website is finally up and running

hello there,
i finally can announce the website is up and running. i am still in the process of finishing some new paintings for my originals page though. i am re-working my vampires from ballyhoo gallery, making their iris's more intense and confronting, i am re-working an old 1.5m canvas of the beautiful gemma ward aswell. it was the painting shortlisted in metro 5, a few years ago - opening her eyes up another 50%. she looks heaps better. so please enjoy the site and please continue to follow my blogger.
facebook and u-tube coming soon
enjoy

i recently finished this tripdyth for the show in ballarat.  i miss using black.....

good evening. just sharing a new work with you. i have painted 'jasmine' as my sample piece. i have an advertisement coming out next month in a glossy mag and painted a new piece for the ads image. sorry about the webpage, i am a perfectionist working with a great designer, so patience please. heres her work, i hope you enjoy.

i mentioned i am happy to announce i am now offering portrait photography. loads more details will be on the web page once completed. i just wanted to give you guys a taste of my style, atmosphere and composure.

hello everybody; i am so sorry i has been well a couple of years. i had better explain myself. well i guess life took a hold and i lived a little. i am in love, i am healthy and i am re-vamping my portraiture business. i am happy to announce i am now able to offer many services; rather than just fine art oil on canvas. i now offer photography, all aspects from weddings to family shots, flower murals, child portraiture, animal drawings...... at very reasonable prices. i am located in ocean grove, victoria so my prices are local. melbourne photography is a little more just due to distance. i am still exhibiting, the next show is at gallery 806, a debut show in ballarat opening on the 29th july. i have donated a portrait of miranda kerr to st. josephs' art expo for the silent auction conponent. we are also launching the photography at a new artist market in geelongs cbd over the next two months, 31stth of july and 28th of august in market square. i am there from 11 to 4pm. there was an artical in the geelong times today explaining the markets and a profile on my business including a photo on page three. i am also happy to offer art classes from my home/studio/loungeroom. i am offering beginners and intermediate classes. learn how to stretch a canvas and work up a painting, or come a broadern your hozions and tone your skills in the intermediate class. six classes, six weeks, 3 hours plus lunch $4oo.
i have a new web page under construction and should be viewable by the 13th of july. there is a page on each service i offer, a full price list, bio, shop, gallery......please log on at some time.

now this is me. its really close to the right feel i want in my work. i love the edgie eye makeup, i love the black gloves: so rich and the hair wow, i haven't dared go so black and bold for such a long time - it was truely refreshing to be me again. black is back with big time. enjoy

here is my harry potter painting.... only realized when i finished how much it looks as if harry was a strong influence. you must believe it was not an intention. i did well picking the owl; i have been told it is an extremely rare breed who sleep at night. therefore make perfect pets, if you can manage to import one. extremely hard i've heard to purchase one.

i love this painting. i recently finished it after leaving her for a few months - just watching her as i walked past... but after cleaning her up (extra layers of white) i believe she doesn't need anything else.

here is my newest work. hope you all like lots. i am so happy with it. take care

i really enjoyed returning to a monochromatic color scheme and feel very proud of this painting. i am happy with the outcome of the folds in the material of her dress, something i have not attempted for some time. i like the overall look of piece, feeling the background really closes in on the subject matter, successful in adding an element of power to the duo.

here is one of the paintings i completed of miranda kerr over the summer. i entered her into the doug moran but was not lucky enough to be shortlisted. she did however make quite the impression on the owner of international art courier services (IAS) and a number of his staff. so happy with the wisteria. i have never used a lot of purple in a painting before and believe it has brought a strangely soft touch to the work almost a soft perfumed frangance.

i thought i might create this blog so i can share with you all my work, in a better and less formal format then my old web page. so please bookmark my blog and note my new email address. i hope you will enjoy watching my paintings grow and mature. i am just about to commence competition pieces for next year and i am happy to announce i am painting portraits of the beautiful and successful miranda kerr first up. i am currently having my first solo exhibition in australia's most beautiful gallery the convent, daylesford. i also have a large collection of drawing is vintage and antique gold and brass italian frames in the convents, giftshop. i have been told my work has had quite the recieption in daylesford; constant large daily audiences.
