Mounts Bay, Marengo

Landscape oil painting of coastal vegetation with splashing waves and rock pools.
When I painted this scene I thought it was Apollo Bay, but I checked with Google and it is, in fact, Mounts Bay.  Always best to be shore.

Port Campbell Bay

Pear Half with Porcelain Vase

Still life oil painting of a bisected pear beside a white porcelain vase.
There once was a vase and a pear,
And the pear was half here and not there--
For in twain did it crack,
If you like, 'twas pared back,
Hence the whole of the halves made a pair.
