Original Oil Paintings

Hidden Cove on Hamilton Island is a little mangrovy beach that’s not easily accessible unless you’re staying in an apartment nearby. Looking out towards the mainland of Airlie Beach and Plum Pudding Island in the midground, this gorgeous little tree is exposed by the outgoing tide. It’s a beautiful spot for paddle in the evening and it’s where you can see some wallabies hopping about on the sand at low tide. We even saw a deer down there once and I swear we were not hallucinating. Hamilton Island was once a deer park -true story! The piece is painted on linen, with the sandy-coloured fabric providing a natural base for the sand.
The frame shown is illustrative only but very similar to the frame included.

This might be the first of many wave paintings. I appreciate the energy of waves, though I prefer to admire them from afar. Growing up in a town where a large sand island shielded the beach, the waves were gentle ripples, making paddling a safe and enjoyable activity. Now, as an adult, I have a healthy respect for the power of the surf. The green in the translucent part of the wave was particularly challenging to mix, so I made a special trip to the art store to find the perfect colour to capture its essence.

I thoroughly enjoyed painting this scene and am thrilled with the result. The piece is painted on linen, with the sandy-colored fabric providing a natural base for the sand. Some of the linen peeks through in the shallow water, adding texture. The large piece of driftwood depicted is a well-known icon of Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, frequently showcased on Instagram for its stunning beauty.

As a Queenslander through and through, I have an affinity with North Queensland the Whitsundays. I have dozens of photos of the Whitsundays I've taken myself but I was inspired by the composition of photo taken by Whitsunday Photography. I loved it so much I shot them a message on messenger and asked if I could paint it. So glad they said yes. I think this captures the tidal movement of the white sands of Whitehaven Beach beautifully.
The frame shown is illustrative only. The real frame is a floating frame in white.

This painting was enjoyable to make with the seagull teaching me that, in painting, white is never white (except when it is white). This seagull, let’s call her Shirley, has pink, purple, blue and yellow “whites”. No-one loves a reflection more than I do - the movement of the water makes it perfectly imperfect.

Beautifully presented in a Tasmanian Oak floating frame - this is the original painting in oils on canvas. It’s an imposing painting at 120cm x 90cm and would be a feature for any room of your home. You can almost feel the icy ocean breeze of the Tasmanian coast.
The reference for this painting was a photograph I took on one of our many holidays to Tasmania where we based ourselves near Swansea and ventured on day trips along the coast. This was a rainy, miserable day - bitterly cold. I was rugged up like a burrito, and drinking hot soup from a Thermos. The rainy day created a beautiful mist on the hills behind. In the distance from the rocky beach at Binalong Bay, I saw this outcrop of rocks - stacked and teetering. Later, when downloading the photos I zoomed in to this specific part of the scene. So inspiring as you muse how the rocks came to be like this.

I think anyone who has visited Tasmania has done the North East coastal stretch via the Bay of Fires Conservation area which is a stunning piece of coastline. A must-stop along the way is Binalong Bay where one of the most photographed trees in Australia once stood. Sadly, some high winds have since snapped it off. The photo reference I used was from 2019, it looked a bit more raggedy in subsequent visits, then … no more. But now, here it is, frozen in time, captured in oils on linen. The foreground rocks took a very long time to paint, taking four layers to bring them to life - or I guess capture their stillness. A labour of love.

Beautifully presented in a Tasmanian Oak floating frame - this is the original painting in oils on canvas. It’s a big painting at 120cm x 90cm and brings a sense of calm and tranquillity to any room.
You’re not going mad, there’s no actual garden in the painting. The name refers to an area in the Bay of Fires Conservation area called The Gardens. An cold but clear afternoon spent rambling over rocks, finding little beaches like this one. The water is so calm, all you can hear is the gentle lapping on the white sand. It’s one of those places that you feel like you’re the first to discover, but then are disappointed when your climb over some rocks and see other people enjoying the same unexpected joys as you are. I have no idea how I made that foreground rock look like you could reach out and touch it. I’m sure I couldn’t do it again if I tried. My favourite part of this painting is the reflection of the rectangular rock in the water, which is the epitome of tranquillity.

This painting captures the chill vibes of Hamilton Island. A cockatoo flies over the stunning blue waters of Catseye Beach, which look almost too good to be true. In the distance, you can spot a few catamarans rented from the beach hut, adding a touch of realism. The nearby and distant islands create a perfect backdrop, making this scene feel like a slice of paradise. Having visited Hamilton Island countless times, my love for this happy place is in every brushstroke.
