My most productive year to date with 78 works , some of huge proportions!

I was delighted to have 12 major commissions to work on...... very time-consuming and challenging ! The year also saw numerous pieces being donated for good causes...and to 'good' committees!....(I hope)

Mid-year brought the opportunity of supporting the Pyramid Society's Egyptian Event with 2 paintings going Stateside, 'Silver Anniversary' aka 'Born of the South Wind' given the honour of gracing their programme-cover....wow!!

November saw the World Crabbet Convention staged in Toowoomba Qld., and I couldn't resist the opportunity to display a large body of work so close to home, so from August to November 30 paintings were produced , including 5... 12'x 4' panels for the arena entrance (this was a major undertaking and had to be painted in an old aircraft factory......too big to do at home!) 23 of these works were auctioned finding new owners as far away as UK, USA, as well as Australia and NZ. During the year several other paintings went offshore....so I am now also represented in Indonesia, Kuwait, Poland and France.....How exciting!

The finale for the year was the commissioning of the truly beautiful mare 'Centre Misbehavin' 2004 Australian National Champion Arabian Mare.

What a wonderful year! Thank you one and all !
