Light and Shadow, Lindis
Acrylic on canvas 760 x 500mm

This is a land of wide open spaces and timeless beauty. It is spectacular in low angle light. Lots of cool shadows bring out the elusive mood that I strive for.

First light, Lake Wanaka
Acrylic on canvas 800 x 600mm
Cool dark shadow areas and bright warm highlights gave me the inspiration for this painting. White is interlaced with yellows, pinks and blues which reflect the colour of light at this time of morning.
Matukituki - Diptych
Acrylic on canvas 2 panels 1520 x 610mm
This painting has an air of clarity and freshness because it captures the morning sunshine as it hits certain features of the land leaving distinct contrasts of light and shadow. I wanted to give the feeling of a cool winter morning and the warmth of the sun.
Clouds over Doubtful Sound
Acrylic on canvas 500 x 400mm
Cloud patterns have always intrigued me. Here they cast shadows over the land and also give a sense of perspective as they recede into the distance.
Clutha River
Acrylic on canvas 500 x 400mm
In this painting I strived to achieve the crispness of an autumn day through colour and texture. The strong vertical shape of the poplar tree contrasts with the horizontal lines of the river to make an interesting composition.
Lake Pukaki
Acrylic on canvas 900 x 500mm
The radiant glow of the sky and calmness of the water give this painting a mood of quiet tranquillity.
