Gate at Villa Alba Museum, Kew

This picture was executed somewhat hurriedly, as the scene I intended to paint turned out to not be much of a scene at all (there was, in fact, very little to be seen); so with afternoon light fading rapidly, I had choose another subject and go like a bull at a gate.

Copper Pot with Carrot

Wikipedia describes copper nitrate as "an inorganic compound that forms a blue crystalline solid"; however, as a child I was led to believe it was a term for police officers' overtime.  Equally, I was incorrectly led to believe that carrots might aid police officers' night vision.

Princes Bridge with Flinders Street Station, Melbourne

Initially I planned to include the full copper dome of the Flinders Street building, but the constraints of a small canvas caused me to settle for a more modest scene.  You might say I had ideas above my station but was somewhat brought back to earth.
