ALL THE PRETTY SHIPS CAME IN

surreal ships in a calm blue ocean
There are varying accounts of how astonished Australians were when the first European ships arrived. Were these strange things huge seabirds, or floating islands with possum-like creatures running up and down the trees? How did they move, with nobody pushing? Did they walk along the bottom, or paddle like swans?

FOUR HORSEPERSONS OF THE SHOPPING MALL

four over-dressed comic women flying through the air on demonic carousel horses
"...And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and her name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with swung Yves St. Laurent handbags, and with PaleoDiet, and boring us all with pronouncements of deathly vapidity,..."

HIDDEN FALLS

waterfall in the shape of yellow blossoms with transparent thylacine drinking from pool
Hidden Falls is on the east coast of Tasmania. They aren't huge or particularly spectacular, but the rocks are nice and there is an air of mystery about them. So I added some ghostly figures, appropriate to the name

OFF TO EXPLOIT THE ANTIPODES

surreal figures floating in space around a threatening golden pirate ship
This is about the energy and excitement of the British as they went about colonising other people's places in the nineteenth century. It's rather a pretty picture with some dark undertones. And just like the British enthusiastically purchasing exotic imports, you can have your very own copy of it!

PICKING DAISIES

dark blue painting with colourful transparent trees, figure picking petals from a flower
They love me - they love me not. A romantic midnight idyll

PINK FLOWERS

surreal forest in vivid colours
This is one of many paintings celebrating the intersection between flora and fauna. I like buds opening on winter branches, green moss cushioning a delicate bone, the patterns of weathered rocks, networks of lichen lace draped over naked twigs; all these natural shapes become a fantasy landscape, lush in colour, an improbable biology of anthropomorphic beasts and peripatetic vegetation.

THE WILD WOODS

complicated arrangement of trees and figures in bright colours
Tasmania is noted for its forests. This is a joyful depiction of what you may, or may not find in them. Either way, just have fun

TIGER VALLEY

painting of buttongrass, trees and distant mountain with blue-grey thylacine
Tiger Valley is in the general area where the last wild Thylacine was captured. This is sort of what it looks like, complete with ghostly marsupial

UNDERGROUND MUSIC

a wall of singing faces with a distorted musician playing toadstools as if they are percussion instruments
Somebody was talking about the Mycelium, and Interconnectedness. Somehow, the conversation turned into this rather gorgeous, silly painting
