One day I was gardening and felt light I was being watched, and looked around and couldn’t see anyone
The kookaburra snapped its beak at the swooping noisy minors and I managed to capture the moment.
Last year a vine was growing in the garden and produced an abundance of leaves and flowers which attracted a range of butterflies, bees and wasps
I have always loved birds and I remember buying my first bird guidebook at a very young age. I was so excited,
We camped out in the sand dunes after work one afternoon and listen to the waves crashing on the beach all night and a wonderful view of the Sygna shipwreck.
I had just cleaned up and was wondering what to watch on my iPad when I get a phone call from David the owner of Possum Park. “Do you like fireworks” my response was “yes”. “Bring your camera and a couple of ginger beers”.
As I rode around the corner I saw an orange glow and a tree on fire dropping sparks. David was stood next to his bobcat and pointed to a tree on fire and said “bush Fireworks” which became the name of this painting.
People have approached me over the past few months asking if I was going to teach some art classes, so I thought this might be a good idea
I have been photographing tree and stumps for years and since February I’ve been addicted to sketching them.
As a lone kayaker slices through the mirror surface of Dunns Swam they destroy the perfect reflection of the surrounding sandstone cliffs. The kayakers disturbance of the water slowly flattens and the picture perfect reflection is soon rebuilt. Then wind fractures the reflection and the cycle of destruction and recreation is played out once more.
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.
The good side to the bad weather was, we had some amazing sunsets and the dams were showing some fantastic reflections. The rainbow reflection was just incredible and I have never seen something that looked like it was a huge planet in the sky before.
I met some amazing people along the way and we shared some incredible stories, while walking through some stunning scenery.
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 wiped off my fingers while emptying the mouse traps.
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.
This wave of fog got caught in the thousands of spiderwebs in a range of sizes that were hanging off dead grass and shrubs.
One of my favourite animals at the zoo, and most difficult to photograph it seems is the emu. They are always on the move and never seem to be looking at you, and one of the biggest problems is all the trees in their enclosure.
Wuruma dam was a great place to relax and do a spot of photograph, rich in birdlife and a few mobs of kangaroos and pretty faced wallabies.
