Hello all!  Today I am thrilled to share an update on one of my artworks - 'Big Bird' that hangs in the nursery of a lovely little boy in U.S.A.


The picture was painted as part of a 'duet' last year and it is such a pleasure to receive updates from their new home!


To read the original posts on these two artworks, please click HERE, HERE, and HERE!



The nursery was recently updated with some fun and stylish decal 'polka dots' and 'washitape' frames. It looks great don't you think!?

For additional images of this nursery and to read the full story please click HERE to be transported to the fab blog 'Design Addict Mom'. Enjoy!

'Gammon Lampinen Family Tree'

First of all, let me apologize for the poor photographs. My big camera is away on service and I have had to resort to a little 'snap-shot' one.

Title: 'Gammon Lampinen Family Tree'
Size: 60 x 90cm   Date: June 2011


This painting was commissioned by a lovely Finnish girl as a gift to her Finnish-Australian nephews in Sydney. The brief was to create a 'family tree' in the midst of a landscape that included iconic references to both countries.


When I think of Scandinavia - of which Finland is part - I see images of forest animals, birch trees, red cottages and an abundance of birds. Look closely at the painting and you can also see typical 'Sami drawings' (Sami people = Scandinavia's indigenous folk) of a reindeer on the chimney of the cottage.


Australia is the home of some truly unique & iconic animals - the kangaroo (this one wearing 'Ugg boots'..!), and the yellow ridged Cockatoo, to name a couple.
I also wanted the painting to hold reference to the Aboriginal culture - there is a boomerang perched on a Gum tree branch, some indigenous carvings on the chimney of the 'Queenslander style' cottage, and also a circle of 'Aboriginal style' stars around the sun.
