Arum in Black In this painting, the lilys emerge from a softly textured black/darkgreen background, Yet again I tried some photoshop manipulation to get me away from painting super realistically.
Arum in Black 822 AUD

Flame Rose SOLD For 8 months of the year we get to see a fence laden with this rose from our neighbours garden...we get the best view of it! The buds start bright apricot and as the bloom opens and ages, they turn peachy to gold and ruffly. I enhanced this in photoshop, so the reds/oranges are like flames. This is an acrylic painted on a large canvas. The wooden fence in the background has a crackle effect rendered.
Flame Rose 388 AUD

Cream Rose - SOLD This large piece is from a photo my daughter took in the Lady Norwood rose garden in Wellington′s botatincal gardens. I have ′funkied′ up the colours to make it a bit more contemporary, adding purple to the shadows, and apricot to the midtones.

Orchid SOLD Another of my photographs recreated on a large canvas in acrylic.
Orchid 388 AUD

Gerbera Magenta I decided I needed to do something bold and pink, so knowing I had photographed this some time ago, it was an obvious choice. I started painting this with a group of friends in a studio overlooking the sea, then the school holidays interupted me completely. School is back, so it is now complete.
Gerbera Magenta 320 AUD

Poppies I tried to capture the crinkled petals as they emerge from the buds, and the movement in the furry poppy stems.
Poppies 174 AUD

A Nice Pair - SOLD I have tried to give this painting an old scratched negative feel.
A Nice Pair 388 AUD

Vine Art Acrylic on canvas. With a rich red textured background and a simple dainty white vine creeping over it, this would make a lovely little piece in a bedroom setting. My school books at college often had these growing over them!

Gold Leaf1 Originally a photo of a green fern, I had a play in photoshop to get the creative juices flowing. The finishing touches include a white wash over the black background, and gold leaf to give it an extra lift.

Remembrance. Like most of my paintings, this was created from one of my own photographs. The colour of the bloom reminded me of the Anzac poppies. I have tried to capture the way the light was shining through the petals. The background has been textured with the use of crackle medium and layers of paint.
Remembrance 649 AUD
