Painting in oils has been one of my favourite pastimes for most of my life. Now that I have reached the end of my career as a primary school teacher, I've been using some of my time to build this virtual gallery to exhibit my pictures.

That's me back in 1981."Self Portrait in the Mirror" 

The beard and most of the hair have gone now!

(I am not a portrait painter- I've always been reluctant

to ask anyone to sit still for hours, when I'm not even

sure the end result will be worth their discomfort.)

 

 

This is me more recently, flying my paraglider near Byron Bay.

 I started paragliding in Jan. 2006 and I'm loving it! Since then I have also started including paragliders in some of my landscapes.These can be found in my  Paragliding Series Gallery.
