13 Circles

This is my latest painting, completed last night. It's on a 30 x 30" canvas and it took me quite a while before I was satisfied that it was "finished". A number of people have commented that I have an "Aboriginal Style" . I can see it although it's not intentional. Their pictures tell a story, mine are just a combination of colours, lines and patterns that appeal to me, there's no hidden meaning or mythology, I just like the look of them.
One artist I was speaking to suggested I create a story to explain them. That sounds like manipulation to me. Mind you, under analysis they may reveal all sorts of things about me that are subliminal or repressed! Who knows?

One Black Line, One Green Spot

I worked on this one for several days, much longer than I normally spend on a single painting!It's on a large canvas which always intimidates me a little. If I mess up a small canvas it doesn't seem to matter, but messing up a big one seems more serious somehow!!
I'm finally happy with it and several people expressed interest in it at the markets last week, though none of them put their money where their mouths were!
They missed their chance!

Navel

I started this one at last week's PD day, worked on it at The Breakfast Club and completed it at home a couple of days later.

37 Ways

The second of my two paintings in the Vasse Art Show. (Black & White in silver frame)

It hasn't sold either but it was only hung today because the glass cracked somewhere between home and the school and I had to replace it before it could go on display.

Darren has made me a frame for this one but I haven't got it back yet.

The White Path

Given to Alex when he came down for a weekend. He claims that when he showed it to his artist friends they raved about it, the technique etc!!!! He likes it, I like it, that's all that matters!!

Green Star 1

This is my favourite painting. It's not for sale.

Blue Cogs, Green Cogs

I did the green one first and liked the effect so repeated it in blue and red.
Price $100

I gave the green one to David and Jo as a wedding present.

White Path

I love mazes so it was a logical progression to combine painting and maze making. This is a simple one I did early on, you shouldn't get lost in here!

Dad's Birthday Present

I went to Queensland in May as a surprise for dad's 70th birthday and while I was there I painted a picture for him. Well, to be honest, I painted two, he didn't like the first one so I did a new one, which thankfully he liked. I did a salvage job on the first one which turned out well and now hangs in our bedroom. See below (hopefully, if this all works the way it's supposed to!)

Wedding Presents

One way to guarantee newly weds don't end up with two toasters/microwaves/cutlery sets is to give them something nobody else will, like an original painting! Asher and Jaye and Greg and Demelza were the "lucky" recipients of these two pictures.

Purple Tracks

Similar to "On Red" but bigger.

Evolution of a painting

Sophie really likes this one so I gave it to her and she has it in her bedroom.

On Red

This is quite small, on a deep block canvas.

Price $100

A recurring theme in many of my pictures are lines.

Parallel lines, concentric lines, diagonals and verticals and I like tracks and pathways too. I've always liked mazes, perhaps there's an influence there.

Price $100

An early one that I have since painted over.

Blue Wave

Much of my stuff is derived from doodles I've created while sitting in meetings (trying to stay awake!). This one is on my office wall and I'm very fond of it.
