Creativity Scrapbook

This is not really a diary, but rather and accumulation of art, whether it be painting, poetry, sewing, photography or any other creative endeavour of mine... though it may occasionally contain some stuff I've been thinking... If you are interested in buying an original or a print or commissioning art, feel free to contact me.

Stag in the Tararuas

When I was walking in the bush I really wanted to capture a photo of a deer and asked God if I could, and though I got lost I managed to see a deer and it stayed put until I had taken my photo. The photo however was rather low resolution so I wanted to use it as a basis for a painting.
I did it in a few hours with probably too much paint, so it got a little messy and
hard to add detail in the green areas near the end, but I am relatively pleased with it.

Done with oils on stretched canvas, 10x12'' 30 April 2009

Peacock feather


A fun endeavour. This is a 4x4'' stretched canvas on which I painted metallic paint to suit the feather and then stuck a real peacock feather onto it :)

Throne of Grace


The inspiration behind this painting came from a time I was worshipping God, amazed that while His throne is full of glory and those surrounding it are glorious - angels, living creatures and elders, that we can approach Him with boldness and confidence. I was struck by my humannesss and with the amazing grace, kindness and benevolence of a holy God to allow me to approach!

The man in this picture could be any one of us, made a son of God by adoption, cleansed by the blood of Jesus and made righteous, hence the white t-shirt.
And the jeans, highlighting the fact that He has allowed us, humans, to come before Him!!
