Woodturning and Wood Crafts
Woodturning and wood crafts as
a art form appears to be largely overlooked
by galleries in general these days, so the
woodturning pages in this website have been
created not just in the hope of selling my
artwork but in the main to showcase and
publicise some of the projects that I have
enjoyed turning and that may appeal to
others who work with wood. More importantly
it is hoped that my wood crafts may inspire those
who haven't yet started woodturning in to
having a go.
Each piece I turn is totally unique
and hand turned using timber obtained from a
local tree surgeon where ever possible. I do
use other woods but they are selected
sustainable hardwoods from around the world.
A large part of the fascination of
woodturning and in wood crafts to some
degree is in exposing the treasures
that lay beneath the bark. I love wood with
character and often look for pieces with
wild grain and natural flaws which may well
become a feature in a particular wood turned
piece.
Some of the pieces I turn involve an
element of carving, some require decoration
using car body filler or wood dyes others
just require the beauty of the grain, but
it's good to cross boundaries by integrating
another art form in to your work.
Almost all of my woodturnings and
wood crafts are
finished with at least three coats of Danish
oil which allows the character of the grain
to show through. Alternatively I use a coat
of sanding sealer, a good coat of friction
polish and then where possible give it a
finishing polish on the buffing wheel.
Each of my woodturning galleries
include relevant turning topics and tips. I
do hope you enjoy viewing them.
Original Watercolour Paintings
The key to becoming a
painter in any medium is to never give up....' Like any
new form of art, watercolour painting can be difficult
at first. It is only with time and practice that you'll
become a better painter. Never become discouraged by
your mistakes or lack of progress.
If you find yourself uninspired
or confused about what to paint, think about what you like.
You can develop numerous ideas for subjects in a variety of
ways. If you love animals, you could take a trip to the zoo
and take some photo's or head to an aquarium and do the
same. If you are a lover of the outdoors and nature, take a
trip out with a camera.
If you become frustrated or
discouraged remember that every budding artist has been
there. Take your photos to your studio and select things
from a number of the photo's to create the most desirable
topic for your painting. It will soon become second nature.
I hope my galleries inspire you to have a go!!

Australia.
