Matukituki River
Acrylic on canvas 1600 x 900mm

The solidity of land finds a fascinating contrast in the elusive quailities of water. Reflective and transparent and always on the move, its transient effects can be hard to capture.

Ahuriri River
Acrylic on canvas 500 x 600mm
Many times an artist will overlook a possible painting scene because it is not obvious or striking. I had often passed this setting before I saw a painting in it.
Fading Light, Lindis Pass
Acrylic on canvas 1200 x 750mm
I've Painted this area many times and don't tire of it. The light in this instance was fleeting and dramatic allowing bold shadows and wide contrasts. Even with this drama there was a feeling of quietness and solitude.
Evening Light, Doubtful Sound
Acrylic on canvas 600 x 500mm
The sky is an important part of the composition of this painting. It radiates an amber hue as the sun struggles to penetrate the clouds. Mood has always been a primary focus in my art.
