There’s a fairly substantial channel marker in Port Jackson, sitting on a reef in the main channel. Definitely a hazard to shipping. On a calm morning there is no bustle of ferries, shipping and plea

Robertson Point sits at the end of the Cremorne peninsula in Sydney Harbour. The lighthouse is iconic and much photographed. Walking the dog there recently reminded me of it, and how in the evening t

Trying to develop a better landscape style I came up with this design. This was the sketch I did to inspire this work. The same but different, the pen can do things the cutting tools cannot. Foolish

My notes say that this was a quick Lino cut done in class (yes, I am still learning) intended to be coloured - sometimes they may be a black and white print and then I colour them, but more recently

A change from flowers, butterflies have a nice symmetry. This is modelled on a Monarch butterfly not intended to be true to life. Once designed and cut into the Lino I had to decide on the background

I am rarely politically opinionated, but this statement accidentally fell into place. I started off doing an abstract design, based on something I sketched in my notebook. Just some horizontal lines

In my rising clouds series I wondered if colouring the black and white print using different media would yield different results. Wax crayons These proved a little difficult to fill in precisely on t

Another 1998 work rediscovered recently, this was trying to capture that first impression of going to the beach in Spring. No crowds, high clouds, the sun low enough to give the ocean a deeper shade

We have a lot of Clivea in the garden, they make an excellent ground cover even if they are inclined to spread and get out of control. The ones in the garden are very orange, but have come out with f

Back in 1998 (it seems like a long time ago) I had an urge to paint that disappeared when life got too busy. Long story short I rediscovered some of my acrylic work when tidying up the roof space rec

Playing around with pen and ink and coloured pencil. With little perspective, the tents have the same roofline and so get taller as the beach falls away. It seems I am always “playing around“ with pe
