After retiring from my ‘real job’, I revived my

boyhood interest in art. I soon found my

natural medium in water colour as it seemed

to best suit my inclination to express the

light, atmosphere and beauty of the natural

environment, especially the Australian

landscape.

Not surprisingly, I was influenced by the

work of Hans Heysen and the Romantic

tradition, especially JW Turner and Romantic

poets.

The light of early morning and late afternoon

are for me, ‘the magic hours’ and I seek to

often interpret subjects with the aim of

creating ’visual poetry’.

Art can be a rather solitary pursuit and I

have enjoyed the balance of teaching and

taking workshops, especially overseas in

Tuscany and France.

After doing a demonstration for the Elgin

Artists in 2014, I joined the group not only to

paint at the studio but to enjoy the

stimulation of socialising with like minded

people who find continuing satisfaction in the

creative process.
