Shooting Stars

How many colours are in the sky, when sky is all we can see ? 
They remind us of too of raindrops, waterfalls, petals of soft exotic flowers as we take the journey to enjoy the colours chosen and the pattens made. We come back to the fact as Stephen smiles and says "They are just shooting stars. In the desert and out bush, we can see many things up there in the sky" . These are just an example, stock will change constantly. If you see one of these lovely paintings that sings to you - it does need a loving home ! 

Thank you for a happy customer photo : ) The painting looks fantastic now stretched over a frame and aren't the colours devine

Aurora - 

Again capturing the amazing beauty of a clear night's sky, bringing it into our homes.
Auroras seen within the auroral oval may be directly overhead, but from farther away they illuminate the poleward horizon as a greenish glow, or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora

This is painted as one piece that when stretched can be displayed in either horizontal or vertical

Spirit Man - and "The Laws of Abundance in the Balance of Nature"

"We are born with everything we need. It is all around us. We have fire, water, hunting, shelter, tools, animals, plants, winds. Plenty to satisfy everything and be happy" Stephen shows us. All these things are celebrated in Stephen's strong Spirit Man's paintings. There is an appreciation here too of strong male figures - resourceful reliable men are very important role models in all societies and play an crucial  role in the structure of Aboriginal societies'  Culture, securing independence, respect for self & others of safe lifestyle choices.

This beautiful piece celebrating Water and all it brings us, is now stretched and ready to just hang on your wall. At the gallery now $750

Isn't this breathtaking, stunning, fabulous ? Size 162 x 87cm and generous edge for stretching $2100. Btw, the two large paintings behind this have found their new homes, so be quick if you love this one !

Freshly finished - still with the tape around the edges while the paints dry of softness in pinks, Natures' balance to the the starker individuality of life, supported by the rich plum soil of earth to plant our feet.

A beautiful abundant Desert Spirit Man. Freshly finished - still with the tape around the edges, but it was time to go : )

My Country

In paintings of "My Country" Stephen's remarkable blending of colours in a birds eye view of Lands only ever walked blends striking decor with Country and it's sense of time and connections. 

"My Country" A part of a larger journey. Landmarks and Songlines

Commission pieces in your colour scheme or for a personal occasion gift, new office or shop.
Match decor in celebrating Nature, the best artist of all. Stephen is happy to paint these stories (not My Country) in your preferred tones where appropriate, it does not compromise the integrity of the piece.
So why not do something really special (and exciting) to your size and colour?
