Title: The Deayton Kids with Attitude.

I was commissioned by my friend Megan’s son, Max to paint an old photo of her three children when they were only kids looking at the horizon whist standing in the water at Cape Tribulation. What I loved about painting was the attitude of Taylah, Todd and Max, the beach scene, and the three reflections of the kids in the sand. I loved the colors in this painting and the kid’s attitude just enjoying the moment and knowing that their Mum Megan would love this photo.

MARCUCCI FAMILY LINKS FAMILY AND THEIR HOME

I was commissioned in July 2020 by Debbie Marcucci to paint this scene of the backs of her family, daughter Alysha, husband Tony, herself, then daughter Karina and son Aiden, all holding hands on their farmland in Yarragon, country Victoria.

Debbie wanted this scene painted in black and white, and obviously many shades of grey. This is the first painting I have completed in black and white and I personally found it challenging but a really cleansing experience.

The original photo Debbie gave me was the family and black and white dog, Bobbie, in a different back drop and so I had to superimpose them into the backdrop that Debbie wanted, which was their farmland and the surrounding mountains that they see every day, and their second dog, Abbie. I had to include the bit of snow on one of the mountains as well.

I have thoroughly enjoyed painting this for Debbie and her family as I have known them since 1991 and know them all very well as well and some of their special characteristics of their personalities that make them, who they truly are.

This is one of my best paintings and I have loved the challenge of painting in black and white and painting my friends.  I hope that the Marcucci Family love this painting as much as I do.

THE BOND BETWEEN A DAD AND HIS SONS

I was commissioned in May 2020 by Kim Jarrett-Blanck to paint this beach scene of her husband, Jeff and their two sons, Jake, and James. The beach is a remote beach on the New South Wales Coast which the family visited on a caravan holiday.  Kim loves this photo and asked me to paint it for her husband, Jeff for his birthday in July. Kim loves this photo of her three special men specially the way Jeff is pointing to something and the boys are looking in that direction with the same interest and passion that Jeff has. I loved the photo too, as it portrays the bond between the three, a father and his two sons.  The way Jeff has his arm around Jake and how James obviously is hanging on to every word Jeff is saying and is looking in the distance to see what his dad is pointing at.
