pond - new abstract landscape

"Pond" abstract landscape painting on canvas
"Pond" abstract landscape painting on canvas

Inspired by the beautiful Lake Hawea, which is just 5 min walk from home, I am currently painting a group of abstract landscapes in a range pretty blues. The blue colours filling my studio at the moment are a wonderfully refreshing contrast to the heat outside.

What about the lines?
They represent bridges, the connections between places, travel and journeys. As a South African born New Zealander who currently spends 6 months a year in Europe, journeys (both physical and spiritual) are an ongoing theme of mine.

summer flowers & an old fence post

16 June 2026

There's something irresistibly paintable about a weathered fence post half-swallowed by summer wildflowers. It's the contrast that does it — rough, sun-bleached wood against the soft, fleeting delic...
