Reason for this blog...

Hi everyone, I have created this blog because I'd like to post new works as I'm creating them. These paintings are of Kallista/Emerald Road in Victoria, Australia. It gets its name because it runs from Kallista to Emerald with a fair chunk of it running through "the Patch". It's a lovely road with lots of bends, making it a fun road to ride on and is therefore a favourite for cyclists. My idea is to stand in one spot and take a shot "up and down" the road, giving a view from one bend to the other.

This little painting I did a while ago. It is of my dog "Becky". The reason I have it here is that sadly, she is no longer with us. She died last week due to a tumor in her abdomen. We had very little warning and before we could come to terms with the inevitable outcome, she was gone.
We will miss her dearly as she was our friend. She would spend just as much time as I do in my studio. She would sleep on the floor next to my easel, catching the sun as it came in through the window. If you look at the photo of my studio at the bottom of the page, you can see her in the lower right of the pic.
She was one-in-a-million. We will always miss her.
