Getting down to the nitty gritty
Yes, it's another nocturne but this time with a gritty industrial feel. My photographer friend Sean and I went for a stroll along the...


Making more tranquility
I've always loved places where little else other than sheep tend to go. This scene is a compilation of references from two places I...


Catching those last rays
Some more experimentation with carborundum. I had an idea of where I was going with this but largely responded to how things were turning...


Another nocturne
Street lighting and old architecture are a winning combination for me. One of the advantages of having to drop and pick up my daughter...


More pier pleasure!
I couldn't resist adding this scene to my Pier Pleasure series. Three generations 'hooked' on fishing!


Deep in the Bush
This monotype won a commendation in the Ewart Art Prize 2023 - yeah! I used a few new mark-making techniques on this work e.g. a piece of...


Eating out in Paddington
The Thai restaurant on Glenmore Street may be in need of a lick or two of paint but it exudes character. I used drypoint engraving for...

Last Stand
My new home-made light box has proved its worth! I now have more room to work and to do larger prints. The scene is based on a photograph...


Keeping an Ear Out
I love it when, as if by magic, tree shadows turn cattle into beautiful silhouettes. After several unsuccessful attempts, four cows were...


Printing 'on the road'
My recent holiday challenge was to do some printing without my usual paraphernalia. I was quite pleased with the results. Keeping it...


Location, location, location!
It's hard to beat the natural beauty of New Zealand. I gave this panorama near Whangarei three goes but still didn't manage to do it...


Night visions
I love the dramatic lighting of nocturnal city scapes with muted colour and street lamps producing strong contrasts. These constraints...


Lily Pond
I don't often frequent glasshouses but the ponds in them are often full of luscious, sculpturally-shaped plants. The two glasshouses in...
