Title or Location: Self Portrait
While I have primarily been a landscape artist I recently felt I needed a bit of a change and challenge. I have been recovering from a cancer battle and just wanted to do something different so I decided to do a series of portraits of famous literary detectives (I.e. Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe, etc.) and since I had done almost no portrait work it provided the challenge I was seeking. After starting to get the hang of it I decided to do a self portrait, which is what you see here. I wanted t

Title or Location: Magua
24x30, acrylic on wood w florescent and glow in the dark paint. Panel is distressed including termite holes. Wes Studio plays Magua in Last of the Mohegans. I wanted to incorporate an antiquated look to an old story. I've always loved this image of a first nation warrior, so proud, strong, and dangerous. My 3 phase technique using florescent and glow in the dark paint gives the viewer 3 different looks with the help of a black light. And when you turn off the lights he's still there in the dark

Title or Location: Steam power.
This started off as an exercise in painting clouds on a stormy day. As the work developed my clouds looked increasingly like billowing steam so I thought I'd add a traction engine to the swirling steam. It's in acrylic on a 58 x 38cm acrylic board which is a good size to hone in on small details. I don't think there are many purple traction engines around but it seemed like a good idea at the time!

Title or Location: Slim
Slim Dusty has always been my most asked for Australian icon, and in fact I drew my first portrait of him for my first ever solo exhibition, Aussie Legends, in 2016, because if anyone epitomises all the best of Australia it?s Slim!

Title or Location: Coal Drop
Living in the city of Philadelphia, I am constantly inspired by the beauty and dignity of old, no longer needed structures from the last two centuries. They appear to me almost as dinosaurs from the ancient past that need to be preserved on canvas before they disappear. This particular beast sits on the Delaware River, just beside the former Philadelphia Electric Company site. The whole place is being renovated (thankfully not torn down), so I wanted to make sure I captured it before it gets a f
