Pearls are symbolic of wisdom gained through experience. The gems are believed to offer protection, as well as attract good luck and wealth. They are well-known for their calming effects. Pearls have a way of bringing balance to your karma.

This is one of my latest pieces, continuing my ocean, reef them.

Paua – Painting finished & Sold

I have just completed this Paua (abalone) painting. Capturing those shells is very challenging, I have painted Paua once before and it took a whole day to get it right. And you have to get it right, it’s a very unforgiving subject. 😎 The light, the colours, the blending… a test of my patience & determination 😆 I

Overall, ’m loving those colours too, warm goldy greens, teals, turquoises, lime & blues.

Found it’s new home in Singapore with a regular collector of my art.

On a roll! continuing my love affair with Ocean / Reef/ Sea themes. I have 2 more completed & sold in the last 3 weeks. Revisiting this ‘older’ style (last time I painted like this was 2017 for the huge commercial stairwell installation ) has been so refreshing. Painting with new perspective, fresh eyes, and a deeper love for my process & my creative journey. Patience & discernment are my biggest learning curves over the last few years, just because my inspo, concept & flow is at a hundred miles an hour, does not mean my process has to be as well. Taking my time with deep consideration.

More on the Paua piece in another dedicated post soon.

Both these pieces have sold. 🙂

Stabicraft approached me a few weeks ago, and asked if they could use my artwork , ‘Seabed’, to wrap one of their boats for the NZ Boatshow. This is the result doesn’t it look amazing! The boat sold within half an hour of the show opening, the new owners loved the art!
West Coast Boat Wraps did an amazing job!

This month has been soooo busy, and we are only 2/3 of the way through.
Well, my shades of white series has morphed into a combo of lots of different styles,

Im revisiting the old, the VERY old, the just last year and the new with technique, style & how I am painting at the moment.
Also, quietly noticing how bored I am becoming with my creations, no sooner have I started a piece, i am over it…..

….Its not that I dislike it, quite the opposite in fact, I love it, but my rate of ideas, and creative output is too fast for my time allowance and physical speed of painting. No sooner have i come up with an idea, its not even born and im onto another, lol, not sure this is a good thing, but im just going with it for now, not giving it too much attention. 😉

So, first up is a series of 10″ x 10″ i did, this is a selection of them

these proved very popular and 3 were sold before they were finished.

I also finished these 2 below, top one has sold:

This one had taken me a while, I started it in early May, unusually taking a long time on it, not sure why, but I am really pleased with how it turned it, and it sold about 15 mins after being posted up online:
