Beautiful visitors to my home enjoying the olives beneath the tree.

This painting is quite large and was done from a photo as a special wedding present for my niece and her husband. They are both very fond of penguins. It is edged with a small black frame and looks wonderful in their home.

This oil painting is framed with a narrow grey timber box frame and has now been sold.

At Lazzar's Winery in Balnarring, they have a magnificent family of geese on the property. Every day Flash the dog does a great day of rounding up the geese and keeping an eye on them. Here she is guarding them from the wood heap! Lazzar's is an excellent winery to vist - outstanding wines, food and owners.

Happy times growing up, visiting farmyard friends! It was a thrill to be awarded winner for the "Best Oil Painting" at the 2011 Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Show, Red Hill, Victoria.

This painting was inspired by a visit to the animal shed at the Melbourne Royal Show where children were able to pick up and hold the chickens. As a child I spent holidays on a sheep farm and loved the experiences with all the animals.

Galahs are regular visitors to our home and I so enjoy seeing them every day.

What a magnificient bird! This Golden Pheasant belongs to my friend and lives on a property in Somerville. Its colours are breathtaking. I was delighted to see two golden pheasants in the wild whilst driving around on my last trip to the UK.

How interesting and inquisitive are our Isa Browns! My friends had this lovely pot of pansies so I was inspired to let the chooks investigate them.

"Lionel" belonged to a friend and here he is strolling the garden on a beautiful sunny day.

A commission painting - Pelican Percy now resides in a lovely home not far from Merricks Beach.
