The Art Gallery

This page now holds some of my art. The only works of art which shall remain where they are currently, are a couple on "Australia - My Home".

Click on the thumbnail sized paintings to open in a new browser window. New paintings, where possible, will be shown in their actual size- unless otherwise noted. Paintings will gradually be relegated to the 'older' set, which can be found on the next page.

All paintings scanned or photographed are my original works. When paintings were sold or given away as gifts, I always made sure I had a photograph of them first.

Some of the paintings on this page and the next, have been changed in colour, brightness etc. The explanation for this is on the 'New' page.

I had to remove this small painting

from its rather ornate old gold frame

A little story about the painting above left :

Many years back, a horse named Saboli, raced around the metropolitan tracks in Melbourne. He was a real rogue - extremely hard to handle and had a vile reputation. Many jokes were made about strappers and their problems with him. He was trained ( I think he was a one man horse ! ), on a farm - rounding up cattle, jumping logs, and generally doing it the hard way up and down rocky slopes. I followed him from his first race to his last - and I won a fair bit of money on him as he was most often friendless in the market. Came the great day when he was entered in the Melbourne Cup - having previously won the Moonee Valley Cup, much to everyone's astonishment. (won a lot on him that day), and people laughed - he was by this time called " Old Saboli" as he'd been around for such a long time. No he didn't win - but for an old codger he did extremely well, coming 6th. He was retired to his farm and his much loved owner/trainer after that, much to the relief of his handlers. I was so smitten by this horse, I attempted to paint him and this is the result. I think I got the blaze on his face correct - but that's probably about all !!! ..... Annie.
