My Art, My Way!

Welcome!

Latest Scratchboard Projects completed:

France - Old Friends; well it can be interpreted either old people friends or old buildings - I actually mean "old building", this is a typical French scene, it is in the historic town of Moulins, this place just takes your breath away. 
I used scratchboard and limited colour. This painting was one of the five I had on display in the small gallery on Phillip Island from Wednesday to Monday (12th Jan). Shared with a with a group of other Victoria artists.

Devine Miss M - Portrait of a Lama - Scratchboard no colour.  The most gentle of creatures, this beautiful animal now resides with us including her teenage daughter "Stella".  They look after a small flock of sheep.  Scratchboard, and I decided no colour was necessary.  Such an eventful face!

Grumpy is a constant subject of mine - watching her grow into this amazing little creature is a wonderful experience; and what a great subject - I always sketch her from life onto the Scratchboard - it makes it more "nature', not perfect, but an artwork.  Her expressions change all of the time, so it is essential to grab one that catches her mood.
Thrilled to say this project is now complete, i added a little colour just to show off a little more, I do love her expression and defience.

 Update of what has been happening in 2022 ....
Life has definitely got in the way of my art this year.  Illness in my family, brought it to a standstill.  However, art is my solace, and I am now updating on what has been happening with some of my images that I entered into various shows.  Glad to say my man is getting better with each passing month and my life is returning to normal (if there is ever a normal!).
I am so thrilled to be awarded" Artist of the Month" in late February with Camelback Galleries in Arizona US - with my Devine Miss M.
Fusion Art, giving "finalist" awards to two of my water colours - feel very honoured to be included - in the Annual Landscapes Exhibition for the Month of May, hanging with some amazing company!  And in January - My "Old Friends" scratchboard received a "Special Recognition" in the Multimedia Contest - with 6Contest In the beautiful city of Prague.
Receiving a Bronze Award from Camelback Galleries "Artist Choice" Exhibition for my "Old Friends" was a thrill in February.

2021....
A note of appreciation:  I wish to thank the wonderful USA organisations as, Light Space and Time
for their support and wonderful opportunities for my artworks, Camelback Gallery for their continued support and opportunities as well as being a featured Artist again - very privileged indeed.  Also not forgetting Fusion Art, wonderful opportunities to showcase artworks. 
In Europe, Circle Foundation for the Arts has given me so much opportunity, and again I am so privileged to have these unique chances, a huge thankyou. 
Having these opportunities to showcase my art internationally is a wonderful experience. 
I must also mention 6CONTEST in Prague - for the wonderful competitions and encouragement.
​ I know that many new opportunities have arisen from these sites, so that is very special, thank you all.
