Here is a new painting which works in both a horizontal or vertical format. For a long time I have been interested in seeing “Art” from different points of view.

After contemplating this painting for quite some time I decided not to rework it and instead reflecting on defining the extraordinary. What is it and how does it effect us. So for the present time I am…..

Here is a random photograph of an approaching sunset from a bedroom window. Viewing the changing sky and the many birds who fly past the window returning home is fascinating. Entertainment unlimited!

This is a new painting, untitled at this time. It clearly shows my strongest ongoing passion as an artist over decades. Deconstruction has been a major part of this. When Brian Kennedy, then Director of the Australian National Gallery in Canberra Australia visited the New York studio where I was working and saw my art he described it as totally unique and original. He saw the embryo of where my work has developed. While most artists want to capture or express what they see or feel I have rarely wanted to do that. My goal has been to allow my art to guide me and find new and better ways to express itself in infinite forms. This new painting is one such discovery.

This is another new mixed medium acrylic painting on A2 paper. These have an obvious Dekooning influence which I gladly accept. I do know that meeting Dekooning along my journey was most beneficial although I remember I did spend time with him earlier in my career.

I found this small A4 painting on paper recently amongst my many larger works. I had dismissed it because it was an experiment with different techniques etc. Upon viewing it again I was pleasantly surprised.

Captured these images recently. When I returned to look at them I suddenly realised how throughout our lives there is always somebody (something) caring, guiding and protecting us….. even when we are unaware of them. Even this kite surfer has an obvious Hidden Helper!
