Meteor Jet 1952

"Gloster Meteor Jet" 2008 Oil on linen on board, 12.8x15.2cm (5"x6")
SOLD

For as long as I can remember this aircraft has been parked at Parafield Airport, I drove past it nearly every day for the past three years as it was next to where I was working. It always looked great parked on the tarmac and often admired it whilst waiting for the traffic to clear. The warbird is a 1952 Gloster Meteor F8 and is much loved and cared for by the Classic Jet Fighter Museum.

The Bunny

This is a work in progress, I don't normally put up paintings at this stage but I liked the way its looking so much I thought I'd share the process with you. I'll finish the little naughty bunny in the next couple of days and post the finish work up for you to see.



Here is the finished mischievous Bunny painting, I always picture him running about the studio up to no good, teasing the fish, making a mess and eating too many carrots and leaving them on the floor for me to trip over.

Empire Doll

"HMAS Canberra Souvenir", 2008, Oil on linen on board, 14.6 x 14.6cm (5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches)
SOLD

Commissioned in July 1928, HMAS Canberra was an Australian warship, it would have docked at various ports and souvenirs like this doll would have been handed out to mark the auspicious occasion. CANBERRA operated with the naval force supporting the American landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi in World War II, unfortunately, the ship was struck by two torpedoes, the wounded and survivors were transferred to USS PATTERSON and USS BLUE and the ship sank on the 9th August 1942. I would say the doll dates back near the original launch of the ship in 1928.
