The trouble with painting on black paper is once you add a background it's hard to tell if the image is a day or night time scene.
It is such a good feeling to know that my artwork will be hanging in peoples homes in the local community of Miles.
About a month ago I was photographing birds in the backyard with my 600mm lens and I spotted a grey butcherbird, which seemed to find a bit of peanut butter that...
I always get excited when new prints arrive in the post and I must say that Springwood Printing did a fabulous job on these latest artworks.

I was walking around Australia Zoo when I spotted this white faced heron looking for some lunch among the water lilies. I managed to get a nice photograph of the heron...
when I started taking these photos I didn't think that they would end up as one of my best paintings as I was more into making videos at the time.
This is another one from Australia Zoo, the place I go to photograph difficult to find or unusual animals. I didn't realise that doves came in such bright colours and I...
The blue faced honey eater is a wonderful bird that hangs around my cottage every day, all year round. I often see it taking a drink from my bird bath or...
This little Pardalote was busy building it's nest or making home improvements maybe for a larger family, I'm not sure but it was wonderful to watch.
