Nature-inspired Oil Paintings

My oil paintings tend to have a quieter colour palette than my acrylic works. They are inspired by the natural world. Cold wax medium added to oil paint allows me to build 30+ layers and create texture.

I love quirky things, so my nature-inspired oil paintings sometimes have a twist such as the surrealist nature of my Bird on a Jug collection. The painting Bird on a Purple Jug is available for sale at Artel Gallery, 6 Mahara Place, Waikanae. Contact artelnz@gmail.com.

If oil and cold wax interests you, I also run oil and cold wax workshops.
