series. and uploaded one of these landscapes 'The Cove' to Bluethumb for an exclusive 60 day contract with them alone.

2022
-
2022 however was another story and the only work of any significance was 'White Island" . And even that one I was stuck on for several months. Follow the link to find out more about it.
-
On a more positive note, I was chosen as a Finalist in the Hornsby Art Prize which was hung in September 2022. The painting was "La Bella" - which you can see me working on to the left. La Bella has now travelled to the Northern Territory to a new home.
-
Towards the end of 2022 however I came up for air again and have begun work on a new body of work - landscapes in which I am exploring a different palette and a more contemporary style, which have been very well accepted so far. You can find them here: Cathedral Cove and here The Cove.
FAST FORWARD April 2021
Oh my goodness - where did all that time go?
Like many other people, I seem to disappear down a rabbit hole during covid, and didn't really pop out the other end until January 2023.
-
In actual fact 2020-2021 turned out to be a great year for selling work. There was only one painting in my body of work for that year that didn't sell. The body of work included several landscape paintings in the style as seen opposite.
