Beauty In Landscapes
Painting is among my greatest joys.
Over the past four decades, I’ve been captivated by Australian landscapes, especially those close to my home in South Australia. The Flinders Ranges, Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island are constant sources of inspiration, along with the Adelaide foothills around Brownhill Creek.
I see my artistic endeavours and winemaking as two forms of creative expression; both are guided by the natural world and seek to capture and share beauty.

The Cazneaux tree – $900.00
Oil on canvas 40cm x 30cm
Harold Cazneaux photographed this tree in the 1930’s It looked the same then as now. He titled his photo “Spirit of Endurance” and how apt, 90 years on to see this grand tree still commanding part of Wilpena Creek. The unmistakable shapes of Wilpena Pound stand majestically in the background. This painting is a homage the Harold and his historic photo.
