GLENORIE_BABY.jpg

Title: Peter, 20 Years Before His 21st Birthday

1984, 20 x 16"

With this pencil drawing being taken from a very small black and white photo, I needed to take a multitude of very exact measurements and use a calculator in order to produce a very accurate enlargement, with all in proportion.

GOULBURN_RIVER_EILDON.jpg

Title: Goulburn River, Victoria (Near Eildon)

1983, 20 x 16"

I painted this at my sister's art class (she was the teacher) as a demonstration of acrylic and palette knife work.  Took about 1.5 hours to finalize, complete with running commentary from me.  I recall saying something like: "With these bright highlights you can simulate the impression of sun on dew.  The backlighting forces the powerful effect of sun and deep shadow, creating a striking effect."

Owner: Unknown

WILDERNESS2.jpg

Title: Tasmania -- Wilderness #2

1989, 30 x 24"

This image was created by combining aspects of at least 3 different pictures.  This is one of my favorite painting challenges: to create a brand new scene, and to weld together tone, color, direct light, reflected light, and atmosphere.  Humans are essentially creative (although we often create amiss), so designing new landscapes offers the individual the unmatched buzz of being a 'god', so to speak.

Title: The Gordon River, Tasmania

1989, 26 x 19"

Owner: Unknown

WILDERNESS4.jpg

Title: The Australian Alps

1990, 26 x 19"

Very fine detail again in the foliage and especially the snow on the distant mountains.

WILDERNESS5.jpg

Title: New England National Park

1989, 30 x 24"
