I am always in awe of the power of the sea. This painting is inspired by the many beaches in New South Wales, Australia where huge breakers leave you in no doubt of the immense forces at play. Even more remarkable is watching surf boarders who seem effortlessly to master the waves. Personally I willContinue reading “Waves”

The Crow
Corvus is a widely distributed genus of medium to large-sized birds including crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, magpies and jays. There is a fair amount of folklore and mythology surrounding crows.

Freedom
In this painting I was trying to capture a sense of unfettered freedom.

The name does not denote a natural group but rather any bird of prey large enough to hunt sizeable prey, although the eagle in this painting looks to be struggling in its search for food. Eagles can be found in allContinue reading “In search of food”
