Lucy – Pencil Drawing (A3 size)

This beautiful dog I used to see regularly has now gone to doggie heaven. I’ll miss her and her happy greeting every time I arrived at her place. At our Art Club today, it was an absolutely therapeutic experience to draw Lucy — every mark came straight from my heart. NFS

Titled “Peto De Mer" Acrylics on Cement Board 

This Trompe-l’oeil artwork I painted to fit a bespoke window frame with found preloved shutters to an adjoining house wall that showcases this artwork in a Petersham courtyard. What a great way to add interest and a water view. It's added a European feel to this lovely little private garden in the inner west of Sydney. 

I love seeing how art can elevate outdoor spaces and create a sense of place! Gifted 💝

 A Slice Of Heaven - Colour Pencil on cardboard, 20x29cms 

A study on how to paint and draw glass inspired this little sketch copied from a painting I found by Tracey Schramm. Just too irresistible to draw and included hand lettering in the background. What a sweet treat Vanilla slices are!!

Autumn Time  -  20x30cms. Approx. Acrylics and oils on stretched canvas

On a recent car safari to Ned Kelly country with the Rotary Club of Hunters Hill, this cute little house was spotted by one of our rally organisers Helen. I invited all participants to take a photo of something I could do a painting of. Helen's photo won and this painting has now been gifted to her.

Close To You  122x92cms. Acrylics and oils on stretched canvas

Inspired by and containing excerpts of poetry by Steve Sullivan, Close to You features the stunning flowers of the Eucalyptus ceasia tree. This large artwork combines brush lettering with abstract shapes and vivid colours. The bright colours represent the everyday joy that endures through a strong and loving relationship; and the poetry communicates a yearning that persists through the seasons of passing time. $2200 Sold

 

 Drinks And Pizza  - 50x40 cms Acrylics on canvas board 

This wordy artwork was inspired by the fabulous signs that were once seen on and in milk bars.

Zooming in on a page of signs in a book titled The Milk Bars Book with my phone camera, I found an interesting area to paint creating an arty edge for my composition. Love paying artistic homage to the retro lettering of yesteryear. $1250 Unframed
