Softly White


I love painting daisies. Their stems are so graceful with their heads seemingly reaching out to the sunlight.

Amongst the Tussock - Arrowsmith Range


A Sunday afternoon picnic up in the high country inspired this painting, where the Arrowsmith range made the most splendid backdrop for the Angus herd meandering through the tussock.

"Dairy on the Prairie"


Awarded "Best Local Artist 2006 - Minerals to Arts Exhibition".

We came across this mixed herd of cattle on a very hot Mid-Canterbury afternoon, some of which had taken refuge under this lovely tree. I was fascinated by how the light dappled across their coats and how the backlighting filtered through the trees.

White Poppies


I love painting poppies - they are nature's answer to ballet dancers. This painting is currently on view at the Jones Herlihy Fine Arts Gallery, Christchurch.

Shadow Lands

This piece was painted in situ - in a valley behind the Four Peaks Range, South Canterbury. I was particularly interested in capturing the cloud shadows as they danced across the foothills. View at ChocolArt Gallery, Ashburton.

Early morning stroll


This was a "must paint" moment when I happened upon a herd of cattle strolling down a road in the shadow of Mount Hutt, Mid Canterbury.
