These are 6 of the works that I am putting in the City Mission Art Exhibition at the Long Gallery, Salamanca Place, HObart.

It is to raise money to help the City Mission Shelter.

Mental Health Week exhibition

These 2 artworks, both $380 each, will go in the Minds Do Matter exhibition in October, 2011, in the Hobart Botanical Gardens. It is part of mental health week.

bestfineart paintings

These 6 artworks I have just finished to send over to W.A. to the Stirling Fine Art Gallery. Check out their gallery on www.bestfineart.com. I am really pleased with them so I have that John and Angie are also.

Ancient Earth, and Goodwins Peak,

The blue coloured oil painting is not a very large work, but of Goodwins Peak and the Franklin River. It is simple, yet I am pleased with the result.

The large mixed media work is 95cm x 72 cm and based on the McDonnell Ranges in Central Australia. The colours and textures are very much of outback Australia, with a hot stormy sky in the background.
Both these works have now sold.

Oil paintings

These are my 2 latest oil paintings, very impressionistic in a way. The one with the boats in is of the Red Ochre Beach, from Dodges Ferry, and the other one is of Church Street, Ross, which was my assigned spot to do a painting for an exhibition in Ross.

Stormy skies and Quoll

This first photo is of Quoll Artists Gallery, showing a really large work of mine on my panel. I have been commissioned to do one this size, but in outback colours. This work is of the Carlton River and marshes which is just down the hill from where I live. The oil painting of the sea and sky on the next panel is by Helen Jessup.
The next photo is of Cradle Mountain - pretty basic really!
Then the next two of the outback, the buyer who lives in Sydney wanted me to put stormy skies in them instead of the blue skies that were there, and I love the effect. Will do it again!

All of these are done in mixed media, which is mostly screen printed background, or using a foam roller, then I add textural paper, calico strips or canvas strips, even in the foreground is from a flax mat that came from Fiji or Tonga that the Queen walked on! Then I work in on top of this with

porcelain paint, gutta, gem stones, and feathers.

From Ireland to Island

These 4 mixed media paintings are works to go in an exhibition about ancestral Celtic connections to Ireland, and the journey of the soul from there.

The work with the blue and white is called Beneath the Surface, and is an inner journey of Irish ancestral memories.

The one with the sea in it, has maps of Ireland also in it.

The very purple one is called Free At Last, another journey of the soul, yet also a journey away from the confines my ancestors would have had in Ireland, before they left.

The final one with a stone henge is called Druid's Table.

McDonnell Ranges

Another mixed media work, about the outback of Australia. I am doing a series, of quite large ones, all the same size, for selling at Quoll, or maybe for framing and selling at a higher price!!
