            I did a workshop with Colley, a thoroughly good bloke, very helpful. I’m
            somewhat gobsmacked that he can do paintings like the above in no more
            than 20 mins … max 30 … Very quick painter. Must do another workshop
            with him this year. Certainly a very painterly painter.

                    Glad everyone enjoyed it. Someone on here pointed out my lack of light in my paintings at one time and this is a great example of what my paintings were lacking…very revealing to me as a relatively new painter. This work, in my opinion, is a very good example of waiting for the right light so that a person can work both in the shadow and light families to get a nice painting in the end.

                        What fabulous brush work and light – thanks for bringing such a super artist to my attention.

                            Excellant , beautiful, and amazing. Great use of contrast and choice of color schemes.

                                    Incredible, really incredible. I love it when an artist can say so much in such a simple way – but it’s not simple! He makes it look so easy. I love his use of warm lights and cool shadows.

                                    I just push the paint around while the painting pushes me.

                                        I love this synthetic painting! Light is splendid.

                                        I am envious. I have one of his books and would buy the other but it seems to be out of print.

                                            I’ve never heard of this bloke but the first one is immediately recognisable to me as the New Farm end of the Storey Bridge in Brisbane. He really nails the bright Queensland sunshine that’s for sure.

                                            Cheers
