Kylie
As you can see, I have now changed my gallery page to include only my own paintings. Since I no longer live in Logan City I thought it more appropriate if I concentrated on my own work, which includes paintings, decorated eggs and any other of my varied hobbies. I hope you like my gallery. I will change the pictures on a regular basis as time permits.

Paula Luther in Costume - Oils
Painted 3rd March 1985
Paula was ready to go on stage to strut her stuff when I painted her in this Oriental Costume. She had as much makeup on her face as I used to paint her portrait.

Teena in costume - Oils
I was commissioned to paint this budding young ballerina in September 1996. I often wonder if Teena continued with her dancing. At that time I was president of the Logan Creativity Centre, which took up most of my time, so preventing me from following her career.

Rodney Etheridge - Oils
Rodney was my nephew. He met a tragic death by electrocution when still in his teens

Vanessa - Oils
Vanessa was a cute little girl whose mother was a member our group at Mayes Cottage at the time I was president.
The reason for the Clown getup, was that we dressed her up to sell balloons at one of our fun days.
I painted her portrait as a gift for her services.

Sheree - Oils
1991.
I painted this portrait on December 1985.
Sheree is my Granddaughter and I think she was about 4 or 5 years old at the time.

Miss Cronk - Pastels
Pastels in the best medium I know for portrait work
It is my favorite medium as a rule, but for portraits it stands out above the rest.
I painted this beautiful daughter of my dental prosthesist as a favour to her doting father.

Pope John Paul - Pastels
Although I am not a catholic, or any religion for that matter. This does not stop me from painting a good subject when I see it. I could not get a private sitting, so I had to settle for taking a photo and painting from there.

Sherry Garner - Pastels
This is another commission by a doting father.
Sherry was a excelent subject for my favourite mediun (pastels), and goes to prove what I said earlier about pastels being the best medium for portrait painting.
I painted this in May 1987.

Chrisie's Mother - Pastels
This one was painted for a friend whose mother was dead, she only had a small old black and white photo for me to work from.
The likeness and colouring was perfect according to Chrisie.
One of the many problems that portrait artists ofter come across.

Judy's Mother - Pastels
Another colouring job similar to the one above only a bit more dificult, the photo was much older and in worse condition.
However, the client was very happy with the results and that is what matters.
