Winter moon rising

Oil on Canvas 11*14
This is a scene that I created from a bunch of photographs and remembered dusk sky, I noticed the moon rising over the horizon when I was coming home from a scouting trip and I thought that would work in a painting.

First winter scene

oil on board 8*10
I found this stream out on 3 point road I simplified the painting and tried rearranging the scenery to make the painting work better.

Yellow Fields of Autumn

Oil on Board 8*10
I found this scene coming back from the Leighton centre where they accepted to show three of my painting for the gallery woo hoo
I have paintings in a gallery cool.
This photo is a little bit darker than what I want but I really liked the yellow fields and dramatic sunlight that I was painting in. there were cows that came over the field and they were almost yellow as well with the sunshine hitting them.

Last light

24*24
This is one my largest paintings to date, I completed it recently as I wasn't sure how to take it to the next step.
it worked out ok in the end.

Fish Creek Park

Oil on Board 12*16
this is a plain air sketch the biggest I have done so far, I painted this place earlier in the month and I wanted to go back and change a few things before I lost all the golden tree leaves.

Golden Light

Oil on Board 8*10
Golden Light at the Fishcreek Park.
Fishcreek park and its shadows, I liked the Shadows and the shapes of the tree branches.

Little run off river Beaver flats.

10*12 oil on Board
This is a painting that is literally 180 degrees from the other painting. I just turned around and painted what was behind me. I liked the rocks and the light hitting the back and the little cool trees.
I just wanted to try some thing different so I just went for it big block in colours big brush and I had fun with this one.

No longer Beaver Flats

8*10 oil on board
This is in K country, this used to be a wide expanse of grassland next to the river but as the floods came along the Beaver flats got toasted, so a river runs through it with little rivers branching off.


Fish Creek river entrance

8*10 oil on board
Here is a place I have wanted to paint for a while,
in the background I did some editing a massive freeway bridge is in the back with the trees kinda is a monstrosity but after editing this turned out ok I love the Autumn colours.


Little autumn Painting



6*8 oil on board
