Bus Stop #1

Size 80cm x 50cm

Acrylic Mediums on stretched cotton/poly canvas. Unframed

The Materials.

This is one of approximately twenty stretchers of this size built during the period between 1996 and 1998 while attending the Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree.

The primary purpose of this painting was as an experiment in acrylic mediums, glazes and complex surface textures to create effects rather than only using brush-strokes.

The picture has been pulled out of storage and finished at the end of 2006

Subject Matter: Travelling by public transport to attend university while disabled and ill was painful and exhausting. Many hours were spent sitting at bus-stops and on train-stations staring at the concrete barely able to lift my head. This is an interpretation of that view. 

Untitled

Size 60.1cm x 50.1cm

Acrylic Mediums on stretched cotton canvas. Unframed

The Materials.

Found in a roadside collection pile this canvas was given to me by a friend.

The primary purpose of this painting was as an experiment in acrylic mediums, and complex surface textures to create effects rather than only using brush-strokes. This image is more objective than the previous two and uses no glazes and fewer levels of medium

This little house almost seemed to speak to me as it sat among the giant eucalypts at Budgewoi on The Central Coast of NSW near my home. It is a scene I have painted because I enjoy looking at it and being near it!
