February already!!

Hi Evereyone;

I've been up in Darwin recently, revisiting old stomping grounds. Still love it up there: the colours, the heat, the storms, the wildlife etc. But the human population is swelling too much for my likes; even got stuck in Rush Hour traffic!... never used to be. Anyhow, back to "work" and here is my latest surfboard and a thought that came from I don't know where. Have a great day, Brian.

January update

recently painted surfboard with the owner's buggy painted to order

this little skimboard was black, so I painted a beautiful moonlight sceneto go with the black background.

Available for sale at Eumundi Markets on Saturday (except for Sat Jan 14th; I will be in Darwin)

This impressionist style work was painted in situ next to my friend Stan's lovely lillypond.

I will shortly be going to Darwin for ten days to play in "The Wet"

transmission will resume after Jan 20th! Cheers all.

Still working one- handed with most things; shoulder rehab is slow and tedious, but going according to plan (according to the physiotherapist) This little painting done completely left handed; Lady on a Bridge- you may recognise the scene from a Pride and Prejudice movie?

SPECIAL NOTE: if SARAH HALL happens to read this before Xmas, please contact me, as I cannot reply to your email...Cheers, Brian

Shoulder Surgery repair; work left-handed

The above painting was done completely left-handed by me. My usual right hand is not yet useable. Painted in oil 1000x750mm. Photo of me second week after surgery. (operation was on Nov 4)

The Latest; November 3 2011

Here are my most recent painted surfboards. I will be having shoulder surgery on Friday Nov 4, to repair wear and tear, and hopefully I will be back painting in 6 to 8 weeks? See you at the Eumundi Markets: I'll be the one with the arm in a sling..Cheers for now, Brian

A recent painting of my daughter Ella with an imaginary friend. My painting production has slowed recently as I am waiting for surgery on my shoulders and they do not like working for long sessions. However I am still ticking along quietly.
