A scene from Sydney’s northern beaches, near Avalon. I was living in Sydney in 1989. I seem to be drawn to vehicles and planes.

MAXWELL, 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 30 cm I painted MAXWELL, 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 30 cm
I painted 95 year old Max this week. He drove 30 minutes to my studio. He only fell asleep once. He’s an inspiration.

BROKEN TREE LANDSCAPE, 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 5 BROKEN TREE LANDSCAPE, 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 50 cm
I was drawn to this group of trees this morning. Perhaps they reminded me of Caspar David Friedrich scenes. The wild lines of the broken branches make expressionist painting come naturally.
