Today's painting is "Isolation" from my Minotaur series where I used a Minotaur to represent a stereotype, in this case Artists.

Wild, wet and cold out there today folks.
This flashback to a work I did 1965 ...sums up how it feels right now. Brrrrrr. Stay warm, dry and safe everyone.

New addition to my website, part of the Australian landscape series.
This ‘Rocky Outcrop’ was done in 2020…yes, I’m still catching up on digitizing my collection. It takes time!

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: Bushranger Ben Hall died 5th May, 1865. I've been fascinated by this local legend and to be photographed years apart in identical poses and clothing.
Here's my comparison paintings of Ben Hall - the first in colour won the Forbes Heritage Award in 2021.

Coming up to ANZAC Day thought I'd run a feature on my public art commission for the Cowra POW Breakout Commemorative Sculpture.
Here's the full artwork on the original Prisoner of War campsite. It is situated adjacent to the Japanese Gardens in Cowra.

Happy & safe Easter holidays everyone.
