Wall To Wall Art Gallery – Featured Artist Exhibition
From 11 August to 14 September my works can be viewed at the featured artist wall at Wall to Wall Art Gallery, Nelson. The paintings chosen are reflecting beautiful autumn colours.
Ruby Bay and the Seagulls
Ruby Bay and the Seagulls was inspired by the two paintings Flight of the Seagulls and Ruby Bay. It occurred to me that we always see the seagulls flying over the land- and seascapes, but what would it look like if we see the seascape through the seagulls. It’s a little play of what is in front and what is behind. It engages your eye and makes you think and analyse. The painting is currently exhibited at Wall to Wall…
Ruby Bay
This painting shows the view from my studio at Ruby Bay and was painted with the palette knife. The painting is currently on display at Wall to Wall Art Gallery, Nelson. Most of my little 6” x 8” paintings are done en plein air (painted outside). During the warmer season I like to go out to different locations and paint a little gem on the spot. Outside I usually paint in oil using the palette knife. The little paintings created…

Flight of the Seagulls
At the beginning of the year I visited the Nelson Harness Races to do research for a painting of the horses. However, I wasn’t only fascinated by the horses and people, but also by the seagulls. Although nobody cared about them, they were an important part of the scene. Their flying skills were amazing to watch and after many sketches and photos of them I immediately created this painting after the Nelson Harness Race painting. It’s not only the seagulls…
