At last we are ready to go. Tomorrow, Saturday 30th April, will see the opening of our private Studio / Gallery here at 26 Thynne Court, Maleny.  We open with an exhibition which will run until Sunday 8th May, open daily from 10am to 5pm.  After 8th May, our hours will be flexible. We are quite happy for anyone to visit, but we ask you to call first to make sure we are here.

The gallery is quite small, and my intention is to have a continuing changing exhibition of my paintings and sculptures. We are hoping that when you plan a trip to Maleny or Montville, you might consider dropping in here to see what currently I have on exhibition. 

Everyone is most welcome.

I have just finished this commission for a long standing client in Hong Kong. "Surf Boy" 92 x 92 cm. I am very happy with the result, and fortunately he is too.

I will only take on commissions if I really want to paint the subject. These paintings are always a bit more difficult than my usual work, probably because at the outset I know there is someone with a pre-conceived idea of the outcome. I have never had a commission rejected, and when the client is happy the whole process is very satisfying. At the moment I also have another two nearing completion.

Our gallery in Maleny is almost ready. I have been using the old stable building on the original Thynne property as a studio for the last year. At the end of the path in the picture. It will still be my studio, but part is almost ready as a small private gallery. We plan to open on Saturday 30 April, with an official function on Sunday 1st May. ​We will be sending out invitations shortly.

I am currently finishing off new Italian paintings for this show. Our trip back to Italy at Christmas, and another organised for later this May, has convinced me that my Italian subjects need to be continued.

We are still asking anyone on our old mailing list who has not re-subscribed to the new list on the website to please consider doing it. MAILING LIST  That way we can more easily inform you of current happenings.

This month we have a lovely article in the Profile Magazine. Thank you Profile.http://profilemag.com.au/articles/culture/
