Portrait of Edward Cutcliffe
An icon of inner west Sydney, Edward was a cheeky and playful yet somewhat intriguing subject. From the moment he sat down, the conversation flowed comfortably. Edward has a way of making those around him totally at ease, and of course, that made it so much easier for me to capture him. Inspired by his wonderful waxed and curled moustachios I have painted him in the traditional manner of the Dutch masters, a style I adore. Thanks Ed!

Detail - Melange
Two of my works will be on display “Flamenco” and “Melange” – a detail of which is above. This painting is a depiction of race, colour and an exercise in people’s perception of same. It is always interesting to see people’s reactions to this painting, puzzled looks and such varying feedback!
