I am really loving this little piece. When I saw this lone light post glowing in the night I couldn't help myself. I just knew it had to be painted it just felt right. it was like hearing a song for the first time that you instantly want to hear again... . It's part of the @warrnamboolcoastershow opening this Saturday at 4pm @thefprojectarts There are some incredible artists included in the show! . And thanks for the framing @hennastframers made it shine 🥰 (at Warrnambool, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B58lyv2nkWc/?igshid=1dln9f7wld2bq

It gives me alot of pleasure just to sit with my works. And Intrigues me that people also enjoy them as much - if not more than I do myself!? I cannot wait to share all of the secret prints with you on Sunday the 8th! I hope you're excited as I am (at Warrnambool, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5m1Vm5nsEm/?igshid=1ktmlnk2g15qn

Not even close to finished but it's nice to stick it on the studio wall and see how it feels without the easel and other clutter around it... . Still amazed by the story behind the print that I'm going to release, cannot believe I painted someone's house who i just met and am starting to work with now on an exciting new project!? How amazing is this little planet!!! (at Warrnambool, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ryab7HNV2/?igshid=12al638dmm4uc

"It's so hard to say excuse me" 35 X 25cm. How do you think this was said? Serious? Sad? Sarcasm? Write it in below then I'll let you know tomorrow 🤗 . I love how this one glows, and the way the three birds sit on the wire, I really felt this one came off the brush easily - they certainly all don't... . You can see it @yavaarts till November 3rd. Check their opening hours. . (at Healesville, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HZm1tHi3K/?igshid=l30njw1mdcpf

"he's an older guy..." 28x35cm GOOD NEWS - the show has been extended till the 3rd of November @yavaarts . Love Healesville! Such an amazing place, well worth the visit, everyone there is just so darn lovely! . And it means you get to see this painting properly... It's a really simple painting, but there is something I just love about it's simplicity - which is why I didn't put anymore paint on...It's also a cross road - insert deep metaphors here.

I love the way this painting glows in person, wouldn't mind keeping it hah! BUT - We are auctioning this little 12 X 17cm work off this Saturday night at the Warrnambool Hospice fundraiser - Can't make it? No problem we will be live on my Instagram 8pm AEST time Saturday the 20th and you can bid from there - it's starting at half price 🤗 it's for a darn good cause! . I believe that's is 9am UTC time on the 20th (maybe double check hah) . Also postage and handling will need to be paid if you can't pick it up 🤗 its roughly $50 anywhere in Australia - International we can find out if you win 😎✔️ (at Warrnambool, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3rJ3I3HnTf/?igshid=1dou1l59kbm58

I love this little painting, and I've finally returned to live where I painted it. And because of that, I'm going to let it go. 7pm tonight I'm going to put a link up on my stories to buy it - half what I usually charge! First in best dressed 🤗 (in 2 hrs) . It was one of the first Plein air paintings I ever did, and it just worked. It was one of those lovely summer evenings where the wind dropped, the air was warm but not hot. And it just made me happy to be alive and lucky to paint. . Now I get to feel that every day here in #warrnambool so I want to pass it on to someone else 🥰 . #oilpainting #painting #light #dark #geelong #newcontemporaryart #painting #realism #fineart #melbourne #australiancontemporaryart #artcollective #urbanlife #color #urban #tonal #landscape #shadows #wip #colour #figurativeart #landscape #inmelbcity #melbmoment #pleinair #tonalistpainting #architecture (at Warrnambool, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2V6UzZH-6V/?igshid=1ahgt9gxhj6yq

Been a while between posts! Life getting in the way of living and well I moved... Currently in the @thefprojectarts studios which has been exciting 🥰 This is one of my favourite paintings from the last show, unfortunately it has already sold! Trying to emulate some of the loose(ish) paint marks on the ground in the foreground at the moment...trying 😂😅🤪 (at Warrnambool, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzxT3L-nsZ2/?igshid=4bggf8y3u95y

What's the most amazing thing you've ever swapped for your art? I've had some amazing swaps - surfboards - rent among others... For me, it has to be the most recent... A Steinway Piano... I love playing, I'm so happy to have done this it sounds...magic. Now I've just got to get it...home haha! (at Geelong, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwuL-xnpaM/?igshid=1hfg26ga6cpvp

"I nearly burnt the bagle...But I didn't!!!" definitely one of the funniest things I've ever heard while I was painting in Geelong. Just reposting this because I posted the old one just now - if you swipe left you can see the difference between the two...Added bonus is the detail shot at the end ☺️ I love Geelong.

"Eleven months since we put the EOI in Bill, Eeeellleevennn months" Poor guy was having a fit, you probably recognise this place if you drive between Melbourne and Geelong regularly...Little River BP. Swipe for closeups 🤗 How much better does a good frame make a painting!? (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxEMtoThDD0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=54bu3tae8azf
