Original artwork: East coast Still life
The smell of the waves and the sound of the wind in Casuarina needles which also lie soft underfoot. In the crook of some lichen covered rocks lie treasures- Bronze winged Pigeon feathers, a pearlescent abalone shell, a red claw of a small crab and the hatched surface of casuarina nuts on the leathery curve of a Blue gum leaf.
It is such a pleasure to take the time to lol and let it all soak in.
Watercolour.
Frame dimensions: @ 25 ×30cm
Frame Material: Handcrafted Tasmanian Blackwood. Hanging wire attached.
Currently on display at Salt House Accommodation, Marion Bay.

Currently available artwork - mostly Watercolours and oils.
Each piece is framed in handcrafted Tasmanian timber.
The frame profiles are very simple - generally a square edge without extra fancy curves as I want to show off the timber to its best and not detract from the artwork. The finish on each frame is generally oil. One or two are coasted with polyurethane.
The advantage of the oil finish is that it highlights the timber grain and a lightly oiled cloth will rejuvenate the frame should it start looking tired.
I love our Tasmanian Forests and the timbers they produce.
I support local craftspeople to create beautiful timber frames for each piece.
Having said that; I know timber frames aren’t everyone’s preference and I can be convinced to “deframe” images if required….
If a frame is not desired please contact me.
