I miss you angle

The fascination with angles, and geometric shapes has been abundant, and a fixation of sorts since art school and a subject I periodically walk away from, then back to  like a co-dependant relationship, but a nice one.  I like the tactile aspect of canvas and paint, and the infinite potential of shape.  With painting I'm really more abstract, and structure, form and texture play a big part. Here's a couple of oldies.  I am hanging out to do some larger scale painting soon hopefully.

Goodbye Winter. Hello Spring!

The scent of jasmine fills the air. Frangipani buds begin to swell on dry twiggy stems. Mozzies and midges descend at twilight to feast upon tasty bared skin. And parents of small children sigh with resignation as they are woken earlier and earlier each day. Yes folks, it can only mean one thing. Soon the streets will be lined with a purple carpet of jacaranda petals and kookaburras will be waking us up at 4.30am. Welcome to Springtime in Brisbane, where Winter has already been well and truly elbowed aside by the sprightly season of frivolity.

Of course, nothing says Spring like flowers and butterflies - so harness your inner Wordsworth and enjoy a frolic through this gorgeous garden of Springtime goodies :)
