Art work for Hunter Valley Brumby Association



Pelican no. 1

10" x 14" pastel



Emu 1

10" x 14" pastel

The horse I learnt ride on when I was a child was  a brumby that my grandfather caught in the mountains and trained from a wild mob on the far south coast of NSW Australia.. Whisky as he was called will always have a special place in my heart..


I have donated the following pieces to HVBA to raise money for the great work they do in saving and re-homing these Australian icons in the Hunter Valley of NSW.

If you would like to purchase either Emu 1 and Pelican 1 please contact  Hunter Valley Brumby Association  http://www.hvba.com.au/  directly for a price on this work. 

100% of the sale price will be going directly to this rescue.

Outback Spirit

Outback Spirit

I thought I would try something a little different from the usual pen and wash paintings that I create from time to time.  Deciding to see what would happen if I added a multi coloured wash behind the images... very happy with the result and will definately be creating a few more of these.

If you have any images that you think would make a great pen and wash in a similar fashion please feel free to email your images to me ... there is no obligation to purchase the finished painting.
