Fake rock, painted with acrylics. Approx size 55×30cm inc. frame
Rock art was painted at different times in history by the San Bushmen in various sites an South Africa, especially in the Cederberg and Drakensberg mountains. Some of it is more than 2000 years old.
My pictures are not slavish reproductions of original paintings, but they imitate the style and hopefully the figures bear some resemblance to the pictures before they became weathered and faded.
Most are hunting scenes but this one (left) is of Shaman trance dancers.
The rest of the collection can be seen on my Flickr site (see links on right hand side of this page).

(SOLD but can do something vaguely similar) Inspired by a photo I took in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Acrylic on Canvas.
I photographed this woman using a long lens and it turned out as one of my favourite photos from India. She was so elegant in her beautiful purple and gold sari. It was as though she had chosen the beetroot to complete the colour co-ordination.

Daybreak and the day’s tasks begin.
This collage could be described as semi-abstract.

Acrylic on stretched canvas. Approximately 45 X 30cm. inc. frame
It is difficult to show colours accurately on a photo but here is another of the smaller pictures - as opposed to the really long ones. Metallics don’t show up either but they look good on the real thing.

A complete change of colour! The tusks and top of his head are metallic - copper, which is not clear in a photo.

If only you could see the sequins and ‘jewels’ in this photo. They sparkle!

This elephant is a print on canvas of one of my originals, which I then over-painted as an experiment - successful I think but far more work than I anticipated!

This was the third animal of a commissioned set. The photo does not do it justice because it doesn’t show the gold and other shiny bits. When you see the painting it really shines and sparkles!
