A Cute Animal Family - Pet Portraits on Rocks
A set of painted stone portraits I did recently for a customer, of her beautiful animal family.I loved how she requested different stone sizes to reflect the real life proportions of the animals in relation to each other. I'm currently available to take custom orders for rock paintings - see my Pet Portraits Page for more info.

From Pebble to Frog
One of my recent painted stones - a green and golden bell frog.Painting this brought back fond memories of my two pet frogs - Freddy and Algernon - that I raised from tadpoles when I was a kid. These pets had my Mum's full approval (unlike the 30 mice I kept in the spare bedroom at the time) because it...

Are All Possums Pests?
Not this one...I definitely don't like the habits NZ possums have, but I think they are truly adorable animals. I mean, have you ever been face to face with one and really looked at that gorgeous fur, the earnest bulgy eyes and little pink twitchy nose without noticing how cute it is? (Even if it is in the middle of...

About My Rock Painting
Though I have been painting and drawing all my life, I first discovered stone painting when I was about 14 years old, and the addiction has continued ever since! I’ve always been fascinated with illusion in art. While growing up I was very inspired by Graham Rust’s ‘trompe l’oeil’ murals in his book “The Painted House”. For me, rock painting is...

Would You Like an Elephant in Your Room?
One like this won't take up much space and does not require feeding!One fascinating fact I found out recently is that an adult elephant is capable of eating 200kg of food in one day. They can also weigh up to 9 tons! You certainly wouldn't want one sitting on your desk... Except this one maybe?He's a wee baby African...

A Newly Fledged Owl...
Owls are one of my most loved subjects to paint, both on rocks and as wall art. Suitably shaped stones that stand upright are rare and hard to find, so I have to ration them out! The morepork and the little owl are particular favourites of mine, and the only species which live in New Zealand, except for the barn...
