This web gallery, best viewed on a computer screen, presents reproductions of some of my best artwork from many years of responding to the amazing natural world we all live in - showing fine art landscape drawings and paintings produced outside on-site ("en plein air") mainly from around Adelaide in South Australia, one Moreton Bay Fig tree project, life drawings, oil paintings, pastels, photography, philosophical writing, abstract art, computer (digital) art, and changing monthly displays. New displays of artwork are shown every month, so please come back regularly. |

Special notice: My wife, Marianne Vanderklugt, unexpectedly died on 2nd May 2024 Marianne was a warm, remarkable and wonderful person, and woman. She was a ‘real person’ with a genuine, honest, courageous, and intelligent personality. She was an excellent life partner to me, and her loss has changed just about everything for me. We had a very close bond with each other. She was highly intelligent, highly gifted, highly sensitive and she loved languages. She had amazing skills and understanding with learning and using many languages. She was an inspiring language teacher, who was highly qualified, highly experienced, but also seemed to have a natural gift for effective teaching. What a terrible loss! This has naturally been one of the most important events in my life, along with meeting Marianne and developing our relationship together. I feel extremely lucky to have met Marianne, and extremely lucky to have been able to develop such a good relationship with her, and enjoy the times together that we had. I am very grateful for the confidence that Marianne gave me to develop as a person, and for the encouragement she provided for me to do my drawing, painting, writing, and anything else that I thought was important. |
