lastest paintings

It's been a busy couple of weeks - getting over the flu - catching up (and purging) on creative energy. The flu left my already overdeveloped sense of colour in overdrive. Scary but fun.

#22 is another for the dolls series.

He's called Football lover








#23 is a small work for a series of 3 I'm doing for the Linden Gallery postcard show. He's called "hoodie"










#24 is something a bit more personal. I attended a friends wedding many years ago, and the priest made a wonderful speech about how finding your mate in life was like matching socks. You can wear any socks you like, but to find the perfect match is special. Some seem almost right, others are obviously wrong, so be careful in the choices you make because you have to walk a long way in your life.

When he started I was quietly sniggering, but I was very moved by the end.


#25 is a piece to go into the Burnley Harbour Show in Melbourne in a few weeks. It's called "about a bird'' - another piece with acrylic and wax. I love the effect the wax has - it glows and looks silky and deep. I'm so happy about that discovery.
