Because of the wind - watercolour
In 2012, with the help of like minded artists, I founded the South Australian Watercolour Society with the aim of promoting the appreciation and practice of watercolour painting.
I enjoy doing demonstrations, conducting workshops and teaching courses in animal and portrait painting and generally increasing public awareness and appreciation of good portraiture and realist art both oils and watercolour.
My other art passions are sculpture, wood carving and cartooning and drawing.
I am frequently called upon to judge art shows and open exhibitions.
