Pohutakawa Tree  30 x 30cm  Acrylics.

Another version of an earlier image of mine.  

 'The Dinghy'  I painted this very carefully then attacked it with various marks and swaiths of colour. I was attempting to morph this toward the contemporary.  Has it worked? Hard to say, it may not be quite there yet?  I chose to leave off though, rather than risk destroying 3 days of work.

 Wild flower study  30 x 30cm Acrylics.

A partial abstract floral study?

 

'Mt. Ruapehu from Lake Taupo'  acrylic on canvas.  100cm x 30cm

This painting was done over a year ago. Not sure why I never posted it before?

Painting not available.

 Low tide at Cox's Bay.  16in x 20in.  Acrylic

Never having used a pallet knife in painting before I had a crack at it on the trees and rather liked the result. I am a bit of a sucker for texture so went for it on the large foreground. Actually, I was trying to create a semi abstract but it has ended up with more representational look than I intended. I am not entirely unsatisfied with the result mind you. I think it works.

 Brian 30cm X30cm Acrylic & collage on canvas.

A little tribute for my younger brother who tragically died during lockdown here in NZ.  He used to be a jazz/blues drummer and loved his music.  He was a gentle soul and a deep thinker.

Abstract No. 1    Acrylic on box canvas  12in. x 24in.

Playing with texture and a limited pallet. I wanted to create something abstract but that also carried a message. This painting contains several metaphors relating to a very significant event in my brother and sister in law's lives, and in part, my own as well.  Collection of P. Mitchener.
