Olive Harvest

I did this painting after picking olives one year with friends at a local grove at Darlington in the Scenic Rim. I have had a bit of fun with a few references to how famous artists have depicted harvests .. there is a little group that is straight out of a book on Van Gogh for example , but mostly it is from memory. This is the same grove that hosts the Art in the Olives Festival in May.

Painting is over a metre long and about 90cm high , framed in home grown red cedar from the property. Oil on Belgian linen. (Very sturdy home made stretcher) Price $1500...

I have finally joined the ranks of artists on the web...with great reluctance as I'm only too aware that the computerised image of an edited photo of a painting is a poor thing compared to the real painting.

These are just some of the many paintings I have at home. However I do want to sell them occasionally. I am interested in expressions of interest in my work from galleries or private buyers. I work from drawings and small on the spot paintings in watercolour.
