Ordinary lives, ordinary things, familiar places - the stuff of life - the cycles, the interconectedness of life on this planet, is the philosophy behind what I try to recreate in my artwork; be they drawings, paintings or other works.

Little Boy Blue - September 2019

~ Veiled in clouds, connecting the heavens with the earth. ~

 Henry David Thoreau

'Little Boy Blue' (Where is the boy who looks after the sheep...He's under the ground fast asleep'). 
Oil on Approx A3 canvas. 

A portrait of a little boy who died a long time ago. Always sad when a child leaves this world, especially when you don't get to say goodbye. Beautiful boy, beautiful memory.

I had the format for this work in my head for some time, knew exactly how it would look, though the details are different, I wanted it broken up into 3 horizontal plains, the grave in the centre, the face at the bottom, the trees and sky at back, the flower branch that came from the cemetary on the grave. How those particular things looked like in the end, I couldn't tell until I was working on it. I'm happy wirth the end result. 
Anyone wanting a portrait or landscape, just ask for terms and conditions, sizes etc- message me @ Bee Garden Artist.

Together through Life - August 2019

~ Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live ~ 

Henry david Thoreau

Together Through Life, 25/08/19. 

Oil on Approx A4 canvas paper. 
Sarah and Bob Dylan on a new version of 'The Free Wheelin' Bob Dylan' cover if they'd stayed together into their 80's. No, it's not - it's a not so free wheelin' couple in their 80's, walking together down a street in Cairns. They look such a cool pair, yet I wanted to capture a little of the fragility and the care shown between them too, arm in arm - They probably would never have done that once.
