I am working on several portraits at the moment. Because a few people have asked to see examples of my work, I thought I would create a page with only portraits to clear away the clutter.

The girls were happy to pose for this portrait. We had fun at the time.

So, below you see our friend Cheesy. This was painted for an exhibition back down the track. This artwork is influenced by the colours of Cunnamulla. It is also reflective of the earthiness of the surroundings. It is raw and straightforward.

This is a picture of Tice with the cat from next door called Mr Laite.

And this is a picture of my old friend Phoonoo. (Painted with permission from Margo, her sister.)

This is a picture of my niece. Family is important to me, and this one was painted on holiday in Sydney.

Believe it or not, I met Dadi Janki when she was in Australia. Her philosophy is important to me to this day. I painted this picture. I was experimenting with subtle texture.

This illustration was painted one day when Cheesy and Dan took us out to explain the Sandhills of Cunnamulla.

And here you can see me experimenting with reflections. Again, these are my nieces reflected in my glasses when on a trip in Sydney.

These portraits were painted on boards for the graduation passing out parade at our school. It was a lot of fun.

I’ll add a few more when I photograph them in the morning.
