new works - circular line work



I have been thinking for a while I need to work on my own unique design work, I love playing with lines and patterns and was really pleased with the last 2 circular works I completed, just entered today into a competition. 
These 3 works in progress, are all NZ Botanicals. The first is Pohutakawa Focus(NZ Christmas Tree), The second one is Kahikatea Forest, the last is Nikau stand(NZs only palm tree) . Enjoy

Mapua outdoor painting


Here is the finished painting featured on John Burland's blog http://mainzdailyphoto.blogspot.com/

I left out the wharf in the end. I may do another with it included.
this one is little, 12 x 22 cm on board.

Mapua wharf


The larger of the 2 paintings, painted plein air - (from life).
this canvas is highly textured, which gained many comments from viewers who liked the effect.
A painting containing people, rare for me. :)
this one is 30 x 23 cm approx.
Acrylic
my palette(colours I use) is completely different if I am painting outdoors like this... interesting

This is my most requested image. There will be a charge for the use of this artwork image. It is frequently requested including for web articles, books, TV production amongst others.

It has stunned many viewers with it’s realistic portrayal of Migraine Aura of this typical type. I may do some further art related to the aura I experienced, including some fractal images that remind me of the jagged, disjointed feeling migraine evokes.

Please contact me via email for use of this image ... I will be pleased to arrange for a large resolution image to be sent via email under the above condition..

SOLD - acrylic knife painting



THis is "Black Wave", where the waves really did appear black, the sand was not black either... it was after a huge storm, I have not seen it like this either before or since, despite 20 years living at this place... I loved the challenge of the gorgeous shine and reflection too...
