Here's something I've been working on. #neutrals #stilllife #limitedpalette #colourtheory #oilpainting #colourharmony #melbourneart #melbourneartist #australianart

Here's a complementary colour experiment in orange and blue 🧡💙 after Vermeer. Of course, there is no way to get a full spectrum with such limitations. Nevertheless, I find it fascinating to attempt to recreate the relationship of colours and values in this way. Happy Monday!

Here’s one from last year. 🧄 I made this to comfort myself as I was discouraged by the state of world. Little did I know… It was done with Amy Weiskopf beautiful paintings in mind. Look up her work! She doesn’t have an account here. A wise woman.

Sunday afternoon complementary colour charts. I look forward to start making compositions with these! #colourtheory #complementarycolours #oilpainting

Red still life, oil on panel, 45 x 45 cm. The question here was "what if I made a painting with only reds and white without making it look monochromatic?" #red #stilllife #limitedpalette #colourtheory #stilllifeoilpainting #colourharmony #melbourneart #melbourneartist #australianart

Here’s another pear painting. Getting back into colour experiments by using a colour triad I’m less familiar with, WN Indian yellow, Rembrandt Madder brown and OH Delft blue and white. It creates a warm harmony to which I added a little cadmium lemon at the end to aid the chroma on the ribbon.

Red, yellow, blue ❤️💛💙 Oil on linen, 36 x 46 cm #stilllife #oilpainting #lemon #colourharmony #colourdesign #melbourneart #contemporaryart #australianart #canadianartist

Watching in horror at the rise of a fascist dictatorship in the US, undermining democracy within, threatening its allies abroad and holding the world hostage. In the mean time, Australia sends superfunds to the US on an appeasement mission. Utterly disgusted #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

My latest: The democratic world will have to get along without America. It may even have to defend itself from it

Here’s a painting. Trying to stay sane in this mad, mad world. #oilpainting #stilllifepainting #classicalcontemporarypainting #melbourneart #australianart
