Fishing with the Old FJ

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 with the Old FJ 45cm x 60cm Oil on Belgian linen Sold

An Bush Smithy

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

robert — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 23:49:16 +0000

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.

This painting depicts two prospectors panning for gold on the Bendigo goldfields, Victoria, Australia. I completed it earlier this year and have sold it to an art dealer for resale.

Stockmen’s Rest

Two stockmen take a break for a cup of billy tea and to give their horses and cattledog a well earned rest. The landscape is typical of cattle country in the Australian Outback.

Its been some time since I posted anything. For several months I have been working on my property, The Castle on the Hill, finishing things off. Its good to be able to pick up paint brushes again.
