Creating pictures is a key element in how I enjoy life. I mainly paint pictures of Australian Native Birds, rural landscapes and bush tracks. My interpretation of places, recognition of details in nature, and development of compositions results from my years wandering through the bush.
My preferred mediums are watercolour and drawing in either pen and ink or pencil. Practically all of my watercolour paintings are on Arches 300gsm hot pressed paper which provides a beautiful smooth surface for capturing detail and completing fine line-work. I use only the finest quality professional artist’s paints I can find.
My purpose in painting is firstly to express my personal artistic nature or character- I “see” things and therefore just simply want to create a picture of what I see. But far more importantly than that, I paint birds because I love them for their habitual diversity and beauty. And then of course I paint birds with the hope that I might encourage other people to appreciate the need to ensure the permanent preservation of birds generally and in particular our Australian Black Cockatoos and smaller Parrots and bush birds that are increasingly vulnerable for many reasons.
And my favourite wetland Australian Native Bird is the Great Crested Grebe.
