I've painted this scene several times before, all with slight variations on a theme. This one is a commission for a specific size so needed to be compressed into the shorter format. Each time…

Painted this Mural on the climbing wall at Ruakaka Primary School earlier this year. The concept is adapted from Van Gogh's Starry Night. "Reach for the Stars Kids" is the inscription. My biggest painting yet. Painted in a day with large speed brushes. Good…

Hi guys, been down here in Glenorchy for 3 weeks now, trying to paint around the inclement weather. When it's good it's amazing, when it's bad it's really bad, but at least it brings with it the hope of more snow which makes everything that much more paintable. Got a sore neck at the moment.
