PAINTINGS AND GICLEE PRINTS This painting Balloon Wedding is one of my favorite artworks and is available as a Giclee print these days. Often bought as a wedding present which brings me very neatly to the wedding we attended on the weekend and also to the topic of opposites attract.  I love painting wedding scenes […]

THE ART OF RENOVATING You know it is really strange to be living without a roof over your head for a while, you see, we are renovating, putting another story on our house and to be able to achieve that the old roof had to go. So we have had live-in workmen here for the […]

THE ART OF THE SMORGASBORD This story really starts here in this art blog 62. Christmas Again & Art !!!! where we have been doing some mad dancing and other festivities.   After all these goings on we have a little drink and a break before the massive Smorgasbord eating session begins which has been prepared […]

CHRISTMAS & ART Christmas is here again, comes around at break neck speed these days, but still warmly welcomed by me and my family, we love Christmas time.  This year will be a little better than last year as we will be all together again,  our son is back from his European adventures.  When we […]

ART OF NEIGHBORS So here we are, living in the ‘Burbs’, remarkably it is not as difficult a situation as I thought to get used to, although I do miss having my art studio detached from the house. One of the things I was most worried about was to have neighbors. When you have been living […]

ARTIST INSPIRATIONS Wow what a week, I guess I better start to get used to this with Christmas coming up and all the extra functions and shopping and socializing that leads too.

ARTISTIC WEDDINGS There are weddings and then there are good weddings and I went to one of the Great ones just recently, and no not conducted by a magpie like in my naive painting here!   Now I may be biased as this was my darling nephew (who is just the coolest guitar playing guy […]

ART OF PAINTING SMILES I must be very fascinated by teeth I think, as I always paint the big broad grins in all my paintings and sculptures, or is it that I want the whole world to be happy and gay the Laxit way! (to borrow from an old Australian commercial) As you can see […]

ARTISTIC INSPIRATION This Artwork is called “Shop till you drop” but it should probably be named according to how we felt at the time lol but that would have to include some not so lady like words – you see if you look closely in the orange car on the left you will see us. […]

PAINTING INSPIRATION We first started going to the sky show when our son was about 10 months old in 1988 and that is the inspiration for this naive art painting. The Sky show was held as an annual event and started in the middle 80’s to celebrate Australia Day with an amazing fireworks display synchronized […]
