 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

 Blue By Me - 750x750mm Acrylics on Canvas 

Starting off with random letters as an underpainting, this researched painting process changed along the way. Finding spaces to create shapes and with a restricted palette I was adding brush strokes with excitement and spontaneity. Abstract art is a genre I have never explored until now. The ambiguity and lack of objective representation is what I am loving. $950 unframed

 "Threesome"  22x30cms Acrylics and oils on canvas board

One of my dear friends when she turned 30 received 30 vanilla slices as a gift, that's what I call a sensational gift. Being a fav of mine I love painting these yummy treats. 

How happy was I when I found an image to reference that had them stacked up. Just had to capture that for ongoing viewing pleasure 😂  $630 unframed

 Première école - ( First School ) 40x50cms. Acrylics and oil on stretched canvas 

I was inspired to paint the Hunters Hill Primary School from a photo I took while pre poling opposite the school during our local council elections. The cute heritage building caught my eye and I decided to offer it for auction at a Hunters Hill Rotary fundraiser event after recently completing the artwork. SOLD $400 Thank you to Alison Voulgaris who was the winning bidder.

Abstroke #2

Abstroke #2 - 10"x12" Acrylics on board

Combining my lettering and art passions, this abstract style has recently evolved. 

My brother Bill came up with the name "Abstroke" for this style I am currently exploring. This piece has been painted especially for one of my great nieces who admired the first one I did for her Granddad.

Thanks Bill, will keep my "Abstoke" style going for now and go bigger. Can you spot any hidden letters?
