TROPICAL DREAMS

I dream tropical dreams. I dream them all year round!

 Don’t you just love to swim free in the ocean, sit in the warm sun, see lush green plants all around, and have the freedom to be outside all day, or all night. I do! I guess that’s why I like to paint tropical paintings.

Because Summer is a happy place, and because I'm a colorist I look for ways to express all of that colour inside of me. Sounds kind of like I’m about to read your fortune doesn’t it! But I think you know what I mean. A lot of people express their mood with colour when they get dressed every day.  Who doesn't love to see bright beautiful people expressing their colourful personalities. I do!

Personally I’m what’s known as a penguin. I only wear black and white, or if you are lucky cream, navy, or red. I like to sit in white rooms too. I like to express all my colors, all the colors that I feel inside on the canvas or with a brush, pencil, or any way that is creative.

This new body of work is inspired by a summer paradise, and all of it’s beautiful creatures.

When I went to Birdsville I was actually looking for Love Birds, but when I got to the store there wasn’t much in the way of Love Birds. There were 2, and one was already taken, and I wasn’t really down with the idea of taking one lonely Love Bird. So I took the 2 rowdy and brilliantly colored budgies instead.

As soon as I got them home I started drawing them, on the swing, nesting, fighting, playing, sitting sweetly side by side, and individually. They made excellent subjects.

After drawing them, I wanted to express just how colorful, and fun budgies can be, so I got my collage on and had fun making these quirky bird collages. Made from Vinyl, acrylic paint, oil paint and marker pen, they are perfect to add a punchy and playful pop in your living room, bedroom, or kids room. They look great in sets of 2 or more!

There’s a just a few of these left so I’m offering a special price for the last few. Framed in a fresh white frame 30cm x 30cm these gorgeous artworks originally $365 are now $250 for 3 days only.
