We all dream.   Dreams can be reflections of things happening around us, a miscellaneous jumble of feelings or even portents of the future.  Good, bad or indifferent, realistic, logical or fantastical. Often quickly forgotten, dreams are a part of our lives and like this artwork, can be interpreted in many way.  I hope you can enjoy this painting and reflect on the nature of your own dreams.

Dreamscapes

Emergence is another jungle based artwork based on the view from my study window.  This painting still has the same expressive and energetic brushstrokes of other works but in this case  the jungle is clearing and blue sky can be seen above.  The sense is one of emerging and finally seeing some clear sky ahead.

Temporal Perspectivism is a research area in the fields of anthropology and archaeology that I found quite intriguing and after reading some academic papers on the subject I am still not sure exactly what it means. It seems to refer to the idea that different historical periods have different ways of understanding and interpreting the world. It also implies that there is no single objective truth but rather multiple perspectives that depend on the context and the time. My artwork depicts vague, fuzzy edges and colours indicating the uncertain nature of what we discover and the view that, given our interpretation is based on our own current view of the world, we cannot know for certain how past time periods were viewed by the people living through them. An analogy could be that we cannot fully understand or judge others unless we live their lives.

Jewelled Seas is another one of my series inspired by Dorothea Mackellar' poem My Country.   The brilliant jewelled colours of the waters are bright and vibrant like a handful of colourful gemstones with touches of red, yellow and orange to suggest coral reefs.  You are invited to immerse yourself in this colourful painting and the beauty and mystery of the ocean with its changing moods and emotions.

This artwork is unframed by comes with d-rings and wire ready to hang.   A Certificate of Authenticity is also included and it will also be registered on the National Registry of Australian Art and Artists.
