Antarctica

Front cover and feature story in the legendary Antarctic magazine ” Antarctic”.

20th August, 2018

The painting ” Shackelton” front cover of Antarctic.

Here is a glimpse of the spread inside.

The reproductions were just about spot on as well. Here we the paintings “Shackleton’s Nimrod Hut” and “Thank you Mrs Sam”

Here is one of my favourite paintings ” Blow The Wind Southerly”. The painting depicts Scott’s ship ” Terra Nova” sailing through the brutal storm just South of New Zealand during the voyage to Ross Island Antarctica.

Life after the Antarctic paintings

20th February, 2018

Here is the last painting that was almost completed before the Antarctic paintings. I must say painting old leather boots is very enjoyable. To create the rich leather so you can almost smell it is the challenge. In this case the painting depicts a pair of ladies boots from the Victorian era set in a scene of a old potting shed.

Please visit again for an update on my next exhibition and subjects.

Nice story about the Antarctic paintings and New Zealand Post stamps. Please click on the link.

Antarctic exhibition sell out

12th November, 2017

Thank you to everyone who attended the Antarctic exhibition. Yes, the exhibition sold out but the greatest pleasure was seeing peoples emotional response to the paintings. two people were moved to tears. The greatest reward an artist can have. Thank you.

Thank you to my wife Ligliana for all the support over the years.
