‘The Light in Her Eyes’ oil on linen 60 x 80 x 2 cm.
Portrait of Hyun-Lee @hyunleeee Filmmaker and director of French Girls at the Sydney and Melbourne film 🎥 festivals 2026.

I met Hyun in serendipitous circumstances and thought she’d make an excellent portrait subject. We talked about how reflected light in a subject’s eyes in portrait photography and painting creates the impression of animation, life and soul.

In this painting I tried to evoke Hyun’s beauty, intelligence and a sense of luminosity.

Thanks for the sublime music by @zoltan.pepper

‘Portrait of Tom’ 30.5 x 40.5 x 3.5 cm. oil on canvas.
Local Glebe legend and former school principal Tom inspired me with his independent spirit, keen intellect and warmth.

At cosy local café, @lepetittartecafe, I metTom, one of his friend’s Jethro and Jethro’s rainbow lorikeet Rosie.
Marc the café owner, looks after everyone with his friendly company and great food.

This painting centres on a large morning glory bloom, unfolding in rich purple and blue tones that evoke the freshness of morning. Lush green leaves and winding vines surround the flower, adding depth and movement. The exposed pinewood provides a warm, natural contrast, setting off the vibrancy of the foliage and bloom while grounding the composition in simplicity.

Ten minute sketches from the markets today. It was great enjoying a day portrait sketching and meeting Rhys @rhyshalkidis, Fran @nailrebellion and the lovely Leah. Thanks for making my day! Even though drawing in public can be scary, it was a lot of fun as well 🌞#artforartssake #artforall #quicksketch #portraits #procreateportraitsnimation
