Here is a new painting which was a direct response to dancing through several Picasso Still Life and Figure paintings. When I asked what he thought about it he said….. “Bloody terrible mate” in a pronounced Aussie accent. (I didn’t think he could speak Australian) Then he reminded me of the initial reaction to Les Demoiselles d’Avignon…. “It was terrible too! “

The benefits of a morning ride way exceed the physical. Each morning as I ride around the Wetlands my spirit soars with the sounds and stunning visual scenes which unfold before me. Here is just one of many which delight my eyes.

Dancing Through A Storm
This is a new mixed media painting on paper.
Storms can be so threatening and it is a refreshing and uplifting feeling if you can believe you are dancing through it.

New Painting With Figures
This is a close up of my latest painting. There are figures in a Cafe being served by a waiter. Although all my work is about mystery and you need to see what you can find. Life is like that. We see outward signs of things and we somehow put it all together.
But if we delve deeper much more is revealed.

Here is a very rough video preview of a new painting. It’s all about “feelings” and I hope it is transmitted to you.
I have always felt Art is a living thing….. or should be. It should make us feel more alive. Elevate our spirits. Make our hearts race.

Altarpiece
This is a Modern Celebration of The Creative Power of The Universe.
A new painting on Seven stretched canvases…..a heptaptych!
When I lived in and travelled Europe in the 70’s I was always amazed by the Altarpieces. They are most impressive works of art and none more so than the famous Ghent Altarpiece. I had completely forgotten them till this new painting emerged.
It somehow just seems right to me to paint a modern version of these remarkable works of art.

Views From The Backyard
Art is all around us and particularly where we live. Often it becomes so familiar we take it for granted.
Once we start seeing fresh what surrounds us we see life and beauty in a new way.
