]]> SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW is a double portrait I created from a favourite old photo which captured the happy days of young love and good times. I added a rainbow backdrop – because the lady loves rainbows – and a frisson of reflective gold and spectrum sparkle in metallic acrylic paint. It was given as a surprise on her birthday as a gift from husband to wife.

I commissioned a painting from Pascale at the start of 2021 for my wife’s birthday. Communication and quoting process was exemplary. Pascale took inspiration from an old photo we loved and added a personal style that really complimented it well. My wife absolutely loved it, it literally brought tears to her eyes. Thanks for the amazing piece, it will be something we treasure for many years to come!

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE is a double portrait of big sister, Bella, aged 3 and a half, and little brother, Alexander, aged 16 months. Bella is shy, creative, clever and loving and Alexander is determined, cheeky and loves to giggle.

Their special bond is captured in a moment of sibling love set among English pleasant pastures green. It reminds us of the joy that children bring despite the stresses of everyday life. Here, the pampas grass waves in the breeze, the lawn is lush and soft underfoot and the sun shines brightly over the trees and hills.

The portrait is a gift across the miles as a token of a special Australian-English friendship.

Sand Dunes and Salty Air is a commission inspired by happy days at the beach where the Australian skies are deep blue, the water is turquoise clear and the sand dunes are covered in rainbow-coloured coastal flowers.

The triple portrait is of big brother, Isaac, the noisy leader, who is kind hearted, caring and sensitive. He loves the colour blue, dinosaurs, space, bikes and drills. Benjamin, little brother and older twin by two minutes, is cheeky, cuddly and has a winning smile. He loves the colour green, diggers and scooters. Abigail, little sister and younger twin, is feisty, independent and affectionate. She loves the colour purple, choosing her own clothes to wear, cuddles and unicorns.

The original painting was a surprise 40th birthday present for Daddy.

An archival giclee print of the original was a 60th birthday present for Teta (grandmother).
