    Reflecting on Mangawhai

    Hydrangeas with their pretty faces opening to the sun. Oil on Canvas 900mm x 600mm   The graduation of cool colours of the hydrangeas in the shade up to the warm sun-kissed pinks and whites certainly gives this painting depth and draws the eye upwards through the composition.

    Sky City Inky Night

    Catching Your Breath
    Oil on Canvas760 x 760mm I was thinking of the bible verse "Be still and know that I am God", when I painted this picture. The figure is looking contemplatively out over Ruakaka Beach. There is nowhere better to gather your thoughts than when surrounded by nature.

    Personality plus Pansies
    Alcohol ink and gold pen on canvas Size: 500 x 400mm   A brighter, happier painting would be hard to come by. The swirling nature of the ink and the vivid colours lent itself to picking out bouncy little pansy flowers all over the canvas.
