Fishing with the Old FJ

January 7th, 2009

Like so many other Aussie men I am infatuated with old Holdens, so I really enjoyed painting this fishing scene. The setting is somewhere on the Murray River in South Australia. I sell paintings like this for around $1,800.00. This particular painting has been sold to a private buyer, but I am happy to take commissions.fishing-fjsm.jpgFishing with the Old FJ     45cm x 60cm    Oil on Belgian linen    Sold

An Bush Smithy

May 24th, 2008

I put this painting on eBay several weeks ago, and several people emailed with their compliments on the painting. It seemed to strike a chord. Anyway, it sold for AUS$3,250.00, which is my highest price for a work of this size to date. Needless to say, I was very pleased with this result.

Blue Camaro at Speed on Tweed

October 22nd, 2007

This painting was done as a comission. The car is a beautiful blue Camaro and is depicted coming round the bend from the start line. I used it in an ad, which I placed in Leaded magazine. Hopefully, I’ll receive some more commissions. The one I’m working on at the moment is a large painting of one of Jack Brabham’s cars - and its looking good. I will post it here when its finished - maybe in about a week.
