I saw this amazing plant while I was out walking around Grey Lynn during Auckland's last big lockdown. I'd never seen it before and I just thought it was amazing. It's called Echium Candicans, the pride of Madeira - as it is native to the island of Madeira.

This lovely work of acrylics on canvas measures 1045mm x 1225mm,and is complimented with a lovely wooden frame.

"Pride of Madeira" shows an exploration into an alternative style, in it's more abstract free expression, all the while keeping a play of the new Zealand light on form.

This view is taken from a photograph looking out from Mimiwhangata DOC beach out to sea. One of my favourite places, this painting in acrylics on birchwood board measures 200mm x 200mm.

These 200mm x 200mm paintings on board look very cool hung together in sets of two or three ... or four.

This painting in acrylics on canvas is an expression of joy, well for me anyway :)

It measures 500mm x 400mm and is framed in a lovely oak tray frame.

This painting depicts a well known and much loved view of Mahurangi harbour. Painted from a photo I took as I was driving out towards Mita Bay on Mahurangi West Road. I love this area and it's beauty has inspired me to paint several paintings from different perspectives. Measuring 1240mm x 1240mm (framed in a black tray frame).

Te Hauturu-o-Toi (the official Māori title for Little Barrier Island). Little Barrier is depicted in the far left of this print. Te Hauturu-o-Toi means "the resting place of lingering breezes", a title which captured my attention, both as a very fitting description of the beautiful land I was studying to paint, along with my felt sense while painting this work.

This big painting is called "To Life" - my inspiration for the title coming after watching the documentary on Oliver Sacks - an amazing man and great doco depicting his life. 

The landscape background is Ponui island as viewed from the back of Waiheke Island, and the flowers of course Pohutukawa - maybe my favourite flower. Whether framed on paper or canvas this work stands out like a beautiful window looking out onto a summer's day on any wall.
