Love is... Unconditional.

This is a portrait I did of Brigitte, who relishes motherhood. The look of contentment is due to having her girls close by, these are her favourite colours, that of earth and love... Of course my EROS and ROSE symbolism encompasses nurturing, as the root is drawing up the nourishment to feed the plant. This process is vital to growth, evolution and the survival of our gene pool. On the path to enlightenment, for some people, selfless sacrifice as practiced in the role of motherhood is the only way to fully comprehend unconditional love and let this be so.

De-Construction Construction of Studio.

As you may have guessed... I'm painting in the lounge room!

Studio is going through a transformation...

This is my studio today, whilst the staged renovations are happening...

 I just keep painting in my corner and use my art for the interior design. 

Finished the one on the left today and it's SOLD!  

The other 3 on right are part of my portraits with 'EROS and ROSE' theme.

Been working on these too, more art pieces with my ariel shots for a local gallery. www.bokehdaylesford.com.

Love is... Portraiture.

This is a panoramic view of my Studio today...

Within this vista are first two portraits in a range I titled 'Love is...' Indicative of undertones in my themed work EROS and ROSE. The sitters are being selected by their support and/or involvement in the Arts. Jen and Jodie (portraits above) have come into my studio, opened their hearts and coined one word that encompasses what Love is... from their perspective. With this insight, these paintings express much more than the image or likeness of the subject.

Second Prize in the Local Hepburn Shire Swiss Italian Festa Lanscape Art Prize.
The criteria is that all submissions are of the local area, no more that 25kms from the town centre.
Here's me, looking pretty happy, wine in hand... Local of course!

 This is a better quality picture of my work.

 This picture is to show how I have painted the sides and that the blocks are of varying depth.

All the sides are painted, some of the fronts are photo's, one is a photo montage... pick it. 

It is these photo's of our Balloon Flights that were the source of my inspiration and they are locations of and around Daylesford, both Jubilee and the main lake, Bullarto, Smeaton, Mt.Franklin, Blampied, Dean and I had one of Creswick but it got lost. No matter, there will be plenty more to come.

These works are for sale and I would be happy with $800 for the whole set.

Support Local Arts, so we can produce more...!
