July

This body of work, collection of work, is basically 35 pieces, in diameter, and come from drawn-out sessions during later Covid, during just last year. Covid isn’t ended, but my works were created anyway, and I have varied the medias used, for example, you will see silk paintings here, and digital art, and the usual oil paintings on board, with Botanical Flowers, every-day portraits, looking closely at color, linework, ambience and my semi-delicate works here on Habotai silk, paper and canvas board, with inks and oil and the Procreate program on my Pad and Apple Pencil.

The digital art is shown here with a number of staff and client portraiture, from Wayside Bondi, and Procreate was used for these, but not artifical intelligence. My handwork is on the portraiture drawings, and the artistic decision-making, also, the oil paintings, about 12 figurative paintings, basically figurative women, hopefully, not over-commercialized women, an old theme of mine was once commercialisations of Women, magazine women, cosmetic and aesthetic images, of women. Some time ago, I had an exhibition of such works.

Most of the works here are for sale, unless otherwise stated, the price listing and room sheets are available, and names, prices and works included, all works are furtherly negotiable and modestly priced, the works listed are all from my recent collection of works, called “New Works” and all created during 2024 and 2025.

I have 12 years of art study behind me at NAS Art School, at St George Tafe and Sydney University, and this is my fourth exhibition at the TAP Art Gallery. I have had three here before: “Down and out and other Disprivileged“, ”On the Curve of Her Psyche”, and “QLD and Other images,” in the past five years. I have had experience in other Galleries, but the TAP Art Gallery Is famiiar to me now, as well.

I live in Bondi, where I have lived for thirty five years, as a local, and work studiously in my converted Studio, I could do more work but I spend a lot of my time musing, so that is what happens, with me, on my own, and I try to pull myself into Reality and work (because when will it be recognized as real work?

I would ike to thank Rosie and Lesley and Jacqui for all and any assistence with this exhibition. And I would like to tell everyone, that art is achievable for evrone, if not to do, then to watch as an audience. It’s there for everyone. .
