Painting small studies is something I can lose myself in. Playing around with colour, shapes and texture on a small scale is somehow freeing. I usually spend a bit of time with studies to investigate the interaction between elements, composition and overall feel, before committing to painting the piece on a larger scale. These are all unique, original paintings by me, generally painted with acrylics (sometimes mixed media) on offcut archival watercolour paper or canvas.

There are also larger available works listed, currently hanging at Valli Wealth in Ballina, NSW, and Lennox Arts Collective Gallery in Lennox Head, NSW.

The whole time I was painting this picture, I was basking in the afterglow of one of the most fun surf sessions I’ve ever had. Just around the corner from here was a perfect wave, glassy warm water and a couple of close friends. Bliss.
