Limited Edition Prints
Black Label Collection A3
These “Black Label Collection” limited edition prints are a copy of an original artwork that I have recently painted in gouache. They will have a single print run of 30 Limited Edition Prints, and 1 Artist Proof of some designs for display purposes only.
Each limited edition print will be individually numbered and signed by myself the artist and displayed in a cello pouch to eliminate dust and have a single sheet of cardboard for rigidity.
No other prints will be created of my “Black Label Collection” in any other formats eg: greeting cards – postcards – calendars, unlike my “White Collection” of limited edition prints.
Contemplating Wild Life
A wise old frog sitting for hrs contemplating its wild life in the forest. Some sit and contemplate other do.
I was quite startled when it leapt onto my arm, as my scrawny arms must make a good impression of a woodland tree.

A3 Size – 420mm x 297mm

Freddy Fungi
This artwork has dramatic use of negative black space that centres the focus on the frog. More camouflage and colour was achieved with the addition of several fungi.
You can sense the frogs about to leap off the page and capture its prey.

Cicada’s New Beginning
November 2017 I was walking in Glenbrook National Park on a warm summers day and the noise of the cicadas was deafening. I noticed something on a tree and little did I know I was about to witness something amazing, a cicada breaking out of it’s shell. I was speechless and in awe of this miracle of nature.

Black Label Collection A4
Seaweed Urchin
Well this is a different kind of a story as I’ve broken my own rules about only using my own photographs. I saw a sea urchin in seaweed on a friends instagram account (Charlottegannet) and just had to try and paint it. The location was close to Tarbat Ness Lighthouse, Scotland.

Cattle Egret Playing Statue
This cattle egret was almost in a trance like state playing statue while another hundred or so birds were making such a ruckus, at Lake Alford Park, Gympie.
I like its individuality at standing out while doing nothing.
These are normally seen riding on the backs of cattle or at their feet looking for insects as the cattle feed.

Junction Falls South Lawson
I tried to capture the movement of water as it cascades over the many rock shelves. Never knowing which path each stream of water will take across the page until it finally reaches the bottom.
This waterfall is located in the mid Blue Mountains, NSW but have been told it looks like so many others people recognise.

Kaleidoscope Dreaming
A few loose strands of this coral creeper blowing in the wind attracted the most wonderful kaleidoscope of butterflies, moths and bees.
Nicely balanced with colour, shapes and movement, you’re sure to find hidden insects among the flowers.
Have you ever stopped just to watch how your garden moves in the wind and what insects it attracts ?

Mischievous Juvenile
A monotone painting of a juvenile magpie capturing all its detail in white and grey gouache. The soft airy down was achieved with the finest of brushes and the most lightest of pressure hardly touching the paper.

Camino Marker
One of my favourite and more complicated paintings I’ve undertaken, showing a large variety of foliage with the use of a limited pallet. The softness of the foliage is a stark contrast to the hard stone pillar and the arrow chiseled showing direction to follow.
This is one of thousands of Camino markers stretched across Spain guiding all hikers making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Protective Parenting
Displaying a rather fluffed up defensive pose to anyone that got within a close proximity to its offspring.
The black swans feathers were painted in white and grey gouache.

Swanning Around
The little cygnet is the centre piece of the two adult swans and a contrast to them in size and colour.
I tried to show the difference between the soft, fluffy down on the body to the matted pointy tips on the saturated neck. This was a result from numerous attempts at searching for weeds underwater while having the neck submerged.
30 Limited Edition Prints Only + 1 Artist Proof
A4 Size – 297mm x 210mm.
Elegant Gliding
You may see the swan as a whole but your attention is soon focused on the red bill and intense eye. Then you follow the beautiful shape of its neck and body mimicking the number two.
Your attention is then drawn to the soft reflection and ripples in the water that flow into the next painting.

White Collection A3

Printed on the same Knight Linen Textured acid free board as the black label collection.
Gang Gang Cockatoo
I spotted a single gang gang cockatoo, it was as curious of us as we were of it. I was amused how his head feathers were blowing in the wind and it just watched us, turning to let us take photos from a variety of poses.

Burrow The Wombat
Just after I photographed this wombat at Australia Zoo, he came racing down the hill to a gate. I thought he was going to be fed by the zoo staff because of his speed.
To my surprise he was fitted with a harness and taken for a walk around the zoo, so I managed to get a much closer encounter than I was expecting. His name tag said “Burrow”.

Magnificently Bad Tempered
As I hadn’t come across any Cassowaries while driving around far north Queensland or the Daintree rainforest, I was left with a problem as I only mainly paint from my own photographs.
Since Australia Zoo was only 3.5hrs away, I decided to go for a drive as I was certain that they had some.

Mr Grumpy
I must have followed this guy around the creek for a good 10mins trying to get some nice shots. The ground close the the creek was like sinking mud, so I had to step from grass tuft to grass tuft, trying to keep my shoes clean. Over all I managed to get some good photos of the kookaburra so I may possibly paint another.

Rainbow Bee-Eater
I could not believe how colourful the rainbow bee-eater was, I was mesmerised by it darting around me. Photographed at Norval Park, Queensland a the beginning of my road trip that has given me so many subjects to paint.

Trusty and Spike
